Hey ladies and gents.

Anyone know of a solution to search and replace links across a server with several domains on it?..

We have it incorporated into a custom solution but wont be ready for several days/weeks.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. :)

Here's how I do it.....

""""Technick ,you homo bastard!!! I want every single mother fucking link on every fucking domain we have changed , right fucking now , or my foot is gonna pay a visit at high speed to your scrotum"""

I then find it helps to stand behind making noises like a quiz show clock ticking down whilst stretching ,warming up and putting on my special "nut kicking" shoes...(opera slippers don't cause that castrato squeal that i do try to obtain with my nut kicking)


;-))))

Oh and people that have worked at the offices in Vancouver know I'm not really exagerrating.

;-)))

Sounds quite familiar.....

""""JizBiz ,you aboot talkin homo bastard!!! I want every single mother fucking link on every fucking domain we have changed , right fucking now mate, or me BAR B is gonna pay your IGLOO a visit via dial up to your scrotum"""

But he cant stand behind me cause theres 3 weeks worth of ocean between us...haha

But you can see why im looking :agrin:

I think you'll find though that people from his part of the world do appreciate my management technique.

If you really want to impress him , mention that you've heard that his Cricket team are a bunch of poofs ( means "really good")

:)

for i in `grep -ir olddirectory/subdir/link1.html /www/vhosts/ | cut -d":" -f1 | sort | uniq`; do cat $i | sed -e 's/olddirectory\/subdir\/link1.html/newdirectory\/newlink1.html/g' > .tmp$$; mv -f .tmp$$ $i; done

That would search all files in /www/vhosts (and all subdirectories) for the string "olddirectory/subdir/link1.html", produce a unique list of filenames with full path, replace the string you searched for with "newdirectory/newlink1.html", write the new output to a temp file, then overwrite the original file with your new one.

:huh: :blink:

I tried a few browser based solutions but they all seemed to have issues.

This seems to always work.

Works most of the time but seems to not work sometimes for no reason at all.

Mr Benn is a very sharp guy :) A pleasure to deal with as well.

Run it from an ssh session from your ftp root, take a look at it and you'll get it.
It'll change anything server wide.

Of course it's even easier to treat html as php from the get go and use includes but that's another discussion.

I'm getting an internal server error on that link Bill

I haven't had many problems with it ... been using it for about three years, but only on a per-domain basis.

Dunno what that crap was all about. See my original post, right click and save as. (I zipped it and that did the trick)

Friggin' mountain dew drinking programmers getting in the way of productivity again.
