Hi Forum,

i'm forwarding, as requested, here, what i've asked in a ticket:

> Tom, do you know how can i change the IP EVERYWHERE on my server? If i use a standard recursive "sed" -see above-, it will substitute al symlinks with static files.

!/bin/sh

grep -rl OLDIP ./ |

while read filename

do

(

echo "Editing: $filename"

sed -i "s/OLDIP/NEWIP/g;" $filename

)

done

This is just because the initial grep, also searches in symlinks:

SRV:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# grep -rl OLDIP ./

./00_master.conf

./ispcp.conf

SRV:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled#

As you can see, those files are symlinks:

SRV:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# ls -lha

total 8.0K

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 4 12:18 .

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4.0K Aug 4 12:15 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Aug 4 12:18 00master.conf -> ../sites-available/00master.conf

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 4 12:18 ispcp.conf -> ../sites-available/ispcp.conf

SRV:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled#

Any idea?

Have you ever done something similar?

Thankyou!

EDIT:

Found this in your documentation, but still have the same problem!

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/98.76.54.32/12.34.56.78/' {} \;
