severndigital Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have a problem where we used a DYNDNS.org domain name when developing a site. somehow the domain got hard coded and. I try to edit the database but when I do find and replace for all instances, the site just crashes. Is there a way to use mod_rewrite sniff our the offending code and replace it with the right information. basically I have something like this on the page <a href="old.dyndns.org">A Link</a> and I want to change it to this <a href="www.correctdomain.com">A Link</a> could this be done with mod_rewrite?

mac_gyver Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 the links you output on your page must point to where your web site is hosted. mod_rewrite has nothing to do with what you are outputting. mod_rewrite determines what happens when your server receives a request for a page. if old.dyndns.org still points to where your web site is hosted, mod_rewrite could be used, but it doesn't sound like that is what you need.

severndigital Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 no you are right. The dyndns.org website is gone and the links are dead. for now I am going to write a quick fix in js or something to rewrite the urls until I can get it fixed. thanks.
