changing domain in all links -- mod_rewrite?

[severndigital]

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?

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.

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.
