Change a Wiki group name?

Question

Hello.
We've had a wiki set up for a certain group and I'm now required to change the name of said group. I set up a test group called "Test Group", created a wiki for them, then I changed the group name/shortname in WGM, but this new name isn't reflected in the wiki.
So, wondering, how do I go about making a change to the group name and have it reflected in the wiki?
Thanks,
Kristin.

i had the same problem, and found a solution which worked for me. some of these steps may not be necessary, but i'm not sure which, so...
1. in workgroup manager, turn off the services and save the group.
2. then, change the shortname (and long name if you wish), and save the group.
3. then, re-enable the services and save the group.
4. stop and restart the webserver and the wikiserver (see below)
5. use a browser to view the brand new, empty wiki for this group, which also creates the folder for the wiki in /Library/Collaboration/Groups
6. on the command line, become root and change to the /Library/Collaboration/Groups directory. in there, rename the new group folder to something else
7. rename the old group folder the new group name
8. inside the old group folder (with the new name), remove the index.db file
9. change all the plist files in this directory and any subdirectories to update the file locations to the new directory... (see below)
10. stop and restart the web and wiki servers (as #4)
11. use a browser to see the old contents under the new name
for items 4 and 10, i created the following script to make it easier for me...
#!/bin/tcsh
+if ( $uid != 0 ) then+
+echo 'must be root'+
else
+serveradmin stop teams+
+serveradmin stop web+
+sleep 2+
+serveradmin start web+
+serveradmin start teams+
endif
for item 9, as my wiki had nearly 150 pages, i didn't want to edit every file by hand, so inside the group folder i used the following command
sed -e '/oldgroupname/s//newgroupname/' -i .bk `find . -name \*.plist`
obviously, i didn't use "oldgroupname" and "newgroupname", and that command needs to be run as root.
that will use the find command to get the names of all the plist files, and sed will edit each file, changing all instances of the oldgroupname to the newgroupname, and keep a backup of the original plist file with a ".bk" added to the name.
hope this helps.
cheers,
