Changing a site URL.

I have a production site url.company.com and a staging site urlstaging.company.com.
I restored the production database to the staging farm. The site is listed in Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection List as url.company.com in both production and staging environments instead of the defined managed
paths. I checked out IIS bindings in the associate web applications; in production the bindings include url.company.com and in staging the URLs include urlstaging.company.com.
How do I change the URL of the Site collection to urlstaging.company.com?

Hi,
According to your description, An alternative would be to use an Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) if this is a root site collection. If it isn't, pretty much your best option is that you need to use stsadm or PowerShell to backup, for example:
stsadm -o backup -url
http://server/sites/sc1 -overwrite -filename sc1.dat
stsadm -o deletesite -url
http://server/sites/sc1
stsadm -o restore -url
http://server/sites/sitecollectionone -filename sc1.dat
Best regards

Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order

Description
Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order of all lists that
* contain folder content types
* and have a custom content type order
* where a folder content type is the first content type in order.
Reproducible behaviour
1. Create a Team Site in Sharepoint
2. Create a Task List "Test" on the Team Site
3. Go to List Settings
4. The Content Type order is by default
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
5. Change the Content Type Order to
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
6. Go To Site Settings "Title, description and icon"
7. Change the Site Url
8. Go To List "Test" List Settings
9. The Content Type order now is
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
10. Select "Change New button order and default content type"
11. Here, the Content Type order still is
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
Is this a bug? Has anyone noticed this behaviour before?
Kind Regards,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
You are not missing something or doing something wrong. i Hope :). This behavior is reproductible.
The granularity of change is better by Powershell. But by the interface is most user-friendly.
Maybe that's the reason of this behavior.

Changing the Site URL - Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
Currently have a site named https://commissioningtoolkit.sharepoint.com but im wanting to change it to
https://toolkits.sharepoint.com. Ive looked on this forum and there are answers stating that Alternative Access Mapping is the way to do it. However, when I go to find this option it is nowhere to be seen
and there are no ways (which i can find) to enable this function.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Tom

You cannot do this with SharePoint Online. The original Tenant name is used for the hostname within sharepoint.com. Because you do not own the domain (sharepoint.com), you would not be able to set up any sort of DNS record.
The only way to get 'toolkits.sharepoint.com' is to create a new Office 365 tenant named "toolkits".

#Site.URL# link in emails

#Site.URL# link in emails
Hi - we have a new link for newScale for Request Center and it is https instead of http. Now when we add a link to an email to the request center, it changes the https link back to the http link which doesn't work. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks Tylor - that didn't work. Here's what I'm putting in -
<A href="https://our site url" target="_blank">OnlineServiceCatalog</A>
and this is what it changes to - which errs out when user clicks on link in email.
<A href="#Site.URL#application.do" target=_blank>OnlineServiceCatalog</A>
The #Site.URL# is standard in newScale and we know that it must live somewhere in the code, but we can't seem to find it to change it so

Site url in preview url

For preview feature in bcc, i have specified a HomePagePath.properties files which contains the following content
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewPath
defaultPath=/crs/index.jsp
But instead of this hard-coded url, i would like to add site url to the defaultPath so that it might look like defaultPath=/crs/${site.id}/index.jsp
My requirement is to preview the home page of that site, on which i am making changes in the Merchandising screen. So if i am selecting homeus
the url should go to /crs/homeus instead of /crs/index.jsp.

I have not tried this but I guess you can use RequestParameterRuleFilter for this and pass the pushSite and stickySite query parameters in your preview URL. Check the configuration of /atg/multisite/RequestParameterRuleFilter on your preview server. For details refer this documentation:

Changing Hibernate - connection URL after startup in LCDS

Hi,
I have a flex app that have different databases (names) with the same tables.
I want to dynamically change the database url in hibernate (or hibernateassmebler used in data destination) based on the customer.
(example. xyz company will have xyz database in mysql)
While I know it is possible to have assembler run-time configuration and change it using remoting, I am wondering if there is any solution to change Assembler hibernate-db-configuration (like by extending it..) on demand. (for destinations that are already written in the data-management.xml file).
If not, it poses a large inflexibility.

Finally I have found this site:
[http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/oracle-architecture-configuration/changing-windows-hostname-and-oracle-enterprise-manager/|http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/oracle-architecture-configuration/changing-windows-hostname-and-oracle-enterprise-manager/]
These are the steps:
1. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora file from an IP number to machine name.
2. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file from an IP number to a machine name.

Changing domain site name

How do you change the domain url to http://Iweb.domainname.com. Now my web site comes up as something like this, http://web.mac.com/xxxx/iWeb/Hurds%20Words%20and%20Birds/Welcome.html. That's way too hard for anyone to remember. I'm new to iweb so please excuse me if this has been posted and answered before.
chrd

There is an alternative, shorter URL available without forwarding an external domain name to your .Mac address. The most basic address for your iWeb content at .Mac is http://web.mac.com/xxxx where xxxx is your .Mac user name. This is all that is needed to open the topmost ('home') page of the topmost site in iWeb's Site Organizer.
Home pages for additional sites are accessed using http://web.mac.com/xxxx/iWeb/sitename.

Cisco CWMS Mail settings admin@ WebEx-site-URL

A Hi all,
I am having issues sending out email.
Taken from CWMS administration guide:
Step 5
#If displayed, enter the Username and Password credentials for the system to access your corporate mail server.Emails from the system are sent by admin@<WebEx-site-URL>. Ensure that the mail server can recognize this user.
Is there anyways to use other username instead of admin?
Reason being [email protected] is currently being used by our company and it is also a mailing list mail address
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello Srdjan,
thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay.
above is the screenshot of nslookup output.
Virtual Machine who hosts webex server:
Host name: webexadmin.bsb.com.cn IP addr: 18.2.0.5
Webex admin URL: webexsuper.bsb.com.cn | IP addr: 18.2.0.7
Webex site URL: webexweb.bsb.com.cn | IP addr: 18.2.0.7
After they re-add all related hostname&IP mapping (EXSi server, vcenter, webex VM, webex Admin&Site URL) to the DNS server (11.4.0.8), webex site URL is now accessible, the page which asks me to input user ID & password to login.
However, when we input the webex site URL (webexweb.bsb.com.cn) in Browser, we are automatically redirected to webexadmin.bsb.com.cn (host name of the virtual machine that hosts the webex), is that expected behaviors for webex site URL?
Besides, we are now planning to change the mail server on webex, but we found that it did not allow us to input IP address of mail server, only FQDN name of mail server is valid for input. Is that a bug ? Why it does not allow us to input IP address for mail server?
I will update you with the specific verson of my webex server soon.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Kind Regards.

Podcast is having issues since I changed the feed url

Ever since I changed the feed url for my podcast in itunes I have problems with the feed not working properly.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=157571623
When I try to download random files or episodes in this podcast it wont download in itunes. I get an error code (-50) saying it could be a network problem. But if I go to the direct feed url which is this in safari browser. I can click on the mp3 link and it plays just fine. Then after doing that I can go back into itunes and click "get" on the exact same file that wasnt downloading earlier and now it downloads. Very odd. Once that is done all files in itunes download without any problems. I thought it was just something wrong with my itunes. But it only happens for my feed when I subscribe to it. I tried it on my windows system in itunes and having the exact same problem. I called a couple people up and its happeing with them in itunes also. When one of us accesses the feed by way other than itunes it will then work for awhile then go back to not working again. It started happening when I changed the url in itunes to have it point to the feedburner url. Im having the issue right now as a matter of fact. I cant even listen to the preview of each episode. Maybe someone can try the itunes feed and check it out for me. Any ideas?
Its frustrating. Im wondering if I need to just submit a new podcast to itunes.
PS: I posted this in itunes for windows, Im using both mac and windows. Its not specific to either OS.

Im pretty sure the problem has been resolve. We own both the .org and the .com extensions of our website. The primary being the .org and a redirect if a user goes to the .com address. I use feeder to create the podcast feeds and it has an autofill feature in it. Somewhere along the line on the enclosures I inputed the .com address instead of .org. Why the redirect works just fine in most feed readers. Apparently itunes doesnt support it. One of the users in the feedburner forum picked up on this. I corrected all the enclosure urls to .org as they should be and everything so far works fine.

When changing "browser.newtab.url" is there any way to prevent the address bar from getting focus?

When I change "browser.newtab.url" to about:home and open a new tab, focus is set to the address bar not the search box on the firefox home page. The same thing happens if i change the url to google.com or another search engine. Is there any way to prevent this from happening.

Custom new Tab has a small bug if the start page is exactly the same as the new tab page. Then the focus of the start page is on the address bar. Just leave the "www." out in the startpage and use "www." in the new tab page then it works perfectly. e.g.
Startpage: google.com
new Tab page : www.google.com
Now the focus of the start page is on the search box.

Is there a way to remove the changes to the URL Bar, specifically the status information and the target URL?

To begin, I utterly despise the changes to the URL Bar and the removal of the Status bar. In order to stay with the latest version of Firefox I am attempting to recreate the look and feel as best I can.
I have already installed the Status-4-Evar extension. The only thing that remains is to remove the status information and the target URL from the bar.
Are there any settings in about:config that will allow me to make these changes?
EDIT: Status information can be removed by toggling. status4evar.statusInUrlBar. Still looking for a way to remove the target URL...

This code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line seems to remove the links that appear on hover.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
.urlbar-textbox-container {color: inherit !important;}
.urlbar-textbox-container-children {opacity: 1 !important;}
.urlbar-over-link-box {opacity: 0 !important;}
</nowiki></pre>

Special characters in UCM site URL does not give error

Hey Experts,
If we put any special characters in site URL, UCM does not show 404 page .. for e.g.
site URL is http://www.example.com/abc/xyzs/index.html.... if we add special characters in URL for e.g. http://www.example.com/#$abc/xyzs/index.html...
then home page of site is displayed .....http://www.example.com/...
Also http://www.example.com/ abc/xyzs/index.html shows home page ..
Any idea why it is happening ??

I would attribute this behavious to the SSUrlMap filter - which has the job of turning the friendly URL's into SS_GET_PAGE service calls. Apparently the way it parses the URLs and looks for the patterns does not consider these characters.
Is it actually a problem?

Get site collection url, site url and list url from a full uri?

If I have incoming: only URI's of the format http://a.b.c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p.docx
(And these are coming from multiple farms and multiple site collections) (and i have a web api on some remote server) (and have all the authentication details)
And I want to query just the single the item via csom : check one column and if value="yes" then download the doc:
a. how do i get the absolute site url out of it for " clientcontext ctx = new clientcontext(THISURL) "
b. how do i then get the list uri out of it to push a caml query to to then retrieve it
I could :
a. strip off the filename, that is the easy part :)
b. I could paste "/_api/contextinfo" behind it and POST it first as a httprequest. Then first get the site and web url and later on
find a way to find the list url (which is probably the first item behind the fullWebUrl), but it seems weird to mix this in the mix
Basically im looking for something that tells me what is what in http://a.b.c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p.docx

Sorry, GetList is only available in the O365 version of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client. If you could test for a root site collection and if there is not one then take the scheme ... + Uri.segments[0] and then get the context. After that you can use
the GetFileByServerRelativeUrl. The following demonstrates this.
public static void GetFileList()
string fileUrl = "http://basesmc15/teamonesubone/teamsubonesubone/Shared%20Documents/folderholder/newauthor6.pdf";
Uri fileUri = new Uri(fileUrl);
Uri webUrl;
ClientContext rootContext = new ClientContext(fileUri.Scheme + Uri.SchemeDelimiter + fileUri.Host);
webUrl = Web.WebUrlFromPageUrlDirect(rootContext, fileUri);
ClientContext subContext = new ClientContext(webUrl.ToString());
File file = subContext.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(fileUri.AbsolutePath);
List list = file.ListItemAllFields.ParentList;
subContext.Load(list);
subContext.ExecuteQuery();

Changing Internal & External URLs?

We run split DNS so right now for all services the internal and external Exchange 2010 URLs are simply set to mail.domain1.com.
If I change them to mail.domain2.net, assuming there is a valid cert on the Exchange box for mail.domain2.net, and assuming that split DNS points mail.domain2.net to the internal/external IP of the Exchange box, new clients should pick up the new domain.
What happens to existing clients i.e. Outlook and ActiveSync?
Will they continue to use mail.domain1.com until the account is removed and added again, or do they do a periodic refresh/update/poll of which setting to use?
In particular would the URL used by Outlook Anywhere be updated on the client automatically?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
For the migration from the Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, we need change the external URLs with the new Exchange 2007 host name legacy.domain.com and migrate all mailboxes including public folders.
For more information about the migration, you can refer to the following articles:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-3-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
