Change links after moving to another server

[Dior2]

Hi,

I´ve moved the wiki to another server but in every ticket and every link is fixed to the ip from the old server.
(Symptom files, ... like http://199.0.0.20/dokuwiki/data/Ticketsystem/symptoms/821_sympt_test.pdf).

How do I change the IP in a simple way?

regards
Dior

2 steps; one is simple, the other one isn't.

open the file "...dokuwiki\data\it_store[ProjectName]_project.issues" with an editor
lets assume you want to replace IP 199.0.0.20 by 199.100.100.20
search for "199.0.0.20" and replace by "199.100.100.20"

the result should look like:
s:72:"http://199.100.100.20/dokuwiki/data/Ticketsystem/symptoms/821_sympt_test.pdf"
that was the easy piece of cake ...

now you have to modify the string "s:72" length for each finding of the path (not "s:72" all findings at all ! just where attachment path appears else data file integrity is destroyed !)
Example:
legnth of former path "http://199.0.0.20/dokuwiki/data/Ticketsystem/symptoms/821_sympt_test.pdf" is 72 characters.
legnth of new path "http://199.100.100.20/dokuwiki/data/Ticketsystem/symptoms/821_sympt_test.pdf" is 76 characters.

search for s:72:"http://199.100.100.20/dokuwiki/data/Ticketsystem/symptoms/821_sympt_test.pdf"
has to be turned into s:76:"http://199.100.100.20/..."

s: is different for each attachment due to different length of filename.
Assuming the difference between former and new IP address is just those 4 characters (rest of the path remains identical compared to the old server)
so you have to add 4 to the length s: of the former path length. you can do that by a more or less intelligent script.
