About this task
There are cases where a collection of URLs in a Blogs deployment will break. For example, if a user changes from one deployment to another and the host name changes from lc95.cn.ibm.com to lc96.cn.ibm.com, all the URLs that use the form http://lc95.cn.ibm.com/xxx will break. Use this command to update URLs in the following places:
- Entry and comment content, including the URL for an image source, links to web pages, and video sources.
- Trackback URLs in comments.
- Links in the content of an autosaved entry or comment.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client following the steps in Administer Blogs using the wsadmin Client.
- Start the Blogs Jython script interpreter by entering the following command:
execfile("blogsAdmin.py")
- Run the following command to fix broken URLs in entries and comments:
BlogsAdminService.fixBrokenUrls(<replacePattern>, <replaceValue>)where <replacePattern> is the pattern of the part of the URLs that need to be replaced, and where<replaceValue> is the string to correct the URLs.
For example:
BlogsAdminService.fixBrokenUrls("http://example.com:9082/blogs", "http://example.com:9080/blogs")changes URLs with the form http://example.com:9082/blogs/xxx to http://example.com:9080/blogs/xxx.
