Best practice to rename site1.local to site.mydomain.com?

[ptec5000]

Hey there, I just installed a fresh version on my Digital Ocean CentOS 7 VPS.

I used the easy install script.

Last time I destroyed “everything” while I wanted to setup Letsencrypt and rename the default site.

Could anyone tell me how I can rename the site1.local to erp.mydomain.com ?

All I did is set a A Record in my DNS to point to the VPS IP.

Do I have to change some settings on my server locally too?

Thank you very much!

This still works

Is there a way to rename a site?

I eventually figured this out. It is a multi-step process use bench stop to stop the sites rename the site folder (e.g. site1.local) to what you want it to be (e.g. erp.domain.com) edit the config/nginx.conf file (as noted above) and search on site1.local or whatever the folder name was and then replace the value with new folder name run bench start to start up things. That should do it.

If bench restart hangs,
sudo systemctl restart supervisor

And then retry

I tried this now but “bench stop” is not working.

I tried : sudo systemctl stop supervisor
but this is giving me:
Failed to stop supervisor.service: Unit supervisor.service not loaded.

How can I stop bench - just by killing the process with pid?

Thanks

Just stop nginx will do

sudo service nginx stop

It’s mentioned in that link, please refer the last replies

Thanks that worked great!

stopped nginx
mv site1.local erp.mydomain.com
edit all the site1.local entries in the nginx.conf
bench restart
start nginx

Everything fine so far

Usually I’ll just:

1. Rename: mv sites/site1.local sites/erp.mydomain.com

2. Update Nginx: bench setup nginx

3. Reload Nginx: sudo service nginx reload

This always works for me!
