Change URL of Project Web Access

N

Apparently, there seems no easy way to change the URL for PWA. I even tried
downloading SQL Scripts that replaces "ABC" to "DEF" in all tables and all
databases. End up having "Unexpected errors" when accessing PWA.

Anyone got any ideas to do this?

Not sure if this will work, but at the recent project nference I read
something about URL re-directs..

On MOSS /sharepoint there is AAM (alternative Access mapping) - Central
Admin=>operatiopns=>Alternate Access Mapping..

not sure if this will resolve your issue for PWA ..

Hi Nicky !
You may use WSS farm Backup-Restore procedure to change URL
When restoring you may set new URL

Hi Vadim, thanks for your reply.

I've tried this and I highly advise anyone here to be very careful. Changing
URLs during restoration is considered a "complex" change and a lot of
database integrity is broken because much of the URL is hardcoded in all the
8 databases.

For example, in Published DB, the table
MSP_WEB_ADMIN.WADMIN_DEFAULT_SITE_COLLECTION contains the word "ABC".

If you update this to "DEF", something else fails.

Besides the restoration only allows user to change "Web application URL"
like from http://SERVERNAME/ to http://NEW-SERVERNAME/ but not from
http://SERVERNAME/ABC to http://SERVERNAME/DEF.
