Search Again: Re: Help! I''m a newbie... From: andrew Date: Wednesday, May 2, 2001 Time: 9:42:54 am oops, I'm sorry Chris, I thought you were keeping webstar on the old server. Once you do everything else, you'll also need to move Webstar over to the new server, and then you have a couple of options: A) use the Admin tool in QDNS and manually edit each domain with new IP address for the webserver (the "A" record). B) Use an Applescript to batch edit the domains C) Export the domains and edit them manually. If there's only 30 domains then "A" is probably the easiest method. ----- Original Message ----- From: "andrew" <andrew@ardentmicro.com> To: "QuickDNS Talk" <quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 12:35 PM Subject: Re: Help!
