Web site in new folder

cats_five · 30 Mar 2015 at 15:05

I've downloaded the website we plan to replace with a Wordpress one into a folder 'old' under /var/www, but there are lots of ways it's broken because it's no longer in /var/www.

This is on Debian using Apache2 & PHP5. The .conf files are splattered all over the place.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Hopeing to find a solution that doesn't involve editing every damn file as this is the old site, don't want to spend much time on it...

Yes, you are right, the links are prefixed with '/'. Will have a think about it - using vi might make possible to alter, of course it might all fall apart bigstyle!

I can do a mass find & replace with vi but as you say it's error-prone., and there are nearly 100 page / PHP pages to deal with. A little editing has improved it possibly to the degree needed, but I'll look into a sub-domain, thanks for the suggestion. It's a pain but the website was written several years back so maybe that's part of the problem.

I did it myself!

Thanks for the offer though. Also had to tweak Apache to run php embedded in htm files.
