admin_ip.pl
When your computer system’s IP address changes, you must update the local
Administration Server configuration file and the configuration directory. If you do
not enter the new IP address in these locations, you will not be able to start the
Administration Server.
A Perl script is provided to help you update these two configurations. The script
changes the IP address for an instance of Administration Server in both the
local.conf
file and the configuration directory. The script is called
admin_ip.pl
and is stored in the
serverRoot
/shared/bin
folder.
Usage
To run
admin_ip.pl
:
On UNIX
In the
serverRoot/shared/bin
folder, enter
admin_ip.pl Directory_Manager_DN Directory_Manager_password old_IP
new_IP [port #]
The old IP address is saved in a file called
local.conf.old
.
