script to change server_ip

[mcargile]

We have a client that was moving their vicidial server to a colo where it has a new IP address. Rather than adding it as a new server and adjusting all the phones, remote agents and everything else to use the new ip, I wrote a script to change the server_ip of a server if it gets moved. This will keep all the previous records tied to the new ip.

Here is the issue in the bug tracker for this new feature:

You also need to change the IP in the astguiclient.conf. It is best to do this before running this script, and you have to change the DB's ip in the astguiclient.conf if that has changed as well before running this.

Script already exists for this:
ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl in the bin directory

Well that would probably have been good to know.

It might be a good idea to make the IP address of an established server not an editable text box and instead make a link to a page that allows you to change it by calling the existing script.

might be a good idea, but this is the first I've heard of that being an issue.
