Does anyone know why there is no mention of changing dirroot on this page? --Richard Enison 18:02, 26 December 2007 (CST)

sed line incorrect
I'm completely new here so I don't want to just start coming in and making changes but the sed command for swapping the url in the mysqldump output is incorrect.
Currently it reads:
#sed -e 's/oldserver.com/newserver.com/' oldmysqldump.sql > newmysqldump.sql
This will work but it will only substitute the first instance of newserver.com on each line. It's possible for the mysqldump to leave several instances on a line so you could get an invalid database.
The correct version would be:
#sed -e 's/oldserver.com/newserver.com/g' oldmysqldump.sql > newmysqldump.sql
Note that the -e is not actually necessary with only a single substitution, but it doesn't cause any harm so I've left this unaltered.
Should I go ahead and amend the wiki?
