Hi guys
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Well for me it was a bit of a nightmare. I have a bnit of a problem and I
was hopeing that someone who has encountered this specific type of proble
could help
THE PROBLEM
The problem is that I am currently in the process of switching web servers.
(Going with apache) Now the problem is that all the web pages have server
specific tags in the html. These do not work under apache and I don't want
them to either. Now what I want to do is one of the following:
1. I could leave the specifc tags alone and just write in my own (in this
case I am call a ssi <!--#exec cmd="/path/to/command"--> that would be fine
except I need to delete one line from all the files and add the above ssi
tag. How do i do this with with a web site that has about 10,000 to 35,000
documents.
2. Edit all by hand and kill myself my dog and my pet turtle (BTW if anyone
has any advice on turtles it would be much appreciated.)
So you see my prob. I could get away with the server specific tags and
include the above ssi but I need to delete the one line of a table otherwise
allignments would feck up and it would look a mess.
I have tried a few scripts I wrote but I am not v. good at scripting more on
the design side if you know what I mean! They have worked but not well
enough.
Does anyone have an answer? How do larg ISP's update large corporate sites
in a matter of min once all the designs have been done? i presume they use a
script.
Anyhow if anyone can hel it really would save my sanity and my life as using
vi or pico to copy and past the one line of html can be head wreaking
Thanks
