AW: [opencms-dev] Changing a Sites Hostname

[Simon Wilks]

Thanks Andreas,

When you say "the page-editor should", does that mean it doesn't at the
moment but it is planned?

I will write a migration tool and post (a link) to it later.

Thanks,

> Mmmm. Is there a better way? Is there any way of forcing the
