MySQL
In general, MySQL is not affected by changing an IP address or DNS name. However,
none of the data in the databases is altered when the DNS name or IP address are
changed. You are responsible for replacing references to the DNS name and address
(if used) in your databases.
If you set a database root password, there might be entries in the database GRANT
table (database=mysql, table=user) that refer to the previous server DNS name. In this
case, use Server Admin to reset the root password, which will then reflect the current
server identity.
Server administrators should make sure that MySQL clients that have saved references
to the DNS name of the MySQL Service are updated to reflect any change in the server
identity.
QTSS
The typical default configuration will not need further configuration after changing
the DNS name or IP address of QTSS. If you configured specific IP bindings, change
those to the new address and restart the service. Relays you defined might have
invalid IP addresses after an IP address change.
Wiki
Wiki service remains unaffected by a change in the IP address, assuming Apache is still
functioning and DNS names change.
However, wikis can be configured to specific DNS names. If you manually edited
configuration files to restrict wiki access to DNS names, make the relevant changes in
those files.
Certificates for Web and Wiki Services
Web and wiki servers that use SSL will need new certificates. You might need to
regenerate or repurchase the certificates. You must use Server Admin to import the
new certificates, then configure each service’s, or site’s, new certificate.
