Hi,
$work (a school district) purchased a CMS/website black box hardware
solution 5 years ago from $oldvendor. The solution stores everything in
a mysql database, has a bad frontend to make changes, and runs our main
website along with 30 smaller sites. We have purchased a new hosted
solution from $newvendor and are now looking for options/caveats on
migrating where $oldvendor is not willing to provide us access to the
database and black box hardware. In addition folks want to move the
main site this summer and move the secondary (school sites) later one by
one. Problems that I have are:
1. best way to move part of domain.com while not moving the rest of
domain.com and figuring out a way to make this as transparent as
possible to the end users.
2. best way to move a site where you do not have access to the site
other than wget.
Ideas I have so far is to use wget to create a static site that I can
control and change links on so we pages move to the new site I can point
to them. Other idea is perhaps to use redirects, but I am not sure they
could be used to redirect each page on the site.
Are there any tools for doing this sort of thing?
Thanks very much for your ideas and things I should watch out for.
cheers,
ski
