wouldn't just correct change of announce url in torrent suffice?
by correct i mean bdecoding, changing and bencoding after that...
(it shouldn't change info_hash, so only the torrent files would need change, am i right?)

if that's so then Ultima's editor could come in handy... (or you could try to write your script that would open every torrent, change announce and save it again)

you could do that but as stated all uploaders and downloaders would need to replace there torrents
and then there is the fact of changing the annouce in the database how would you change this?

yes everyone would have to download all torrents again, but you would have all torrents, descriptions and comments intact...

in database? you would only need to change siteurl, cookiedomain and cookiepath in config table or no?

Why do you have to change your tracker URL anyway? why can't you just keep your old URL and set the DNS to your new server's IP?

If you can't change the DNS, you can still keep the old space and put a redirect in place (with htaccess or so).

thanks a lot, i'm going to try this.

it's not a problem if all people have to download again there torrent, but i doesn't want to remake all the torrent upload post.

because my current url is www.trackerv2.elite-t3am.fr and i want to put the tracker on the domaine www.elite-t3am.fr i thinks it's more "friendly"

i switched URLs too about a year ago -- what i did was to keep the old URL and point it to some free webspace i had. all i have in that webspace is a .htaccess file that redirects all traffic to the new URL. announce should be cool with that too.

so in case the server configuration allows it, just create a file named .htaccess in the document root (for trackerv2.elite-t3am.fr), and put the following in it:

Redirect 301 / http://www.elite-t3am.fr/


That will redirect all traffic to your new URL, and you won't have to have everybody re-download torrents or anything (which is a problem when torrents are picked up by other sites with spiders, like isohunt does).
