I have a small old drupal site installed as an application. I want to swap it out with a new version of drupal. I do not want to go through the drupal upgrade process, I want to install brand new drupal in a new webfaction application. I will manually import data. However this is a live site so I want to install the new version of drupal into a new app, get it all setup and running using a temp subdomain, e.g. mysite.mysusername.webfactional.com, and then switch it to be live. This should be fine but the part I'm not clear about is the webfaction app names. My app is currently installed in a webapp such as: mysite So I will install new app in for example: mysite_new However, once the transition is done, I'd like to rename the new version back to just mysite (and probably rename the old app to mysite_old). I found this old post from 2009 where you say it's on your to do list: Possible to rename an application? How can I do this? asked 24 Nov '11, 13:52 user |

Hello, looking for the same thing, wandering if this has been made somehow possible, or maybe going through shell? Thanks answered 27 Nov '12, 03:09 tecnomeme The procedure described above still has not changed. There is not currently a way to rename an application.

Any plans to make this possible from the front end now that it's 2017? I made a website and now want to make a new version so I would love to rename the old one website_old but seems this is not easy to do. answered 07 May '17, 03:24 wesyah234 |
