About this task

Important: If you do not use a proxy and you change the fully qualified host name of the VM, then references to the previous host name must be manually corrected. Some examples of references to the host name:
  • The host name of the service within mobile app source code.
  • Links to MobileFirst Quality Assurance from Rational Team Concert™ work items.
    Tip: : Use the server rename procedure in Rational Team Concert to automatically update links to MobileFirst Quality Assurance within all work items in an on-premises Rational Team Concert project.
  • Links in browser histories, bookmarks, or favorites lists.
  • Links in emails from the MobileFirst Quality Assurance service.

Procedure

  1. Manually change host name. For instructions, see Manually configuring the host name and network.
  2. Edit the local_settings.py file and update any references to the host name. For details on editing the local_settings.py file, see:
  3. Stop and restart Gunicorn to have the change take effect:
    1. To stop Guinicorn, enter sudo service supervisord stop.
