Changing "WebBaseURL"?

We have an RT server that was initially rooled out as a test/evaluation,
using a “WebBaseURL” of http://rt.sub.domain.com.

As these things often do, it’s become “important”. As part of a move to
a new server, I’d like to change the “WebBaseURL” to
http://rt.domain.com, to better reflect its “global” status.

My question is, what impact will this have ? I obviously need to change
the $WebBaseURL value in RT_SiteConfig.pm appropriately and also the
“–url” parts of the procmail recipes that feed mail into rt-mailgate.
Is there anything else ?

If I configure the new webserver to answer to rt.sub.domain.com as well
as rt.domain.com, will that be enough to make any old references from
tickets keep working, or should I do some sort of manual search/replace
through the database to change the existing data ?

It’s only going to have ended up in outgoing mail. You should be all
set.
