how to reinstall website when the name of the website changed.

[A Leon]

I recently had to use my webspace to create a new website and deleted at
that moment the old website.
Now I would like to put the old site again on the web, parralel with the new
site.
The problem is that i am only allowed one alias with skynet belgium :
The new site is www.users.skynet.be/xxx
and the old site was :
www.users.skynet.be/yyy

Which means that I would have to create

www.users.skynet.be/xxx/yyy
to put the old site in the new webspace.

That would involve changing all the links in all documents.

Can I avoid this in any way ? Or can this be done automatically by some
specialised software

I have a "Teleport" copy of my old website and also a directory where all
the the files of the old website are gathered.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That's why you always make sure you have *relative* links in your web site.
If this is the case, then you dont need to do anything.

If it's not the case, then inside DreamWeaver you can do a search and
replace on all your files looking for incorrect paths and change them... you
can make them relative at the same time to avoid this newbie mistake in the
future

Or get your own domain in the first place. ;-)

You can also do this in any text editor if you don't have
Dreamweaver... (which I myself use also ) Even notepad
can do this for you. Just use 'Find and Replace'.

I just felt I had to mention that since the OP didn't say
they were using DW.

Thanks for all the reactions.
I indeed used Find and Replace in Word
and the job is done .... but other jobs are not done as this was very time
consuming.
I tried to download Dreamweaver but not one of the download sites
initialised the downloading proces. I have no idea why.
Thks once more for the kind help.
