Having a problem with my Open Public installation. Database successfully installed but this database is coming from an old host to my new host so some paths are now different. How to I update the database to reflect the new path?
Is there a module to accomplish this?
This is an already done website and I no longer have access to the old host.
Thanks

@drdave17 Are you referring
@drdave17 Are you referring to the links on the pages of your site? Unfortunately, from my knowledge if they are absolute links then you will need to go in and make those adjustments by hand. For me, I generally try and keep all internal links as relative so that I don't run into this error when I adjust URLs, etc.
Does this answer your question?

I don't think Drupal
I don't think Drupal currently has something like that. If all your links are relative, simply moving the site over, changing the database config and updating the website URL should take care of most of the issues. However, in order to change any absolute URLs you will have to run a SQL Command in a tool like PHPMyAdmin or the Command Line to update bulk URLs.
