Changing domainname with subdomain

[fpieters]

Hi there,
I have the following situation. On my server I have 2 accounts.

Account A:
purpose: for the website
domain: newdomain.com and subdomain www.newdomain.com

Account B:
purpose: application
domain: app.olddomain.com

I want to rename the domain in Account B to app.newdomain.com but it is only possible to rename it to www.newdomain.com. As if that domain already exists on the server it isn't possible, and it is not what I want to do.
Anyone knowing the solution how to rename the app.olddomain.com to app.newdomain.com?



Thanks in advance,
Frank

To solve this i created a new app.newdomain.com next to the old domain and copied the files from the old to the new folder from the shell preserving the owner and permissions.
It was som more manual work but it works.
