Hi
I have a domino database driven website. I need to move this to a hosting server that does not support domino. Is there a way of conveting this to another format or to static html?

There are webwacker utilities.or (if it is suitable)
Write LS some code to traverse the whole database(s) being presented.
Look into “URLDownloadToFile” & some Internet Explorer options along this line:
ie.navigate url
Do While ie.busy
Doevents
Loop
body = ie.document.body.outerHTML
(Here “body” contains the web page from “<body” through “</body”)
Then process as needed.

Glen,
I’m not sure if there are any tools to do this, but assuming that all the content is static (or you are going to take a snapshot of current), you could write a pretty simple Java Agent to traverse all the html pages and stream them out to a file. The trick is recognizing links and getting a handle to that URL.
A simple method that might give you a good start vs doing it totally manually is what I would do to “borrow” the HTML of sites I really liked. Go to the entry page of the site and use Internet Explorers “Offline” functionality. It lets you specify how many levels deep you want to go and will travers the site pulling down all the HTML, images, etc. I haven’t done this in a long while, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Then if I recall, you just find the directory and copy out all the files. I believe it adds in some to the file names which would need to be cleaned up.
Might take some tweaking, but sure beats manual reproduction.
