How to rename the web site?

>>I have a new installation of Sharepoint. Before we start using it, I would like the site to be more meaningful than http://server08/site.>>I would like to change the name so that is is something like http://mysite/site.

Answer:
There are several ways of how to rename Web Site. You can use stsadm -o renameweb command. More details are in MSDN article. But this command does't help you if you want to rename the site with the port. For example if you have http://server08:88/site and want to rename it to new name with the default port then the best way is to create the new site, and then use stsadm -o export/import to move the content between sites.

Example
The following example uses the following site: http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name.
To rename a URL using the newname parameter, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o renameweb -url http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name -newname NewWeb
The URL of the subsite would become http://server_name/sites/site_name/NewWeb.
