MOSS 2007 Rename the Web Application Name

I want to share how to rename the web application name in command line administration of MOSS 2007 using STSADM Command.

Syntax:
stsadm -o renameweb -url -newname

Example:
Stsadm -o renameweb -url http://localhost/oldname -newname newname

The above command will rename the web application from oldname to the newname.

I tried to rename a web application from http://sharepoint to intranet using the command suggested but received the following error.

Cannot move the root web of a site
collection.

Any suggestions?
