<div>Hi!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well, I assume that you don't need fresh data all the time, so database </div>
<div>could be imported once, and occasionally re-imported.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have git initialized in ~/archives/ARCHIVE_NAME/ directory</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In .gitignore</div>
<div>--</div>
<div>var/</div>
<div>documents/</div>
<div>html/</div>
<div>cfg/cfg.d/10_core.pl</div>
<div>cfg/cfg.d/20_baseurls.pl</div>
<div>cfg/cfg.d/database.pl</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And those cfg.d files copied eg. 10_core.pl.dist etc..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So we can keep different environments for dev and prod.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, there is a central repository (bitbucket) and we are pushing and </div>
<div>pulling :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are still testing it so if someone has a tip please comment :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>

<div>Okay, so I can get as far as step 7 – now, I’m running this from the</div>

<div>Thanks Adam – step 11 is pretty much why I’m doing this JI did have a</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) install a fresh copy of EPrints and configure it to work on the dev</div>
<div>server (to make sure all prerequisites are ship-shape). It'll make</div>
<div>things simpler if you use the same database name, username and password</div>
<div>as the live repository. Test that you can raise it in a browser, log</div>
<div>in, create a record, etc. There's a training video for this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Dump the live database into the EPrint tree somewhere (perhaps</div>
<div><eprints_root>/archives/<foo>/db_dump/<timestamped_filename>.mysqldump)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) Create an tarball of the EPrints tree (tar cvzf</div>
<div>live_eprints<datestamp>.tar.gz <eprints_root>)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4) Copy the tarball to dev</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) tar xvzf the file to somewhere appropriate, check file permissions</div>
<div>for the apache user on dev</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6) undump the database dump (cat filename | mysql -u username -p) --</div>
<div>easy if you have used the same username and password as all the</div>
<div>permissions are set up. Still easy if you didn't and know how to create</div>
<div>users and set permissions in mysql.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>7) edit the 10_core.pl file in the archive directory to use the URL of</div>
<div>the dev server. Then run generate apacheconf (I think with the</div>
<div>--replace flag, but that's from memory).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>8) Change your apache configuration to point to where you unpacked the</div>
<div>eprint tree.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>9) restart apache.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>10) Debug the above process and document it on the wiki.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>11) Think about getting your repository into source control to make this</div>
<div>easier.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m trying to bring our live EPrints install over to a staging server to</div>
<div>do some work on it, but I’m struggling to do this in an elegant way.</div>
<div>What’s the best approach? I tried bringing the archive files down and</div>
<div>repopulating the database; there are also a few core changes to our</div>
<div>install in Perl-Lib which need bringing down however most times I pull</div>
<div>all these across and restart apache it screws things over. I’m pretty</div>
<div>sure I need to tweak some config settings and possibly run a few things</div>
<div>from the command line but I was wondering if anyone could digest the</div>
<div>procedure for me or point me in the direction of one if it’s already</div>
<div>been written!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers!</div>
<div><br>
