Kristoffer Karlsson	Monday 05 March 2007 6:42:04 am Hi! I would like to make a local copy of my site for testing purposes. I have installed ezPublish ver. 3.8 on my local computer (which is the version I use for my site). What folders do I have to copy from the server to get my site running on my local computer? I hope someone can help me with this or maybe give me a link to a topic in the forum that explains how to do this. _____________________________________ Blog: http://www.kristofferkarlsson.com Website: http://www.spelkanalen.com
Michael Maclean	Monday 05 March 2007 7:00:08 am The easiest thing to do would be to copy the entire site from the server, along with the contents of the database. Then, import the database on your own machine, and edit all the site.ini.append.php files under settings/siteaccess/ to match the database information for your machine. If you want to know anyway, the important folders are probably var (it's a good idea to clear the cache before you download this one), settings/override, settings/siteaccess, design/, and perhaps extension/ if you have any extensions enabled on your site. Doing it in bits like this though is more likely to go wrong, so just download everything - it'll be far simpler. eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org

Xavier Dutoit	Monday 05 March 2007 9:15:31 am If you have to copy between the prod and the dev and the otherway around on a regular basis (eg once you've updated your local design and want to put in in production), rsync comes very handy. X+ P.S. If I'm right, it only works on modern operating systems (proselytism intended ;) http://www.sydesy.com
Heath	Monday 05 March 2007 5:24:47 pm While a more advanced topic of discussion might include the tools and configuration to doing this on a more repeatable basis ... and examples. I did notice today a set of additions to the ezsvn extension. Which while an uncommented commit, it clearly shows added improvements for win32 systems to use ezsvn and rsync to mirror an installation. <i>http://pubsvn.ez.no/websvn/listing.php?repname=community&path=%2F&rev=1536&sc=1</i> hth Brookins Consulting \| http://brookinsconsulting.com/ Certified \| http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/380350 Solutions \| http://projects.ez.no/users/community/brookins_consulting eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org
