Help with college project - migrating site

Tuesday 27 September 2005 11:10:32 am

Hi,
I have installed eZ publish on my windows PC at home, designed a site, and now I would like to migrate it all onto a laptop for a college presentation.

I have installed eZ in on the laptop.
I was told to copy the VAR folder.

I get the setup page, when I want the existing site.
(http://localhost/shop_admin)

A basic guide for a noob would be great.
Thanks in advance.

DO this

Old server
-Database:
Mysqldump --opt -u root -p yourdatabase > yourdatabasename.dump

-Files
Go to ezpublish dir
tar -cpzf ezpublish.tar.gz *

New server (laptop)
I presume you have apache and mysql installed

-Database
Mysql -u root -p
create database ezpublish;
grant all on ezpublish.* to youruser@localhost identified by 'yourpassword';
exit

mysql -u youruser -p ezpublish < yourdatabasename.dump

-Files
Create dir ezpublishsometing
Enter dir
Tar zxvf ezpublish.tar.gz

If you have permission problems try this
Chmod -R 777 var/ design/ setting/
