aarif ahmed	Sunday 15 February 2004 2:53:40 am I am looking for some help/ document to refresh my test env with dev. I have ez 3.3.2 installed on redhat and mysql. dev has more content uploaded to it. i exported db and imported into test db, copied over var, design and settings dir to test and changed every occurence of dev1 (source) to test (destination) but i m not able to display the url. either it can not establish connection to db or wont display any page at all. can someone please me point me to a doc which has all the instructions for achieving this task. Also I m intersted in learning what files I need to backup besides db to have a full back up of my content and settings. Also how to upgrade to newer version of ez without losing the content> Appreciate your help with these questions.
Marco Zinn	Sunday 15 February 2004 5:46:35 am I don't, know, if i understood you correctly. You have a development site (not in production) running 3.3-2 and want to update this to 3.3-3 with all data? In that case, i suggest, that you just download and extract the new distribution (overwriting all PHP files etc) and run the DB upgrade script from 3.3-2 to 3.3-3 More info here: (2 sub-chapters, one has duplicate text) http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/backup_restore For BACKUP, i suggest, that you store the complete ezRoot-directory recursivly (usually .../htdocs/<ezdir>) and the Database you use. As soon as you use ezPublish a lot, your data (in var/storage) will be larger then those PHP files ;) What you NEED to save is /design/* /var/storage/* or /var/<siteaccessname>/storage/* /settings/override/* /settings/siteaccess/* and of course, your Database.
