I have to update, add and fix a drupal website.
The website is on a live working server and i have full access to everything.
Drupal version is: Drupal 6.22, 2011-05-25
I want to make a copy on my machine (win7+iis+(any php needed)) to be able to change and test my updates without touching the server.
I already copied the project folder and i found the database file.
The Database is odb file.
Download whole database. You can use drush or Backup_migrate. Then setup a fresh drupal system and inject the whole database there.
As I fortunately never used Windows, unfortunately I can't give you OS specific details. But xampp or similar solutions are there.
Get the backup of your project files folder and databse from c panel or from the server folders and SQL command prompt
Then install wamp or xampp in your local system place project folder in c:/wamp/www folder and create a database in phpMyAdmin and import database with db backup file.
Then run your project as localhost/YouProjectFolder in browser
config the default.ini the site folder and you all set

Thank you everyone in advance... ^^;
My manager asked me to migrate the installed OpenAM (already used) to another machine (newly obtained).
I tried to migrate it by file level.
(.openamcfg folder, openam folder, tomcat whole folder, ...)
But, after file migration... first access to /openam, it showed initial page(wizard) again. (no using installed configurations)
So, I should do first step. (amadmin password setting, and so on...)
Hmm... Is there any solution for pre-installed OpenAm instance migration?
If No, I can tell her there's no migration way.
Migrating the files should be enough, however you must make sure that :
The .openamcfg folder is in Tomcat's home folder
The file inside the .openamcfg folder contains a valid path to the openam folder
The .openamcfg and openam folders can be read/write by the user who runs the Tomcat service
The webapp context (the part of the URL after the server's IP address, typically /openam) stays the same
Also, when you copy the files, you must first properly stop the Tomcat service, especially if you use OpenAM's embedded datastore.
I'd like to do some changes to a modx revo install through a staging subdomain, with a separate database. What's the easiest way of doing this? I've been battling with this for two days.
I'm trying a new install now and replacing content, components and database content
I end up moving/duplicating MODX sites between live and staging subdomains several times per week. Here's how I do it.
MySQL
Create a new blank staging database
Make sure you MySQL user can access the new databse
Export/Backup your live database
Import the backup to your new/staging database
Files
Download the matching version of MODX from http://modx.com/download/previous-releases/ because you'll need the /setup/ directory (hopefully you didn't leave that on your server previously).
Copy the entire content of the 'public_html or 'www' folder over to the staging subdomain folder. Don't forget the .htaccess file which is sometimes hidden.
Upload the setup folder to your staging location on your server just like it would be found in a clean MODX install.
Update the three config.core.php files from the top directory, /connectors/, and /manager/ to update the "MODX_CORE_PATH" to the correct directory for staging.
Update the 'core/config/config.inc.php' file. You'll need to update the database details and every instance of your directory structure to match the new staging location.
Run Setup
Run by going to staging.domain.com/setup
If you get ant errors during setup it probably means that you missed something that needed updating in one of the inc.php files.
It's actually very similar to moving the site from one server to another except duplicating to a subdomain on the same server instead. MODX has instructions for moving to a new server at http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/moving-your-site-to-a-new-server
There is another method to solve this problem.
Create new database & user for your sub site.
There is nice github repo. There you can find MODX install script which runs via cli. You'll get a new installed version of MODX in the end.
Install Vapor package from official repo to your old site. Then run vapor script from it via cli. It creates a new package with your whole site dump (You should check dependencies for xpdo objects in this script. For ex. you can copy all the stuff except users or anything else).
After all copy new package to core/packages at new site and install it.
Dump is ready :)
I downloaded Liferay files from a livesite to setup a local environment for some local development. After downloading the files, I run the the catalina file (./catalina.sh start) But unfortunately I got a 404 error.
I'm not sure where to start in setting up Liferay locally.
I think there are some initial settings that I should be doing as I had moved from live server to a local machine.
I think I need to also connect my database. I now have a local copy of the database and is already imported on MySQL. I just need to connect them (im guessing entering my user and password for the database).
Other than downloading the files and starting up the server, I really haven't done anything else yet as I am not sure what setting and configuration I should be doing.
I'm new to Liferay, I apologize for my silliness.
Edit
my portal-ide.properties settings:
See portal-ext.properties or someelse *.properties file in the root folder of portal.
For error details, see the log file at liferay/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
I have live website running on MODx Revolution 2.1.3pl. Some days back I had to restore my entire site from backup. This messed up some file ownerships (for packages installed and images uploaded etc.) because in my server PHP runs as 'nobody' user which is different from my cPanel user.
Now I can't change much things on the server(like installing suPHP because its a shared server) and I don't know which all files are created by PHP, I decided to wipe the site clean and perform a clean install. My site has a large number of already published resources which is impossible to be posted into the new site individually.
Is there any way that I can transfer those resources to the new installation?
Why don't you create a mysql dump of your old site (with phpmyadmin or the like) and import this into a new database, which you use to run your new site from?
I've not tried it myself but provisioner seems to do (or at least claim to) what you need.
I recently upgraded to apex 4.0.1
but when I access 127.0.0.1:8080/apex and login it the page doesn't respong
and another thing ... the page is supposed to have some photos but it doesn't appear
so when I view the source code of the page and open any of the JS files / photos directories / css files
I get this
404 Not found
Not found
The requested URL /i/css/apex_4_0.css was not found on this server
I have ubuntu 11.04
There's two steps to the upgrade. The first is (mostly) installing the APEX_040000 objects. The second uploads a bunch of files into the database.
Make sure you carried out the second step correctly as documented
It is two steps because, if you are using the Oracle Apex Listener or HTTP Server then you'd put those files on a file system somewhere, rather than in the database.
It sounds like your config file is messed up in some way. Check the configuration to verify that it is directing traffic on port 8080 to the correct directory. Here is a link to how to find the Apache config file and how to read it:

The only other thing I can think of is that the directory does not exist. Maybe it got deleted or moved.
