Re: [Hypercontent-users] Moving Server/Portal

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	The two things to make doubly sure of when you're moving the files are 
paths and permissions; if the files will be moving to different 
directories on the production server, you may need to adjust the paths 
in your project definitions.  If you can keep all the paths the same, 
that won't be an issue.  With permissions, you need to be certain that 
the UID under which the portal runs will have full read/write access to 
the repository files, and that the process has the appropriate umask 
for creating new files with the right permissions.
	As I have mentioned before, it's worth considering hosting the 
repositories on a file server - if you have more than one portal 
server, this is an especially good idea, so each server has the same 
repository filesystem mounted.  If you've just got one production 
portal server, you can get by with using its internal disk, just make 
sure you back it up regularly.
	Those caveats aside, tarring up the files and moving them over seems 
like a fine approach.  Good luck!
