Topic: Need to be able to make a site copy

Hi,

I'd like to make a complete copy of a FA install - I've copied the database and the files - changed the database settings in config_db.php but I'm getting the error:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'application' not found in /home/frontacc2/public_html/applications/customers.php on line 13

Any pointers gratefully received.

Re: Need to be able to make a site copy

To reply to my own post...

It needed a restart of Apache to enable the copy site to work without the error.

For reference here's my script which makes a copy of a site - I'll try to find somewhere on the wiki where it might be useful.

NB - The server runs Apache ITK so all files are owned by a single user.

#!/bin/bash

# copy_accounts_to_accounts2

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This will take a copy of the live Open Atrium site and copy it to a training copy.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Logging setup
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# These lines have been copied from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3173131/redirect-copy-of-stdout-to-log-file-from-within-bash-script-itself
# and will send the script output to a log file.
##mkdir -p /var/backups/sbin
##mkdir -p ~/logs/pullpush
##DATE_TIME=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
##logfile=~/logs/pullpush/pulldevfrombeta_${DATE_TIME}.log
##mkfifo ${logfile}.pipe
##tee < ${logfile}.pipe $logfile &
##exec &> ${logfile}.pipe
##rm ${logfile}.pipe

DATE_TIME=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
