From developing to exploitation

[Javier Solana, modificado hace 9 años.]

Hi all, maybe this is a silly question, but I couldn't find an answer...

We have been developing a Liferay application over Tomcat, and now that it is tested and working, we want to put it in a real exploitation server.

How can I do this?

If I copy/paste the tomcat folder and backup the MySQL database will work?

Thanks!

Hi javier,
It will work if you are copying into same paths and folders,same user properties and settings.backup for MySQL will be fine.don't forget copying resource ,repository folders.

HI
Just tomcat server and data base is not enough we need to also consider the data folder which is along with tomacat server means in liferay home direcotry.

you may try like this

take back up existed database and import into productin database.

create new portal server for real production server ,copy all files from existed data folder and place in new server data folder and deploy all portlet/hook/theme war files means place all war files in server auto deploy directory.

It sounds like you're not yet taking backups. IMHO it makes sense to start this as early as possible. If you ask me, you're only allowed to name something a "Backup" if you've demonstrated that you can create a new server from this data. Testing this will quickly lead you to missing items. You'll also want to read the chapter on backup in the User's guide. Granted, it's a bit short, but it gives important pointers.
