Keep data folder to another installation

[stephen zambaux，修改在9 年前。]

Hi,

We distribute our products with Liferay. We performed a silent installation, but the first startup time is too long. Is-it possible to bundle Liferay with some jobs already done? For example, keeping the data directory or the temp directory and tomcat work? Or distribute it with a pre-connected database?


Thank you

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on tv...

That said, I don't think you can distribute Liferay at all...

What you can do to speed up the first startup is restoring a backup of a newly configured liferay.
This will considerably reduce the required time.
You can check how we do it for the Viking-shell here:
https://github.com/digitalgeko/viking-shell

The shell creates for every project a clean liferay installation.

Thank you for your answer, in which part of your project are you doing backup and restore?

If you download the viking-sell you'll see that when you execute the command new-project it will create a full development environment for you.
A Liferay install, a directory for your portlet and a directory for your theme.
When it installs Liferay a backup from a fresh Liferay installation is restored. This makes Liferay's first start a lot faster.
You can check the code of the 'restoreDatabase' method of the class https://github.com/digitalgeko/viking-shell/blob/master/src/main/groovy/org/viking/shell/commands/VikingCommands.groovy

Hope it helps!

HI, Is it possible to export users and organizations by using mysql dump? I Tried and I can't find my users in my new Liferay instance.

Thank you
