I want to migrate the data from one Plone instance to another. I am new to Plone.
Any URLs or steps for migration are really appreciated.
When you want to move a complete instance, you need to copy over the same data as you would back up.
That means you'll need to copy over:
The Data.fs object storage file
The blobstorage directory
All your customizations and installed packages, beyond Plone.
See the Plone FAQ and Backing up (and restoring) a Plone instance.

I was given a database backup (with filestore), the filestore folder and another folder with the installed modules on that database.
I am expected to restore that backup in Odoo 8 with no more data. So what I did is create the PostgreSQL role who owns the database tables and give it enough permissions (login, createdb, replication). Then I created an Odoo config file. Inside this, I set this new PostgreSQL role in db_user and its password in db_password. I added the path where I stored the filestore in data_dir, and the path of the folder with all the modules in addons_path.
As I was given no launcher file, I copied the OCB folder of other Odoo instance I have and used its odoo.py file to start Odoo.
The new instance seems to run well, but now I have just restored the database, and I get this error:
QWebException: "'HttpRequest' object has no attribute 'endpoint_arguments'" while evaluating
'website.get_alternate_languages(request.httprequest)'
I was googling a lot but I was not able to find anything about it, except for a non-answered question in other forum.
Does anyone know what is this about?
Changes related to this issue were introduced in Odoo on 29 February, 2016 (I mean the following changes: [FIX] website: alternate languages translated URL and [FIX] website: backport of as you can check for now these changes are available in the official Odoo 8.0 code base as well).
So most probably you have used outdated Odoo 8.0 server that do not contain above mentioned fixes. Please update to the latest official Odoo 8.0 and check if the issue still persists. Normally your issue should disappear after the update.
When you move backup databases and you want to restore them later on, make sure you mark the branch and commit point of the server files that you took the backup from. I have taken a look at my local v8 odoo and I can see that the endpoint_arguments variable is initialised upon the creation of a web request (openerp/http.py class WebRequest around line 192.)
You mention though that you are restoring the database on the v8 OCB Odoo. If you navigate their distribution and on commit:
https://github.com/OCA/OCB/commit/3913667396e17075528108ac1031939e6f479ced#diff-5e2f434047c379642786a87195c806f9
you will see that this variable was missing and they have added it. So make sure that you git pull the server file to get that commit.
The root of the issue is that you took a backup from a server that had different codebase than the one you are trying to restore the database to. (The qweb file was searching for a variable that is not there)
Hello I would like to ask how is it possible to migrate VM2 to VM3. I want to update my Joomla site from 2 to 3 and VM to be compatible. I found only that http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/installation-migration-upgrade/198-upgrade-virtuemart-2-to-virtuemart-3.html please help I have many data on VM2 and I don't want to lose it.
this process should be careful, follow my procedures:
Go to official site installed VM Migrator plugin
before you should do all your backup sql in VM2 and VM3 sites
Also what I had done is add another Database called migration_vm2 in my server, and import vm2 sql, this could be avoid the problem and you could query one of table to compare
And for import the users and orders list and products you should use VM Migrator
There are some ways to achieve that. My pattern is mostly like this.
First attempt, update all Joomla components, install VirtueMart 3 via normal installer, install Joomla 3. If that fails:
Second attempt, use Daycounts Migrator and use a fresh J3/VM3 installation on the same server to transfer files and database with the migrator. If that fails:
Third attempt, compare the databases from first attempt or second attempt and export single db tables and import with the changed column names into VM 3 db.
Use a standard template like Protostar in the beginning, change to a new template only after everything else works.
This question is not answered in one answer here, I suggest the VirtueMart forum.
This worked for me. First download the newest VM package from the official site. Note that normally it is a compressed file with core component and AIO component zipped inside, so you will have to extract these first.
Second, in your Joomla 2.5 backend, check Extension Manager > Database tab and do a fix if necessary. Do not forget to do a backup of all your site using Akeeba or similar extensions. Keeping a backup of existing orders is good practice.
Finally, using the Extension Manager installer, upload and install the VM3 core and the AIO after that. Clear cache and check database fixes again if necessary.
Very important: clear your browser's cache to purge preloaded js files and so.
Check your VM3 frontend and backend, you should have all your items, registered shoppers, old orders and so. There can be some styling issues with new classes, also your shopper groups could be misconfigured, correct the prices to be shown... and thats it!
About the migration from J2.5 to J3, having VM3 installed has not been a problem for me so far. Always refresh your web browser cache after a migration in order to eliminate preloaded javascript files that are obsolete, otherwise you could have some problems trying to save menus, articles and so; just clear your cache again and thats it.
I have installed a Joomla site with CF on bluemix.
As you know Joomla as other CMS allows to install components for adding functionalities.
This uploads the php code needed for the component and add additional tables/entries in the Database.
My issue is that when I CF PUSH, the new component script is removed from the joomla folders on bluemix, and the database still contains component's tables/entries.
I guess this is the situation for all CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, Vbulletin, etc..).
How could I get a kind of CF PULL (?) to keep the modified CMS code including the new component locally on the computer side ?
So when i will redo the CF PUSH the installed component will not be erased.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Best regards
Yves
There is no cf pull command in Cloud Foundry. The closest you would have is the cf files app-name command that you can navigate the directory structure of your cloud application and get specific files as needed, but this would be really tedious if you have multiple files to copy to your local computer.
It looks like Joomla fits better with the IBM Containers service in Bluemix. With the IBM Containers you can have an Docker image from Joomla (https://hub.docker.com/_/joomla/) and use persistent Volumes to save your added functionality. You can also use any Bluemix services (like a database) with IBM Containers.
The article below provides more details and step by step instructions to create an IBM Container for Wordpress. You can easily modify it for Joomla:
http://blog.ibmjstart.net/2015/05/22/wordpress-on-bluemix-containers/
When you push an application on a runtime, php Java or whatever, it will restage all the application sources, included what has been configured and modified before through the cms interface, leaving the db databases untouched. And it is for joomla, but also for drupal or WP or any other cms. By this way to achieve what you wish you have 3 options:
- push exactly the filesystem structure you need on Bluemix, including the configuration files and modules to use on it
- use (as suggested above) a container instead of a runtime: anyway also with a container you have to install your cms on an external docker volume, otherwise the cms will be reset every time you restart the container
- use a Bluemix VM
I have built a showcase Magento installation that I am about to deploy public. I'd like to give people backend access but indeed I don't want their changes to stick - not sure how to go about this. What's the best way?
I have seen a Magento showcase somewhere that gave the backend access stating the website will be renewed every 12 hours. So I suppose there is a cron job starting a script that will copy contents of one directory into the other (the public one) every 12 hours?
There are two good solutions:
1. Virtual Machine
Run the entire site in a virtual machine or VPS. Make a snapshot of the machine when it is in the state you want to reset it to. Have a cronjob that triggers the "return to snapshot" routine. The exact details vary between hosts but look for a host with an API.
2. File Copy and DB Reset
Keep a copy of all the files in another folder, together with a dump of the database. You can use mysqldump to create a database dump. You can then go back to that state by having a cronjob that removes the current folder, copies back the old folder and imports the database dump.
There are a few ways to import the database dump file, including the SOURCE command:
SOURCE dumpfile.sql;
Does anyone know about this problem: Any new fields I add work fine in the local back office, but when I use Webmatrix to publish to the server (discountASP.net) fields don't show up. I did a view source in the browser and they're just not there!
For example, #Umbraco.Field("comments")
Thanks!
Daniel
If you add new field, they are only added in the database. That means you would need to update the database on the production website. Webmatrix doesn't do this for you (by default).
There are a few ways to handle this scenario:
copy your database to the production server (i would advice against this, because you might overwrite content and media changes on the production server)
create the fields manually on the production server (easy solution)
use a commercial package like courrier (personally i believe it's a good solution, only if you have a content staging workflow)
use a free package like usync (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usync)
