Topic: Drupal / migration problem from stack to live site

Hi,

Yes this helps, it is good to know how to execute those commands, thanks. In this case I was lucky that rebuilding was relatively easy.

On a general note: I don’t know if I had a particular issue in my Drupal stack or if this is a general thing but is it normal that a db size grows so fast with only few entries? I had about 20 nodes in the stack and already at a 700 mb ibdata1 file.

Small update: I realised yesterday it’s faster to rebuild the site on the live server than solve this db problem (fortunately there was little content).

Topic: Drupal / migration problem from stack to live site

Thanks again! I took a look but could not figure out where to put the shell commands for mysqldump (I am on a Mac and the command is not recognised in terminal after starting up mysql and apache on my MacBook). To be honest: I am new to this kind of operation so learning here..
Anyway, after more searching I also found a Drupal ‘backup and migrate’ module. I made a backup with that but there is one problem: the ibdata1 file I have is more than 700 MB. Is there a way in the stack to rebuild the database and put a limit on the size? (This is related to a previous question I asked on this forum but I haven’t managed to sort it out yet).

Thanks,

Hi Beltran,

Thanks for your quick answer. I have not restored the database on the server, could you tell me how I can do that?

Topic: Drupal / migration problem from stack to live site

Hello,

I have an issue with migrating a stack and getting it to run correctly on the server.

Our IT Dept has created a server and I have moved the contents of the apps/drupal/htdocs folder in the stack to the server. Following that I modified the settings.php file in /sites/default so that all details are correct (dbname etc). The site is recognised but what I get when I visit the URL is a standard Drupal welcome screen. I can see that modules I added in /sites/all/modules are in the installation and my custom theme as well. But it seems as if I have to set up everything again and no content is available that was on my stack.

Any thoughts on what I am missing highly appreciated,
thanks,
Gerben

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Topic: Drupal / Mysql issue: growing ibdata1 file

This file is growing pretty fast in my stack (6.3). I wonder how I can prevent it from auto-extending? Editing the my.cnf file and inserting “skip-innodb” doesn’t do the trick, I get a start up error.

I have little knowledge of mysql but apparently it can be set up so that this does not occur. I wonder how that would work on Drupal?

All best,

Topic: Drupal / Access Drupal stack on Mac via external pc on local network

Ah bingo! Thanks! It was a combination of typing the address with the corredt port and disabling the firewal.

Thanks for the quick help,

Topic: Drupal / Access Drupal stack on Mac via external pc on local network

Yes but webserver is allowed and i just disabled to test, no difference.
To be clear: I have the stack in my applications folder at the moment.

Topic: Drupal / Access Drupal stack on Mac via external pc on local network

Hi,

Thanks! But if I do that I still cannot access the stack. Should I use this: http://localnetworkIP/drupal ? Or something else?
I can get access to the webserver but connectong through to Drupal is the problem. Or should I put the stack in my /username/website folder?

Any help appreciated,

Ok, it works now, one ”$” too much apparently… Thanks!

Topic: DokuWiki / starting on a Mac

Hi Antonio,

Thanks. I am half-way there: changing to the installation directory is no problem. But nothing happens after I use ”$ ./ctlscript.sh start”. I get no message…

Topic: DokuWiki / starting on a Mac

I have just read the help info coming with the stack, and on the site, but can’t find the answer to this for a Mac. Each time I start up the computer and try to access the wiki (http://127.0.0.1:8080/dokuwiki) I get an error saying no connection can be made with the server. I assume Apache needs to be started up first? But how to do that on a Mac.

Thanks,
Gerben

Topic: DokuWiki / installing templates

Thanks! I was too fast asking, sorry.

Topic: DokuWiki / installing templates

Hello,

Is it possible to use other templates than the default one comng with Bitnami-Dokuwiki? The option seems to be greyed out.
This would be the one thing I really look for, for the rest I wish I had found Bitnami earlier!

Best,
Gerben
