Help:Synchronizing Test-Wiki Database Against Main

From Textpattern CMS User Documentation

Since the Test-Wiki is used for testing wiki upgrades, modifications and extensions prior to such implementations at TextBook main, it's useful to parallel the Test-Wiki content with that of main every once in a while, particularly just before testing.

An easy way to do this is to copy main's database to test-wiki's via phpmyadmin.

Process

You will need to know the names of the two databases, which as admins you should, as they are not named here.

In phpmyadmin:

  1. Select main's database from list.
  2. Go to Operations.
  3. Scroll down to Copy Database to:.
  4. Enter name of Test-Wiki's database as the one to copy to.
  5. Leave structure and data selected.
  6. Uncheck CREATE DATABASE before copying since the database already exists.
  7. Check Add DROP TABLE / DROP VIEW or else it will fail!

That's it.
