I'd like to finally! get going and migrate my Stack Exchange 1.0 site to OSQA. I setup a beta site that's running on OSQA, and I would like to:
What's the best path to achieve this? Is there a complete "export/import config only" feature? Has anyone tested it? |

You can just backup the forum_keyvalue table, and restore it after the second import. That's totally fine. Thanks, I converted your comment to an answer. Will test it and see if it works.

cool, that looks really nice - it really does look like all config values are in that one table; and that nothing else is. Hurray!

As you know, any changes you made to a custom theme, or tweaks to the source, would be easy to move to a live site: just copy the files over. Or, even better, track your changes in a source-code manager such as Mercurial or Git, and apply the changes to the latest trunk when you go live. And that goes for the settings_local.py file too. As for changes that are stored in the database, I guess the easiest / quickest/ dirtiest way, would be to print off copies of your admin screens when you're happy with the beta, and then enter them onto your live site. Not pretty, but it will work without any coding, and you're guaranteed that it won't cause any internal consistencies in the database. And you'll have a permanent paper backup of your config, should you ever need it. |
