Creating Duplicate Environments
January 08, 2010, 10:09:40 am
Hi,
  We have a CiviCRM/Drupal development environment and are preparing to deploy a production environment.  Is there any documentation - or can anyone tell me how to copy my custom field definitions, contribution pages and other customizations from development to production?

Thanks,
Carole

your best bet would be to copy your development database to the production site (using mysqldump or your favorite mysql toolkit)

we are also working on a set of migration scripts (bin/migrate/{import,export}.php) but they only do custom groups and profile groups for now. We'll plan on extending them over a period of time

I want to move my customizations, but not the actual data.  I'm not familiar with the db structure.  Is there a way to select some specific tables or must I dump the entire db, reload it in the new environment and then purge the data and unwanted customizations?

yes, u'll need to dump entire DB and purge unwanted data

would be great if someone in the community can step up and work on this feature and/or sponsor development of this feature. I think it is a very useful thing to incorporate into civicrm

Is there any update on this migration scripts? I arrived here looking for a way to migrate developments. The post is old so I thought may be they're some news.

Thanks and sorry if I'm not writting where I should (I'm new here).

No. But would make a good beginner project. Any chance you can take a look at it and start work on it

thanx

Maybe in some months but I'm still trying to familiarize myself with CiviCRM.

Thanks to you!
