Hello MapGuide Open Source Users,
<BR>
To backup MapGuide Server, do you see any issues if I copy the Repositories directory? Then if I have problems, just restore that directory?
<BR>
This is the steps I'm plan on doing:
<BR>
<H4>How to backup the Resources Database</H4>
<UL>
<LI>Step 0: confirm the path to the resources
<UL>
<LI>Login to MapGuide Site Administrator
(http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php)
<LI>on the left hand frame, under Manage Servers, click Configure Services
<LI>Under the Resource Service heading, note the path for
<UL>
<LI>Library data file folder
<LI>Library repository folder
<LI>Session data file folder
<LI>Session repository folder
<LI>Site repository folder
</UL>
<LI>Installation default is to put all these folders under the
C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories directory
</UL>
<LI>Step 1: Stop the MapGuide Server Service
(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> MapGuide Server v2.0)
<LI>Step 2: copy/backup or paste/restore the
C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories directory
<UL>
<LI>Change the directory if different from Step 0
</UL>
<LI>Step 3: Start the MapGuide Server Service
(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> MapGuide Server v2.0)
<LI>Notes
<UL>
<LI>This will overwrite any changes to the User accounts as well
<LI>This will backup/restore the Session Repository/Storage Container
<LI>This will backup/restore the Library Repository/Storage Container
<LI>This will backup/restore the Resource Data/Data Files (e.g. shp, sdf, ...)
</UL>
</UL>
<BR>
Thanks for the help,
<BR>

Thanks everyone for the help. I had a bad directory name, and it really
helped that Andy mentioned the MG Service won't start if this happens.

This brings up another point some people may not be aware of: if you
mess up one of the paths in Admin and then restart the service, it will
fail to start. To fix this, your only option is to manually edit the
\Server\Bin\serverconfig.ini file (something Jason originally pointed
out to me).

Yeah.
Personally, I find it "feels better" to stop the service, change the
config file manually, and then restart the service. I hate changing
something when it's running and responding to requests, etc.

If you make changes to your repository path in Web Admin you need to
stop and restart the server service.
