Help on DR

[Alexis Marett, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Hello,

I need some help with Liferay Version 5.1

Last week the Liferay install we had running stopped working. I managed to get the server up and running again by copying the bin folder and launched the startup.bat

My manager asked me to see if we can recover the server/application in case of DR

I backed up the MySQL database and copy the Liferay folder to a external hard disk. then built a new server install MySQL and recovered the database I then copied the liferay folder to the same location on the server, and started startup.bat, all looked good, when I went in to the one of the document libraries to see if I could get a document, I clicked on of the links one to say the file in not available.

Does anyone have any idea why none of the documents are available?

check your jackrabbit definition, by default it is file-system based. If that's the case, you should be copying the jackrabbit/ directory as well.
It is better if you make it DB-based, so your synchronization with DR will consist of moving 2 database copies only..

That worked :-)

i have found out that the jackrabbit database is running on the standard "MySQL" database,

Is this normal?
Should it have its own database?
Can it be moved onto its own database?

Thanks in advance

Same as portal, you can run jcr on any database engine type, MySql or else.
Usually you would allocate a separate database name.
Subject to your specific requirements, you can run jcr on a separate server.

Ok

How can i move the JCR database on it's own database?

Being able to recover from any kind of an issue is really important. I'd like to know how to do this as well.
