confusion moving Perch site from draft to live
Moved a site from a draft on one server to its 'live' home on another host - no region content shows on the live site pages, although layout details are there such as headers and footers
In perch admin area all the pages and their editable regions are duplicated. The content (pages and their regions) from the draft site is there in the admin view. The regions on the duplicated pages are all showing as 'new'.
Any ideas on how this has occurred and how to rectify... other than copying everything from old but no show draft pages to new?
many thanks
Did you change the page paths in the process of moving the site?
no I did not... the root relative paths are the same I believe... on the draft site, although buried several directories deep on server, the site was all in a directory called 'web' and on live site everything is in a directory called 'web'
is there something in config I need to fix?
So your homepage is
/index.php
on both sites?yes it is
Can you post your diagnostics report?
sorry Drew been away from office
duplicated pages have new page id if that helps
Ok, that looks fine. I'm not sure how to help, as I don't really understand what you're seeing.
here's a screenshot... as an example the original page bryansmart has id=15, the duplicate with 'new' regions has id=41
why in some cases do pages show up under 'web'
What happens if you delete the pages you don't want?
if I delete the pages with 'new' regions I get an error 404 page not found on the live site
looks like I will have to copy content over from original 'old' pages to the 'new'... unless there si something I can do by editing the database directly?
How did you migrate this site? I would just start the migration again with a clean dump from the working copy.
I moved the site following your 'how to move a site' directions, exporting sql and then importing to new database. There were some issues with that (import trying to create tables within tables) but eventually got it to work, but with the problems I have above.
I will just copy content from old to new
Whatever that describes is your issue.
