As this is almost what you're doing (maybe minus the requirement of the target place to be running on totally different hardware): This is your opportunity to test the restore procedure.Olaf Kock2016-02-05T17:41:17ZRE: How to relocate a Liferay 6.2 InstallationDavid Rodriguezhttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=693522922016-02-05T10:48:21Z2016-02-05T10:48:21ZHi there!<br />I think that the steps should be these:<br /><br />-Delete the content of the folders work and temp inside the <strong>Tomcat </strong>folder<br />-Relocate the database and the <strong>Tomcat </strong>folder<br />-Relocate the <strong>data </strong>folder, in case it is not inside the <strong>Tomcat </strong>folder (it is not usually inside it)<br />-Establish the new location of the database and the user and password if necessary in these properties in the <strong>portal-ext.properties</strong> file:<br /> jdbc.default.url=<br /> jdbc.default.username=<br /> jdbc.default.password=<br />-Check the <strong>portal-ext.properties</strong>, in case there are some absolute routes. For example the properties:<br /> resource.repositories.root=<br /> auto.deploy.deploy.dir=<br /> lucene.dir=<br /> jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root=<br /> dl.hook.file.system.root.dir=<br /><br />If you don't have these properties defined, it will be important that the <strong>data </strong>and <strong>deploy </strong>folders are located as they were in your previous installation. They are usually in the same path than the <strong>Tomcat </strong>folder and <strong>portal-ext.properties</strong> (that is, the liferay home)<br /><br />I think that this is enough. Good luck!David Rodriguez2016-02-05T10:48:21ZHow to relocate a Liferay 6.2 InstallationCarlos Contihttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=693419792016-02-05T08:24:56Z2016-02-05T08:24:56ZHi there, beware I am a newbie pls...<br /><br />I have searched the web trying to find a manual in order to copy/move a Liferay installation (Tomcat bundle + MySQL) from one server to another. <br /><br />According to the traditional simplicity that accompanies a regular Liferay installation, I believe by simply copying the Tomcat folder and the mysql database to the destination server, should do the job. However I believe I would be missing some configuration settings on the way. So I would be so pleased if someone who has tested that knows the fixings that I should do.<br /><br />I think this
