Application Components

1. Clear out web application directory  

2. Check out https://svn.ecdf.ed.ac.uk/repo/is/apps/software/eprint/trunk/src/htdocs   

3. Deploy the contents of the checked out htdocs to the web application directory  

4. Transfer the print templates from the previous server:

   4a. Copy the PDF_REPO:

   FROM: E:\inetpub\LIVE\pso\pdf_repo TO: E:\sites\plesk\eprint.mis.ed.ac.uk\pdf_repo\

    

   4b. Copy any pdfs over from inside the htdocs root these will be in the... 

   FROM: D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\eprint\  

   pdf_img\inprogress, pdfout\printingstorage\pdfArchive, 

   pdfout\printingstorage\pdfConversions, 

   pdfout\printingstorage\preConversion, 

   pdfout\printingstorage\uploadedFiles, 

   pdfout\printingstorage\vdr, 

   pdfout\printingstorage\waterMarkedPDF, 

   pdfout\templates

    

   directories  to the corresponding directories on the new server...

   TO: E:\sites\plesk\eprint.mis.ed.ac.uk\httpdocs\  

    

5. Confirm the application is running and the print service licence is valid by going to the .NET test file in the healthcheck: https://www.eprint.mis.ed.ac.uk/healthcheck/dotnettest.cfm  This should display a success message similar to: Successfully queried activePDF Toolkit version: 5.4.1.13272    

6. If the website .NET test is correct and the application migration is succesful (see: Implementation Validation below) then: checkout the database script at: https://svn.ecdf.ed.ac.uk/repo/is/apps/software/eprint/trunk/db/patches/PPS009/replace_file_path_mappings_live.sql **this script updates the file paths that are stored in the database so that they will match the locations of the PDFs you just coied in step 4 above. Please make a backup of the database. Run the database script, replace_file_path_mappings_live.sql  against the LIVE eprint database to update the file paths in the database.
