The scripts we use assume a directory layout like this

libweb

sites

\[domain name\]

htdocs

sites

default *

files&nbsp;\[for Drupal 6 and 'public files' for Drupal 7 \]

make (this is only on the test server)
- \[domain name\]
  - \[domain name\].make

drupal_files&nbsp;\[private files for Drupal 7 \]

and assume there is a [drush alias|http://eporama.com/ramblings/drush-aliases]&nbsp;set up for the site called @\[domain name\] .

* it does not work with a domain name here!

How to change the modules and themes

find your make file under cul-drupal/\[drupal_6 or drupal_7\]/make/\[your site name\]/\[your site name\].make

add lines or modify the version of the module listed according to the drush make file format (use other sites for examples)
check in the changed version

How to rebuild your site

go to victoria02 and cd&nbsp;/libweb/sites/\[your site name\]/make

Note: the alias argument @\[your site name\] is no longer necessary for dr-make.sh

How to update your theme/module code on the site

go to victoria02 and cd&nbsp;/libweb/sites/\[your site name\]/htdocs/sites/all/\[modules or themes\]/\[your code's name\]

How to work with your custom themes/modules

How to move from production to test

There is a script for this on victoria02: /usr/local/bin/update_test_from_production.sh

There is also one for moving from victoria03: /usr/local/bin/update_test_from_victoria03.sh

**************************************

Usage: sudo /usr/local/bin/update_test_from_production.sh <production domain> <test domain>
