The scripts we use assume a directory layout like this

libweb
- sites
  - [domain name]
    - htdocs
      - [ Drupal site is here ]
      - sites
        default *
        settings.php
        files [for Drupal 6 and 'public files' for Drupal 7 ]
        backup_migrate
    - make (this is only on the test server)
      - [domain name]
        [domain name].make
    - drupal_files [private files for Drupal 7 ]
      - backup_migrate

and assume there is a drush alias set up for the site called @[domain name] .

* it does not work with a domain name here!

How to change the modules and themes

do a subversion checkout of https://svn.library.cornell.edu/cul-drupal
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 /libweb/sites/[your site name]/make
sudo dr-make.sh @[your site name]
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

make changes on your copy and check them in to svn
go to victoria02 and cd /libweb/sites/[your site name]/htdocs/sites/all/[modules or themes]/[your code's name]
svn up

How to work with your custom themes/modules

check out svn copies on your machine
edit/whatever the copies
check in changes

Moving sites between machines

You need to have ssh keys set up so you can get to the other machine without a password prompt

one easy way to do this is set up the drush command 'pushkey'

read all about it: https://www.drupal.org/project/drush_extras

PUSHKEY

    drush pushkey user@host.domain.com

	Creates an ssh public/private key pair in $HOME/.ssh, if
	one does not already exist, and then pushes the public
	key to the specified remote account.  The password for the
	destination account must be entered once to push the
	key over; after the key has been stored on the remote
	system, subsequent ssh and remote drush commands may be
	executed using the public/private key pair for authentication.

	IN DRUSH EXTRAS because is is Linux / openssl-specific.

install it in your user's drush
- log in to victoria02
- ```
drush dl drush_extras
```
use it
- log in to victoria02
- drush pushkey nid123@victoria01.library.cornell.edu
- prompts for password on victoria01 one time
- now try
  - ssh nid123@victoria01.library.cornell.edu
  - no password prompt, right?

How to move from production to test

log in to victoria02
grab the new scripts from github
- cd ~
- git clone git@github.com:cul-it/drupal-site-moves.git
cd ~/drupal-site-moves
git pull
./pull_from_production.sh <production site name> <test site name>
you are prompted for your password
you are asked to confirm the site move
you are asked to inform the site users that you are working on the site on the test server
- put up the 'Site Under Maintenance' block
script continues on without requiring any input from you
- backs up the database
- moves the site files to the target server
- installs the backed up database on the target server
done

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>

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

Log on to the production Drupal site and configure the 'Site under maintenance' block
- Under 'Page specific visibility settings' select 'Show on every page except the listed pages.'
Make a backup of the production site to the Manual Backups Directory (using Backup and Migrate module)
- Drupal 6: http://$productiondomain/admin/content/backup_migrate/export
- Drupal 7: http://$productiondomain/admin/config/system/backup_migrate
Log on to the test Drupal site
Put the test site into maintenance mode
- Drupal 6: http://$testdomain/admin/settings/site-maintenance
- Drupal 7: http://$testdomain/admin/config/development/maintenance
go to victoria02 and cd /libweb/sites/[your site name]/make
Determine what machine the production site is on
- victoria03 - www.library.cornell.edu, beta.library.cornell.edu
  - sudo update_test_from_victoria03.sh [your production site domain] [your test site domain]
- victoria02 - all the others
  - sudo update_test_from_production.sh [your production site domain] [your test site domain]
- the script will ask you if you completed each of the steps above and give you all the real paths to the pages you need to use
- the script moves the site with rsync
Log on to the test Drupal site
Restore the latest backup
- Drupal 6: http://$testdomain/admin/content/backup_migrate/destination/list/files/manual
- Drupal 7: http://$testdomain/admin/config/system/backup_migrate/destination/list/files/manual
- click 'restore' next to the latest version of the file (hint: sort by file name!)
take the test site out of maintenance mode

How to move from test to production

log in to victoria01 or victoria03
grab the new scripts from github
- cd ~
- git clone git@github.com:cul-it/drupal-site-moves.git
cd ~/drupal-site-moves
git pull
./pull_from_test.sh <test site name> <production site name>
you are prompted for your password
you are asked to confirm the site move
you are asked to confirm again
- you can take down the 'Site Under Maintenance' block while the site is still on the test server
script continues on without requiring any input from you
- backs up the database
- moves the site files to the target server
- installs the backed up database on the target server
done

There is a script for this on victoria01: /usr/local/bin/update_production_from_test.sh

There is also one on victoria03 to update production there: /usr/local/bin/update_victoria03_from_test.sh

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

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

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

Log on to the test Drupal site
Make a backup of the test site to the Manual Backups Directory (using Backup and Migrate module)
Log on to the production Drupal site
Put the production site into maintenance mode
Determine which machine the production site is on
- victoria03 - www.library.cornell.edu, beta.library.cornell.edu
  - ssh to the production machine victoria03 and cd /libweb/sites/[your site name]/make
  - sudo update_victoria03_from_test.sh [your test domain] [your production domain]
- victoria01 - all the others
  - ssh to the production machine victoria01 and cd /libweb/sites/[your site name]/make
  - sudo update_production_from_test.sh [your test domain] [your production domain]
the script will ask you if you've done each step and give you all the proper paths
restore the latest backup
configure the 'site under maintenance' block
- Under 'Page specific visibility settings' select 'Show on only the listed pages'
