Share media - wt 2.0.0 #2418

Closed melizaa closed 5 years ago

melizaa commented 5 years ago

How do I share media between two wt 2.0.0. installations?

How do I share media from my production pre wt2.0.0 to my test wt2.0.0 installation? The link that I had and that worked, and that I removed today, caused errors in Cleanup data.

See #1974

I see the media and the #1974 issue in the future test.

I do not see media or issues in the test test.

The sites can share a data folder.

You have a folder webtrees-data in your home folder. You could use this folder.

For each site, go to "Control panel", "Website preferences" and set "Data folder" to ../webtrees-data/ or ../../webtrees-data/.

Move the folder www.amitys.com/webtrees/data/media to webtrees-data/media.

All your sites will then share this same folder.

I can do this for you, but it is important that we are not both working on your site at the same time. I do not want to be moving media files at the same time as you are uploading/editing them.

Greg, please do it.

I've done this.

1) Please check that this is working as expected 2) You have lots of GEDCOM and other files in your old data folders. You should move these to the new webtrees-data folder. (Some have the same name).
