Creating a backup and configuration file
Creating a backup
To create a MongoDB backup, you can use the following instructions — Examples of creating and restoring MongoDB backups﻿﻿
If Passwork is installed on a virtual or cloud-based operating system, we recommend creating a restore point so that you can quickly roll back in case of errors
Creating a copy of the configuration file
The main Passwork parameters are specified in the config.ini configuration file. Create a copy of the file and save it in a separate or root directory of the user:
Shell
cp /var/www/app/config/config.ini ./
cp /var/www/app/config/config.ini ./
﻿
Updating the Passwork code and creating an archive of the old version
Code update
Rename the root directory with the Passwork code:
Shell
mv /var/www /var/copy_www
mv /var/www /var/copy_www
﻿
Create a www directory:
Shell
mkdir /var/www
mkdir /var/www
﻿
Extract the latest version of the Passwork code to /var/www/:
Shell
unzip ./Passwork-xxxxxx.zip -d /var/www/
unzip ./Passwork-xxxxxx.zip -d /var/www/
﻿
Check the extracted Passwork version:
Shell
cat /var/www/version
cat /var/www/version
﻿
Move the config.ini configuration file and license key from the old version:
Shell
mv /var/copy_www/app/config/config.ini /var/www/app/config/
mv /var/copy_www/app/keys/passwork* /var/www/app/keys/
mv /var/copy_www/app/config/config.ini /var/www/app/config/
mv /var/copy_www/app/keys/passwork* /var/www/app/keys/
﻿
Creating an archive of an old version
Create a Passwork archive with the version name in .zip format in the /opt/ directory:
Shell
version=$(cat /var/copy_www/version) && zip -r /opt/${version}.zip /var/copy_www/
version=$(cat /var/copy_www/version) && zip -r /opt/${version}.zip /var/copy_www/
﻿
Delete the renamed directory with the old version of Passwork:
Shell
rm -rf /var/copy_www
rm -rf /var/copy_www
﻿
Assigning an owner and setting rights
After creating the /var/www/ directory, you need to change the directory owner and set permissions for the Apache web server.
DEB-based Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.)
Shell
find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /var/www/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /var/www/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
﻿
RPM-based Linux (Centos, RedHat, etc.)
Shell
find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /var/www/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/
find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
