Export and Import

We have built few websites on our development servers, the assets library and the pages are in large nos…
We need to move couple of sites to the production server, there are few sites already live , which were not part of the development (means implemented earlier).



How do I migrate/export the web site to the production servers. FYI: the live ones are with SSV license.



Please help me to sort out this problem. Thanks in advance.

This can only be done using scripts on the server.


See the scripts in the scripts/import/ directory of the Matrix system root (specifically, export_to_xml.php and import_from_xml.php). :slight_smile:

Thanks Dan, I have seen the scripts . I was wondering should I change/amend? will It work by just passing few parameters?

Those scripts will not migrate an entire site accurately from one system to another. There is no feature in Matrix to move a Site from one install to another that I would recommend for a production system.


The import/exports scripts are a good place to start if you are writing your own or willing to do some manual work and a lot fo reviewing, but you will need to become comfortable with the XML format that they produce. There is no current documentation for it.
