Its a beautiful day… the skys are blue… and everythings cool… oops - MySource question…
We have developed a sample site on MySource Matrix and would like to transfer it to a portable computer (take to clients and so forth). We are using PostgreSQL 7, PHP 4 and Apache 1.3 on a Linux server (and transferring it to a Linux based laptop). What folders do we need to copy across to the laptop to transfer the operational site (e.g. we have given the laptop the same IP address and so forth).
This is actually pretty simple (comparitively!). 
You need to backup your entire mysource_matrix folder, and the PostgreSQL database. Then, you can restore that onto the laptop in the same location as the first install (or run the system_move_update.php script after transfer).
Remember that Matrix looks for specific URLs, so you may need to modify your hosts file on the laptop so that the local machine resolves for the domain in Matrix.
Just to add that to do the full backup, run the backup.sh script in the matrix root directory.
Excellent - thankyou very much again for the prompt assistance.
Okay - I've managed to get the site running on the laptop without any issues. Unfortunately, when I enter admin mode it says "User not found" for my root account. Has anyone got any suggestions on howto resolve this issue as the rest of the transfered site is working perfectly. I used the backup.sh script for the transfer.
What's probably happened is the MD5 hash of the password is being interpreted differently on your laptop. Please contact me via PM or email and I'll explain how to resolve this issue.
