I have a Web2py site that I want to transfer to another computer. I'll do an SQL dump for the (external) database, but does anyone have experience of transferring the Web2py site itself? Which files do I need to copy to the new machine?
Thanks everyone.
You should be fine just copying the application folder. You can exclude the /cache
, /errors
, and /sessions
subfolders. Make sure you restore the database before running the application (or if you want web2py to re-create the database tables, make sure migrations are enabled and do not copy the contents of the /databases
folder).
