[ckan-dev] Migrating CKan

Fri May 9 22:47:14 UTC 2014

Hi Andrew,

Are you migration between different CKAN versions? If not, migrating the DB
is relatively easy: just use the regular dump and restore. Then you need to
get the uploaded files. If you're using S3 or some other cloud storage,
there's no work to be done (just make sure you're using the same INI file).
If you're using a local file storage, you'll need to check where it's
located (look for ofs.storage_dir and ckan.storage_path at the .ini file),
and copy that to the new machine.

After you do both, you should be able to run it on the new machine.

Cheers,
