restored DB not active

Using my Dolibarr
1

Hi,
I am have setup a test environment and want to also test disaster recovery by setting up a new Synology NAS instance of our production environment. I have followed some instructions of replacing the “documents” folder on the NAS. I then successfully restored the database via myPhpAdmin. However when I run Dolibarr it still tells me that I need to configure all the base settings like company name and currency. I am guessing that Dolibarr is not looking at my restored database.

Can someone understand why my environment does not mirror the production installation? Is there another file I should be restoring? Or how do I point Dolibarr to the right place?

Thanks,
Jason

Although I am not in production I move a database about from local to hosting and back with no problems BUT there is one object in the database that stops it being 100% portable:


So after importing the database I run this to delete this constant:
DELETE FROM llx_const WHERE llx_const.name = “SYSTEMTOOLS_MYSQLDUMP”

I am not saying this has anything to do with your issue, but just to confirm that apart from the above, I have not come across any other problem with moving a database about.
I imagine your issue is the conf file.

I suppose all entries in your conf.php are still the same as in the origin…

Adjust them to the new environment.

Take a look here:

This file contains the parameters specific to an installation:
htdocs\conf\conf.php

You need to edit it to reflect the NAS installation.
If you cannot get your restored Dolibarr to work, you could install a new Dolibarr on the NAS, just to see what this file should contain.
