TODO Develop a workflow that incorporates GIT[edit]

  • Would require SSH access to the production server.
    • Sites hosted by NameCheap and GoDaddy have SSH access.
    • Fall back on FTP uploads.

Site-specific files[edit]

  • Make sure to upload /_config/app_config.php with development settings disabled.
This should be as simple as:
define ("IS_DEV", false);
  • Do a full backup of the existing site if making significant structural changes.
    • Try to save the archive outside of the web directory on the server.
    • With SSH access:
tar -czvf [SITE_NAME]-[DATE_yymmdd].tar.gz file1 file2 dir1 dir2 ...
  • Creates a gzipped archive named [SITE_NAME]-[DATE_yymmdd].tar.gz from the files file1 file2 dir1 dir2 ...
  • -c create an archive
  • -z compress the archive
  • -v verbose mode
  • -f specifies the name of the archive file
  • Without SSH access:
    • Site cPanel > File Manager > select the files and directories to archive & compress
    • Be aware that the cPanel File Manager usually imposes a size limit on the files being compressed and doesn't work well with a large amount of images.
  • Always download the archive after creating it.
  • Copy local files to server.
    • Collect files into a single archive and upload.
    • With SSH access use command line to extract the files.
    • Without SSH access use cPanel File Manager.
  • Permissions
    • Until I research this more completely, I am settings permissions at 644 for files and 705 for directories.
    • This is only an issue when uploading files and directories for the first time.
      • Netbeans has a setting in site > source files > right click > Properties > Categories: Run Configuration > Preserve Remote File Permissions
    • Some adjustment may need to be made for directories:
      • Where images are uploaded (but 705 has worked fine for that so far).
      • And for directories where the PHP pages deposit cache files.
$ find ./ -type d -exec chmod 705 {} \;
$ find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
  • TODO: Git workflow

Shared files and libraries[edit]

  • [COMMON_LIB]_ajax/ >> /_hostmgr/_ajax/
  • [COMMON_LIB]_classes/ >> /_classes/
  • [COMMON_LIB]_lib/ >> /_lib/
    TODO This directory needs to be cleaned up. Possibly the subdirectory error/ is the only one that needs to be uploaded.
  • [COMMON_LIB]_templates/ >> /_hostmgr/_templates/
  • [COMMON_LIB]hostmgr/sections/ >> /_hostmgr/sections/
  • [COMMON_LIB]scripts/ >> /scripts/
    • jquery/
    • littled/
      • JavaScript code should be copied from the minified JS library file to its corresponding *-source.js file.
      • JavaScript code uploaded to server should be minified.
      • Do not upload *-source.js files.
  • TODO: Git workflow

Database[edit]

  • Do a complete backup of the existing database before making any structural changes.
    Naming convention [SITE_NAME]-[DATEYYMMDD].sql
  • Store all updates to database data and structure in local _dbo/ directory.
  • Update production database using cPanel > phpMyAdmin
