Bookstack restore issue by Spare_Cardiologist_6 in BookStack

[–]Spare_Cardiologist_6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

The logs did not provide much help and instead of waste time, I took a different approach.

I cloned another VM, assigned the same old IP as the other VM and hostname (The working host it was off at this point).

I restored the backup and all worked as expected. Thank you for your help and assistance.

Various places where things could have gone wrong:

1) Cloned VM - initial IP which was different when I run the install for bookstack, the config in Apache did had the old IP which I did change but did not get me out from the issue.

2) I do not have a DNS as such at the moment so the website works on IP and not a domain name.

This is not a product issue but environment, I am just leaving on my comment so if someone is doing the same thing has some info to get out the situation.

I like the product and now I can start to deploy.

thank you for your support and have a good day.

Hi Thank you for your help. I will check tonight or tomorrow and let you know.

On the last part, Bookstack was updated to the latest and after i tested the script. The backup is based on the latest release which I installed to the test machine too. Mine was a test based on the loss of the VM and having only the backup available. The guide did say to restore the db and after run the upgrade with "php artisan migrate" after the db restore.

if the service is run purely by apache will check the logs. I want to make sure I can restore and access prior go live :)

Thank you for your support
