Restoring the WAPT Server

In case of a complete crash, restart a standard WAPT Server installation on your server.Then follow this procedure to restore your data.

Linux

  • Stop WAPT related services on the WAPT Server.

systemctl stop nginx
systemctl stop waptserver
systemctl stop wapttasks

  • Restore the following directories.

    # Debian / Ubuntu
/var/www/wapt/
/var/www/wapt-host/
/var/www/waptwua/
/opt/wapt/conf/
/opt/wapt/waptserver/ssl/

    # Centos / RedHat
/var/www/html/wapt/
/var/www/html/wapt-host/
/var/www/html/waptwua/
/opt/wapt/conf/
/opt/wapt/waptserver/ssl/

  • Restore the database (adapt the name of your file). The first command deletes the WAPT database (if it exists). Make sure that your dump file is correct before deleting!

sudo -u postgres psql -c "drop database wapt"
sudo -u postgres psql < /tmp/backup_wapt.sql

  • Apply ownership rights to the restored folders.

    # Debian / Ubuntu
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/wapt/
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/wapt-host/
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/waptwua/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/conf/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/waptserver/ssl/

    # CentOS / RedHat
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/html/wapt/
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/html/wapt-host/
chown -R wapt:www-data /var/www/html/waptwua/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/conf/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/waptserver/ssl/

  • Scan package repositories.

    # Debian / Ubuntu
wapt-scanpackages /var/www/wapt/

    # CentOS / RedHat
    wapt-scanpackages /var/www/html/wapt/
