How do I export/import a config schema?

Post by martinshort »

Hi

Forgive me if I haven't got the Mantis terminology correct, but this is what I want to.

1. From our locally hosted instance of Mantis, I want to EXPORT the entire schema, all configuration settings including custom fields, code tables.
2. I then want to IMPORT the schema into a hosted (by Mantis) version of the database.

Can this be done?

Cheers
Martin

This should work.
Copy also file config_inc.php to your new installation.
After that you need just change the database relevant options in this file.

Thanks Atrol

I really am new at Mantis. Where do I find this file

a) on the local installation?
b) on the Mantis hosted installation?

I can't tell you where the file is stored as the one who installes the system decides where he wants to store Mantis.
It depends on your web server configuration.

That's a shame. I only have access to the UI which means your instructions won't work.
