Thread "Client Clone - Mandanten Klonen - Who can help?"

Hello.

Since no one of the development Team is responding or helping, I would like to know, if someone else has tried to clone a Client on the same host?
Whats the best method, if "populate" section is unfunctional, to clone a productive client on the same host without the need to copy the ILIAS web root directory, media and log directory.

Could a developer deliver a statement?

Thx

Hallo.

Da leider kein Entwickler zur Hilfe kommt, wollte ich die Community fragen, ob schon jemand Erfahrung mit dem Klonen von Mandanten auf dem gleichen Server gesammelt hat? Was wäre die beste Methode, wenn "populate" ohne Funktion ist, um einen Produktiven Client auf dem gleichen Host zu verwalten, ohne das WebRoot, Media und Log Verzeichnis zu kopieren?

Könnte ein Entwickler ein statement dazu machen?

Danke

If you have access to the server shell it's relatively easy.

• create a dump from the client database that you wan to clone (ie orgclient)
• create a new client in the ILIAS setup (ie newclient)
• restore the dumped database into the new client database 
• copy all folders in the webroot/data/orgclient to the webroot/data/newclient (leave the client.ini.php)
• copy all folders in the outsideweb/iliasdata/orgclient to the outsideweb/iliasdata/newclient folder (include the pwsalt.txt)

If you have client specific customisation you'd have to copy those from the webroot/Customizing folder. All material in de the Customizing/global folder is available to all clients.

Hi, thx for the response Mate and sorry for the late feedback!

Got it finally working. It didn't work the first time I tried it, because I forgot about SELinux on my System and additionally I noticed, that I had to disable both clients in order to clean sqldump the actual database.

Finally I got it. Thx man
