Duplicate Shopware 5 store in Plesk
Prerequisites
- DNS resolution for the desired domain
- Sufficient free disk space is available
Add domain
If you have already created a corresponding domain in Plesk, continue with the next step Copy store files.
To do this, navigate to Website & Domains in Plesk and click on the Add domain button.
Select Empty website in the following pop-up window
Fill out the following form as required and click on the Add domain button.
Please note that the corresponding domain is selected as the preferred domain.
Copy store files
First navigate to Website & Domains. Then click the Change view button and select Active list.
Now click on the Copy website button in the area below the desired domain.
First adjust the settings for the copy of the store content. Then click on the OK button to start the copying process.
To completely overwrite the contents of the target domain and complications, select "Delete all existing files".
The fully completed copy process is reported back in Plesk as follows.
Copy database
When copying the database, tables are temporarily locked, which can have a minimal impact on the performance of your application for a short time.
To begin with, the database used in the current store should be determined in the Shopware configuration file under /document_root/config.php.
The corresponding directive in the config.php
'dbname' => '13019_26266_db',Copy database via Plesk GUI
Navigate to the database overview via the Databases menu item. Then click on the Copy button.
Use a unique name for the database. Customize the settings as desired.
It is recommended that you select the "Create complete copy" option. This avoids complications during the copying process.
Then click on the OK button to start the copying process
The completed copy process of the database is signaled in Plesk as follows.
Copy database locally
To avoid locking tables, we recommend using --single-transaction, which greatly reduces the table lock time.
Export database with `mysqldump
mysqldump -u database-username -p database-name --single-transaction > mysql_database-name.sqlCreate a database with the corresponding name. The exported database can then be imported.
mysql -u database-username -p database-name < mysql_database-name.sqlCustomize environment configuration
Customize the config.php according to the new database and the database user created.
'username' => 'database username',
'password' => 'secure-password',
'dbname' => 'database name'Empty cache
Shopware CLI commands should always be executed as the system user. Executing as root user can lead to unwanted side effects.
Log in to the relevant server with your system user via SSH. Then navigate to the document_root of your store.
Empty Shopware CLI cache
php bin/console sw:cache:clearCustomize sales channel
Finally, the fields host & hosts must be adjusted in the table s_core_shops according to the new domain.
host: in this example creoline-test.de
hosts: in this example creoline-test.de
