Restoring the WAPT Server

In case of a complete crash, restart a standard WAPT Server installation on your WAPT 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.

/var/www/wapt/
/var/www/wapt-host/
/var/www/waptwua/
/var/www/wads/
/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.

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:www-data /var/www/wads/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/conf/
chown -R wapt /opt/wapt/waptserver/ssl/

  • Run a Scanpackages on your repositories.

wapt-scanpackages /var/www/wapt/

  • Restart WAPT related services on the WAPT Server.

systemctl start wapttasks
systemctl start waptserver
systemctl start nginx

Windows

  • Stop WAPT related services on the WAPT Server.

net start wapttasks
net start waptserver
net start waptnginx

  • Restore the following directories.

C:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt
C:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt-host
C:\wapt\waptserver\repository\waptwua
C:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wads
C:\wapt\waptserver\conf
C:\wapt\waptserver\nginx\ssl

  • Apply full rights to the folder C:\wapt\waptserver\repository for the “Network Service” group.

  • Restore PostgreSQL Database with pg_restore.exe.

"C:\wapt\waptserver\pgsql-9.6\bin\psql.exe" -f c:\backup_wapt.sql -U postgres

  • Scan package repositories.

wapt-scanpackages "C:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt"
