If you have an existing machine that is already fully prepared - for example, if you have already done Installation Guide and now you want to add a production server to the machine that's already hosting the development server, skip this step. Otherwise, do steps 1 through 5 from Installation Guide.

Restore the /web/openacs-prod directory from backup. This assumes that you are recovering from backups on the same machine. As root:

su - nsadmin
cd /web
tar xjf /backup/2003-01-04-yourserver--web-openacs-prod-backup-full.tar.bz2
exit

Restore the database from backup. First, create an empty database. Then load some initial functions (see this forum post for explanation). Then restore the backup file. As root:

su - nsadmin
createdb openacs-prod
psql -f /web/openacs-prod/packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql/postgresql.sql openacs-prod
psql openacs-prod < /backup/2003-01-04-yourserver-openacs-prod.dmp
exit

Recover the control files from backup and set them up. As root:

su - nsadmin
cd /web
tar xjf /backup/2003-01-04-yourserver--usr-local-aolserver-backup-full.tar.bz2
cp usr/local/aolserver/openacs-prod.tcl /usr/local/aolserver
chmod 660 /usr/local/aolserver/openacs-prod.tcl 
mkdir -p /usr/local/aolserver/daemontools/openacs-prod
cp usr/local/aolserver/daemontools/openacs-prod/run /usr/local/aolserver/daemontools/openacs-prod/run 
chmod 700 /usr/local/aolserver/daemontools/openacs-prod/run 
exit 
rm -rf /web/usr

Restart the server. As root:

ln -s /usr/local/aolserver/daemontools/openacs-prod /service 
sleep 10
svgroup nsadmin /service/openacs-prod

Browse to http://yourserver and verify that it is up and working.
