Blocking JShop while making changes

No comments:
When you want to work on a web site, you can DISABLE JShop for the outside world but ENABLE it for yourself and your tests by doing this:
- Create an .htaccess file on the top level of the JShop folder with the below lines (if an .htaccess file already exists, simply add these lines at the beginning).


ErrorDocument 403 http://www.aDifferentSite.com/workingOnJShop.html
deny from all
allow from {yourIPnumber}


Make sure http://www.aDifferentSite.com/workingOnJShop.html points to an HTML file on a DIFFERENT web site (since you're denying from the installed JShop site) which shows some "we're working on the site" text.

BU JShop via Script

Drop the following code in a PHP file, upload it to the top level of a JShop running on Linux, and execute it via the browser. It will create a tarball including the JShop files and MySQL data for downloading:

//Code to BU a JShop in place - all shop files and MySQL data
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//INSTRUCTIONS
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//Drop this file into the top level of a JShop installation on Linux and call
//it via the web
//This file itself will be deleted at the end as a security measure
//The names of the backup file to download will be output to your browser
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "

Script to BU a JShop in place

";

//Let the script run as long as necessary
set_time_limit(0);

//Get the info about the DB, file system, etc.
include ("static/config.php");
global $jssShopFileSystem, $jssStoreWebDirHTTP, $databaseUsername,
$databasePassword, $databaseName, $databaseHost;

//Some variables
$date = date ("Ymd");
$name = str_replace("\\", "", str_replace("/", "", str_replace("http://",
"", $jssStoreWebDirHTTP)));
$siteTarball = "{$jssShopFileSystem}{$date}{$name}.tar.gz";
$sqlDumpName = "{$jssShopFileSystem}{$date}{$name}.sql";
$thisScriptFile = $jssShopFileSystem.substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 1);

//Do a MySQL dump
// "Q" option quotes the column names - very important in case you have a column name that
// is also a keyword
// "n" Do NOT add a "create DB" command - since a lot of our clients have the same name
// for the JSS DB, we don't want to import this on our local setup and overwrite existing
// data
// "no-create-info" do not create the tables. This is done with the first mysqldump. We do
// the creation separate from the dumping so that the tables that we don't want the data
// for (big, unneeded tables for local development) still have their tables created.
// "--add-locks" Surround each table dump with LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES statements.
// This results in faster inserts when the dump file is reloaded.

// "--create-options" - Include all MySQL-specific table options in the CREATE TABLE statements.
// Cristóbal - In some sites not works!!!

// "K" - For each table, surround the INSERT statements with
// /*!40000 ALTER TABLE tbl_name DISABLE KEYS */; and
// /*!40000 ALTER TABLE tbl_name ENABLE KEYS */; statements.
// This makes loading the dump file faster because the indexes are created after all rows
// are inserted. This option is effective for MyISAM tables only.
// "e" Extended Insert: Use multiple-row INSERT syntax that include several VALUES lists. This
// results in a smaller dump file and speeds up inserts when the file is reloaded.
// "l" Lock all tables before starting the dump. The tables are locked with READ LOCAL to allow
// concurrent inserts in the case of MyISAM tables. For transactional tables such as InnoDB and
// BDB, --single-transaction is a much better option, because it does not need to lock the tables
// at all.
// "q" Quick: This option is useful for dumping large tables. It forces mysqldump to retrieve
// rows for a table from the server a row at a time rather than retrieving the entire row set
// and buffering it in memory before writing it out.

// "--set-charset" Add SET NAMES default_character_set to the output. This option is enabled by
// default. To suppress the SET NAMES statement, use --skip-set-charset.
// Cristóbal - In some sites not works!!!


// "u" is user name, -p is password (no space between the command and the password - see docs), and
// "h" is host.

//runCmd ("mysqldump -Q -n --add-locks --create-options -K -e -l -q --set-charset -u $databaseUsername -p$databasePassword -h "."$databaseHost $databaseName > $sqlDumpName");
runCmd ("mysqldump -d -Q -n --add-locks -K -e -l -q -u $databaseUsername -p$databasePassword -h "."$databaseHost $databaseName > $sqlDumpName");
runCmd ("mysqldump -Q -n --no-create-info --add-locks -K -e -l -q -u $databaseUsername -p$databasePassword -h "."$databaseHost $databaseName --ignore-table=$databaseName.jss_logs --ignore-table=$databaseName.jss_carts --ignore-table=$databaseName.jss_carts_contents --ignore-table=$databaseName.jss_logs --ignore-table=$databaseName.amex_clickthroughs >> $sqlDumpName");
//runCmd ("mysqldump -Q -n --add-locks -K -e -l -q -u $databaseUsername -p$databasePassword -h "."$databaseHost $databaseName > $sqlDumpName");
//Make a tarball of the site files, including the sql dump, excluding the tarball itself
runCmd ("tar czvpf $siteTarball $sqlDumpName");
//Remove the MySQL dump
runCmd ("rm $sqlDumpName");
//Remove this script for security reasons
runCmd ("rm $thisScriptFile");

You can now download '$siteTarball', which includes the MySQL dump:
