Syncing Tools > update_engine

Here is an example of remote install using update_engine.php.

Make sure engine/_remote.ini is filled in !

When the --install argument is used, the script prompts you for the kind of install layout you want, and for the login/password the manager page will use.

$ ./engine/tools/update_engine.php --install Engine update host : mycompany.com user : alahup_engine path : www Press [y] to proceed y Password: [enter your ssh password here] building file list ... 602 files to consider caches/ engine/ engine/Smarty/ ... [long list of installed files] ... manager.php 3040 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 sites/ sites_db/ wrote 1539363 bytes read 10500 bytes 22960.93 bytes/sec total size is 1954626 speedup is 1.26 Choose the remote site layout type a) Single site layout b) Multiple sites layout (dedicated server) b Creating main .htaccess Password: [enter your ssh password here] Please choose a login for manager access : johndoe Please choose a password for manager access : mysecretpassword Creating _config.ini Password: [enter your ssh password here]$

At this point, you should open the remote site's manager in your browser and go to the Dashboard.

The web address of the manager depends on the configuration of the server.

In our example, that would be : http://mycompany.com/~alahup_engine/manager .
