Custom folder

[ruzzetto]

Hi,
probably it's my fault but i installed a new otrs environment (for production purpose) and under /opt/otrs/Custom i cannot find any subfolder , while they're present on the old environment.... i don't remember i created them..... have i to enable them?
thanks

Hello ruzzetto,

did you install all packages from your old environment into your new one?

[ruzzetto]

sure, i checked again and i installed the same packages

What files are in "Custom" or do you only have empty folders on your old system?

[ruzzetto]

i have the entire tree for Modules, Output and System subfolders....and obviously some custom files, for example CustomerHeader.tt

[zzz]

How about you just open these files and check the copyrights so you know the origin.
Nobody can tell you what you changed on your old system

[ruzzetto]

for example i created a copy of CustomerHeader.tt located in

Code: Select all

/opt/otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/Templates/Standard

in

Code: Select all

/opt/otrs/Custom/Kernel/Output/HTML/Templates/Standard

but i didn't create subfolders ../Output/HTML/Templates/Standard...

/opt/otrs/Custom/ folder is empty by design when you install OTRS from scratch.
here you may specify any custom code or template file that you may have changed to be more suitable for your needs or requirements, and it is not necessary to replicate the whole set of files that made up the entire OTRS application.

If you would like to restore a test implementation on a new production environment, you may get through the ordinary backup and restore procedure (with /opt/otrs/scripts/backup.pl and restore.pl scripts that are provided) or you may chose to port them manually one by one from the old environment to the new one.

Also do not forget to run /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.SetPermissions.pl script to restore the correct file ownership and permissions of all the OTRS files (code and data).
The parameters of this command may vary with the release of your specific Operating System ... with CentOS or RedHat the command to use should be:

Code: Select all

./otrs.SetPermissions.pl --otrs-user=otrs --web-group=apache /opt/otrs
