Go-Live Checklist for Concrete5 5.7
We should compile a list of things todo when launching a site using the new C5 5.7+.
This list is in progress so please add anything else that you discover!
- Enable Caching
- Disable detailed debug information
- Enable debug logging
- Dump the database and search the text for your staging domain. If you find it, replace all occurrences to a relative path (http://staging.meta13.com/myfiles/ becomes /myfiles/) This seems to happen a lot when the customer has entered their own content. Once it’s all replaced, nuke the old database and import these changes.
