Verify PRODUCTION email addresses

Import site into SVN/prod (svn import -m "new QuickSite" [PATH] URL)

svn import -m "new QuickSite" www.newsite.com http://cvs2/svn/prod/www.newsite.com

Checkout site on production server.

  When you checkout the site to the live server first check it out as a different folder name
  svn co http://cvs2.gaslightmedia.com/svn/prod/www.sitename.com new.sitename.com
  then move in the needed folders like admin/logs and move the original out of the way to the 
  backup directory and move in your new copy.

Update .htaccess. (Comment RewriteBase)

Create admin directory

Create cache directory

Copy logs directory from virtual server to new site/admin

Create new .htaccess file in admin with RewriteEngine Off

Test by adding pages paragraphs and images.

Troubleshooting

If you start getting PDOException error messages when attempting to, e.g., add a new page, or edit one, through the toolbox, make sure you have postgresql 8.4 installed and that /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/tablefunc.sql exists. It does not in 9.1, and build.xml will skip the "psql -U postgres -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib.tablefunc.sql -h ds4 whatevertablename" command
