However, after clicking add, when I click save, it just gets removed from the list. Why does that happen?

Stephane,
I have exported the virtual site using the administration menu. How to import it to the new machine now? Virtual sites management menu does seem to have any import button.When you create a new virtual site, within the virtual site configuration wizard, when you reached the page where you need to choose your set of template, you can here choose to import an existing import file (please use the same set of templates or 100% compliant templates).
Secondly, can you tell me some document which contains information about "Manage Distant Site for Auto Export". I am not able to make it to work. I'll export the portlets after I am able to export the content.You just need to fulfill the information of the form aka: the full name of your remote virtual site (it could be another virtual site on the same server too = http://localhost:8080/jahia/Jahia/site/name_of_my_new_site )
Then you need to enter the name of the user on the distant server that will make the import (usually root) and the name of the user on the local server who will make the export (could be root if you want to make a full site export, but could also be guest if you only want to export content available for the anonymous users but not confidential content - for example for web site purposes).
Finally you will need to enter your "cron" command (check the examples listed below).
Cheers
Stéphane
Thanks

- Hi,
- I have created a jahia 5.0 site with some portlets on my local machine. Now I want to export it to another machine for demo.
- How should I go about it? I checked out the xml import export feature but looks like it can only export portions of the site and it also doesn't export portlets.
- Also checked the "Manage Distant Site for Auto Export" in administration but couldn't understand what exactly it is for and whether it will fulfill my needs.
- You're right. The Export or Replication features (which basically use the same import/export utility) does not directly handle portlets export but just content replication. Portlets are another beasts. These are custom and specific webapps which run in their own Java context. So for example in Tomcat (and this is the same for all the other J2EE servers), the Jahia webapp can not access to the portlet API. Morevover each J2EE server has another manner of deploying and managing webapps. Finally each portlet can have its own DB pool connections and other kind of connectors/settings/.... So most of the time, replicating a portlet is not just as easy as making a new war file and redploying it on the other server. So you will have to manage that on your own. (regarding the jahia portlets, most of the time they are prepackaged with en embedded HSQL DB, so you can just take the portlet directory in /Tomcat/webapps and copy it into the other server, reinitilaize the portlet in the Admin Center, then make a syncro with the Manage distant Site export and you will have the same web site, portlets included. Warning: if the content of your portlets is different from one server and the other (e.g. you deployed a discussion forum and you have tow different set of discussion threads on each server) you will have to deal with the merge of the DB yourself. Here again the portlet is a standalone dedicated web application...
