Restore from published website

Every published website contains builder project files, which can be restored in the builder when needed. This is a 100% accurate restoration, which reverts the project that was in the builder at the time of the last publication.
In order to restore it to the builder, take the following steps:

  1. locate the following 2 folders in the published website:
    • [public_html]/sitepro/dat
    • [public_html]/sitepro/gallery
    * where change [public_html] to the real path of the published website on hosting
  2. locate the directory of that project in the builder:
    [builder]/data/e/x/example.com/
    * where change [builder] to the real path of your on-premises builder installation, change "example.com" to the website domain that needs to be restored, and change the part "/e/x/" to the 1st and 2nd symbols of the name of that domain
  3. clear the builder project directory if it is not empty:
    rm -rf [builder]/data/e/x/example.com/*
  4. copy 2 needed folders from the published website to the project directory in the builder
    * it can be done via SSH, FTP or other file manager that you prefer
  5. if necessary, update permissions of copied folders with "chown":
    chown -R user:group [builder]/data/e/x/example.com
    * where change "user" and "group" to real user and group of your builder installation

After that, when opening the builder, the correct project should be loaded.
