Restore config.json

Mon Jul 18, 2016 5:35 pm

If I have a backup of config.json, what is the easiest way to restore that?

It doesn't seem to work through the ui. When I submit config.json, it doesn't seem to apply it.

It would be handy if it accepted either in the webui.

The backup and restore functions of the UI and CLU do not want just the config.json file they want the compressed file with directory structure that it creates during backup.

Could I manually recreate that compressed file? Or do I just need to stare at the config.json and try to get things configured back how they were?

Would a tar file that just contained www/config.json work? The rest of the files seem to be password files and ssl certs.

That will work.
