Using eSync to Initialize a New Site

Typically, before you begin using eSync, one server hosts an Ektron CMS400.NET Web site, and you want to bring other servers into the configuration. After the servers are synchronized, one will be the staging server (the one on which content is created or updated, then approved). Another server, production, hosts your live Web site.

Warning! The names of the site and all folders must match on both servers. This is because paths to images, xslt files, etc. refer to a site and its folders. If the servers’ site and folder names do not match, the links break.

First, use eSync to initialize the new servers from the existing one. This process is described in Setting Up eSync. Afterwards, use eSync to periodically sync updated content, folders, users, menus, etc.
