Zoho Creator On-Premise server commands
Below are the commands you’ll need to start and shutdown the Zoho Creator On-Premise server, and backup and restore its database.
Server commands for Linux
You’ll first have to navigate to the installed_folder/Creator/bin/ via terminal.
- To start the server: sh app_ctl.sh run
- To shut down the server: sh app_ctl.sh shutdown
- To back up the database: sh backupDB.sh -p password
- You can protect the backup with a password. If you don't set one, the password is automatically set with the file name in reverse (without the extension). For example, if the name is OfflineBackup_20200703171838.ezip then its default password will be 83817130700202_pukcaBenilffO.
- The database backup will be saved in the SERVER_HOME/Backup folder. Its extension will be ezip.
- You can back up the database only when the server is offline.
- To restore a backup: sh restoreDB.sh filename_with_path -p password, for example,sh restoreDB.sh ../Backup/OfflineBackup_20200703171838.ezip -p 83817130700202_pukcaBenilffO
- The password is mandatory when you're restoring a backup.
