So far, whenever we've added new components or made more significant hst configuration changes (in local and development environments), I've had to delete both the contents of the database and the storage folder before restarting for them to appear. What exactly am I deleting?
Hypothetically, if I were to delete these in production prior to an update (that will recreate them), what would I be losing?
Thanks for your help.
Mark.
Hi everyone,
We're finishing off a new Hippo Community-powered website for a new product, set up to use a Postgres database, and I've been unable to find a clear answer to a question I have. I wonder if you can help me.
What exactly is stored in:
- The (Postgres) database
- The repo.path storage folder

Ok, that makes more sense. I've set up Postgres using the instructions on the site, which it's definitely using, and already set repo.path to point at a folder that will be automatically backed up (although it sounds like it wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't).
So, going by the linked "Reload on startup initialize items" page, it sounds like I just need to add the "hippo:reloadonstartup" property to the sections of hippoecm-extension.xml I want to automatically reload, and make sure repo.boostrap=true. Any harm in adding it to all of the sections?
You can add a version to an initialize item.

Ok thanks all, yeah, we've already had some dev issues with bootstrapped files overwriting changes made in the repo, at least I know what it is now!
I have another related question. Our environment infrastructure calls for a single CMS instance serving content for multiple Site instances, on different servers and different tomcat instances.
Even though they're all using a shared remote database, unsurprisingly, the Site instances on a different server to the CMS is complaining about the missing "storage" repository.
How can I set up multiple distributed Sites to use a single CMS? I had hoped it was as simple as using a shared database but it seems not.
