# Description:
# Script made to automatically create a copy of a LAMP style web site/app. 
# Original use case was to regularly refresh a separate copy of a production 
# instance of LAMP to test updates/upgrades etc. This is meant to be lightweight 
# and should work on typical hosting accounts like bluehost/godaddy etc. 
# Copy script to host, enable execution, set the paths to the correct 
# SOURCE and DESTINATION locations, and then schedule VIA cron at the interval 
# you wish.

## ## ## ## ## ## CONFIGURE SETTINGS ## ## ## ## ## ##
# Set your full SOURCE path for files on your host (the version to be copied)
SOURCE_FILES="/foo/bar/SOURCEFOLDER"

# Set your full DESTINATION path for files (the version to be overwritten and updated)
DESTINATION_FILES="/foo/bar/DESTINIATIONFOLDER"

# TODO - Might not need this if it can be parsed from the config file.
# Set your SOURCE database instance (mySQL currently)
SOURCE_DB="DBINSTANCE"

# Set your DESTINATION database instance
DESTINATION_DB="DBINSTANCE"
