What is it?

SiteTools is a utility module that provides a number of related database and site 'housekeeping' utilities:

By choosing an option from the SiteTools menu. At the present time you can:

• Optimize your MySQL database tables
• Backup your MySQL database tables (MySQL 3.22 or higher required)
• Simple SQL Terminal - to issue SQL commands
• Browse template cache files
• Delete Template, RSS or ADOdb cache files
• Web Link Checker - check web links, image links and so on.

How to use it?

1. SiteTools optimize and backup functions currently only work with MySQL. Further classes are in the making for Postgres, and SQLite.
2. SiteTools only provides Administration, options and thus requires administration priviledges.
3. Start by checking settings in the SiteTools configuration options.
4. Warning: Default cache and backup directory paths should only be changed if alternative cache or backup paths have already been created and are writeable - chmod 777. At this time, backup paths are configurable, but cache paths are not configurable from within Xaraya administration.

Using Scheduler with Sitetools

A number of SiteTool functions also work in conjunction with the Scheduler module to schedule regular maintenance activies. At the present time the following functions are supported with Scheduler:

1. Backup Database
2. Optimize Database

You must have the Scheduler module installed and active to see further scheduler options in your Sitetools Module. Once Scheduler is installed, you can choose to set the interval for these functions. See the Scheduler Module for more details.
