Revive a long-dormant AnQiCMS project, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for website operators.Long-term stagnation means that the technical environment may have changed, and unresolved issues may have accumulated within the system.As an experienced website operation expert, I know that meticulous inspection and comprehensive planning are the foundation for success when restarting the AnQiCMS project.Below, I will interpret the necessary preparation in detail from multiple dimensions.

Resurrect AnQiCMS: Comprehensive preparation for restart after a long stop

When an AnQiCMS project has been dormant for a long time, it is often met with all kinds of unexpected problems of 'not adapting to the local conditions'.This is like waking up a sleeping giant, we need to carefully check his physical condition to ensure he can re-enter work in **good condition**.Preparation work mainly focuses on several core points such as environment, system, data, function, and operation strategy.

I. Environment check and system health diagnosis

Firstly, we need to conduct a comprehensive check-up of the basic operating environment that the project depends on.

1. Server and operating system statusCheck the server's hardware resources, including CPU, memory, and disk space availability.The server may have accumulated a large number of log files due to long-term inactivity, or some services may be running silently in the background consuming resources.Ensure the stability and security of the operating system itself (such as a Linux distribution or Windows Server) and check for any pending security patches.

2. Version verification of core dependent software： AnQiCMS is developed in Go language and usually depends on MySQL database.You need to confirm whether the Go language runtime environment version on the server meets the minimum requirements of the current AnQiCMS version.Check the MySQL database version and ensure it is running normally, with no damaged database tables or permission issues.If the project is running in a Docker environment, it is also necessary to check the status of the Docker engine itself and its related containers.

3. Network and Port Configuration Summary： Restart AnQiCMS, first make sure that the port it is listening on is not being used by other services.AnQiCMS defaults to listening on port 8001. If multiple AnQiCMS instances are running on the same server, each instance needs to be configured with a different port.lsof -i:{端口号}This command can check port usage.In addition, check if the configuration of reverse proxy servers such as Nginx or Apache is still valid, and whether the proxy address and port are consistent with the port on which AnQiCMS is actually running.Is the website domain name resolution still pointing to the correct server IP, which is a crucial step to ensure the website is accessible from outside.

4. Log File Review： Carefully check the log files in the AnQiCMS project directory before and after attempting to start (running.logandcheck.log，尤其是在使用 Englishstart.shScript starts at）。These logs will record any error information encountered during the startup process, such as database connection failure, configuration error, or permission issues, and are golden clues for troubleshooting.

二、AnQiCMS核心程序与数据保障 English

这是项目能够成功重启的命脉所在。 English

1. 程序文件完整性验证 English Check the integrity of the AnQiCMS program files.If the program is deployed from a version control system (such as Git), you can try to pull the latest code and compare or redeploy it./public/static/）、模板文件（ English/template）etc. are not missing or damaged.

2. Database connection and data integrityThis is of utmost importance.Through the initial installation steps of AnQiCMS backend management interface, you can quickly test the database connection.Ensure that the database user has sufficient permissions to perform read and write operations on the data tables required by AnQiCMS.Then, check if the table structure in the database is complete, and if the data content is corrupted or lost.For important data, this is a must-verify step before re-launching.

3. Backup and recovery strategyBefore performing any large-scale operations (especially upgrades or migrations), be sure to make a complete backup of the existing AnQiCMS program files and database.Even if the project has been stopped for a long time, its historical data still has value.Establish a clear backup and recovery strategy so that you can quickly roll back in case of an accident and minimize losses.

4. Core configuration file review： 仔细检查AnQiCMS根目录下的config.json文件。其中包含网站端口（port）、Database connection information and other key configurations. Especially when there are multiple AnQiCMS instances on the server, each instance'sportThe configuration must be unique.In addition, if advanced security settings such as custom backend domain names are enabled, it is necessary to ensure that the domain name resolution and server-side configuration (such as Nginx/Apache) are also correctly synchronized.

Three, System update and feature optimization

A long delay means that the project may have missed multiple version iterations of AnQiCMS.

1. AnQiCMS version upgrade plan： 查阅AnQiCMS的更新日志（English)changelog.md

2. Security enhancement measures： AnQiCMS has built-in multiple security features, such as anti-crawling interference code, content security management, sensitive word filtering, etc.When restarting, these security mechanisms should be fully enabled and configured.If you have not configured a custom backend domain before, it is a good time to strengthen backend security.Moreover, check and update the SSL certificate to ensure the website runs securely over HTTPS.

3. SEO configuration review and optimization： Review and adjust the pseudo-static rules（English）help-plugin-rewrite.mdMake sure the URL structure is SEO-friendly.Check the Sitemap and Robots.txt configuration to ensure it is correctly pointing and allows search engines to crawl.If the keyword library, anchor text management, and other advanced SEO tools are enabled, check whether their configuration still conforms to the current SEO strategy, and consider using the AnQiCMS batch content replacement function to optimize on-site keywords or links.Also, if the project is aimed at global users, check whether the configuration for multilingual support is complete.

4. Content Model and Template Compatibility Review： AnQiCMS supports flexible content models and custom templates. If an upgrade is made, it is necessary to check if the existing content model is compatible with the new version, and whether the template files need to be updated according to the new tag syntax (design-tag.md）to adjust. For example, the old version may have usedarticle/producttags, while the new version may have been refactored toarchiveTag. In addition, if the Markdown editor or math formula/process diagram display feature is enabled, ensure that the required third-party CDN resources or JavaScript code has been correctly introduced (help-markdown.md).

Four, preparation for relaunch and continuous operation.

Finally, prepare for the relaunch of the project and subsequent continuous operation.

1. Multi-site and multi-language support： If the project requires support for multiple sites or languages, reconfirm whether the configuration for each site or language is independent and correct, especially in terms of database, file directory, and reverse proxy settings (docker-bt-proxy.md).

2. Performance tuning and resource optimization： Enable AnQiCMS static caching mechanism to accelerate page loading. Combine with content settings such as WebP image format conversion, automatic compression of large images, and batch regeneration of thumbnails (help-setting-content.mdOptimize image resources to further improve website performance and user experience.

3. Traffic statistics and crawling monitoring： Configure and enable the AnQiCMS built-in traffic statistics and crawling monitoring feature so that you can understand the visit status, user behavior, and search engine crawling activities in time after the website is relaunched. At the same time, reconfigure the link push interfaces of Baidu, Bing, and other search engines (help-plugin-push.mdEnsure that newly released or updated content is indexed in a timely manner.

4. Adjustments to content operation strategy： Utilize the scheduled publishing function of AnQiCMS to re-plan the content publishing schedule.Consider whether it is necessary to use the content collection and batch import function to quickly fill or update content.For existing content, review its timeliness and relevance, and make necessary updates and optimizations.

By means of the aforementioned detailed preparation, you will be able to restart and run your AnQiCMS project in an orderly manner, ensuring its stability, efficiency, and security in providing services to users.
