I have a web server running on AWS, and I have spun up a beta instance so I can do some cleanup without affecting the live website.
Now I have tested and know it works fine, it is time to replace the sites. I do not want to switch the DNS as there a few things tied to the IP address and not just the domain name.
I had thought of creating a Directory and switching the Apache location to point there, then do a little housekeeping before pointing back.
What is the best way for me to do this? Apache directory change? Or is there a command line tool I can use to unzip a file into memory then overwrite a whole directory?
The Apache way seems like the best fit -- however, I am open to whatever options are out there!
