Can we convert wrking author instance to publish

We can do it in 4 ways. Go through this link

ok i agree.. but we are using it for training purpose and it is for temporary purpose.. we have lot of assets and content.. it is taking time to copy from one publish to anther as the both instances are in different environments.

I have made changes like

1.changed the port no to 4503 and RUN MODE as publish.

2. in sling.properties i have changed the author to publish.

Still when i hit <IP>:4503 it is giving me author login page. it is not behaving as publish. when i checked in console it is taking run mode as author.

is there any way other than this.

Thanks

As Sham said, the ACLs are already applied, and simply changing the runmode will not change them anymore.
