CCMR's web service shuts down and Freed's web site continues to work correctly.
Strategy
1) Attempt migration to a CIT 's free LAMP service.
Possible investment, especially if 2) Longer term invest possibility, which we may need to look harder into if the above migration proves difficult:
- Identify options for hosting, and characterize trade-offs, including costs and administrative overhead.
- CIT's Academic Technologies (AT) group (Todd Maniscalco <tam42>) likely can provide free consultation, with free follow-up services. (CIT's IWS may also be able to do an initial consult for free, too.)
Project notes
Migration to CIT's LAMP service
1/11/113: Confirmed that CIT AT can host the web site for free, <http://atcsupport.cit.cornell.edu/itrequest/main.cfm?cmd=4>.
1/8/13: Oliver put in a request for service to CIT's Academic Technologies (AT) group (Todd Maniscalco <tam42>). They willl will determine if this is a "fit" for their (free) service offerings.Ticket ID: 38530. Case number: INC000000770987.
Oliver learned of a peer research group that can host this LAMP-based web server in a shared hosting environment for "cheap". Before pursuing that further, Oliver will see if another part of CIT can host this service for free.
12/17/12 (Mon): Oliver submitted request to <webservices@cornell.edu>. Since been confirmed that just exploring this option will cost a VM hosting fee as part of using CIT's otherwise-free LAMP service.
