Migration to CIT's LAMP service

3/6/13: Barry copied the MySQL and files (PHP, etc) from the current production (old) web server to the new (staging) web server. This is Barry's summary of what has been done and what needs to be done.

• On the courseware site Barry has:
• Imported a snapshot of the acert_db mysql database from our server into the acert_vhdb1727 mysql database on the courseware host.
• Grabbed a snapshot of the web root directory on our server and copied it into the web root of the new server.
• Edited ACERT_PHPs/settings.php to change the database name, user, and password to the ones provided by ATS.
• Edited the index_files/about_acert.php so that all the PHP open tags were <?php instead of <?. On the new server, one can no longer use the shortcut <? to designate the start of a PHP section in a file. There are lots of instances of this in the site code.
• Sent a request to ATS to create collab, browser, and possibly acert_admin database users for the acert_vhdb1727 database. The first two are limited users, the last could be simply changed to the jhf3db user if all references could be found.
• It looks like the index_files/images and index_files/Images file names that differ in case only will not be a problem for the underlying file system.

2/14/13: Oliver gave Jack a status update.
