CCMR's web service shuts down and Freed's web site continues to work correctly.

Status and efforts

April 5, 2013, Friday: Oliver sent Curt copy of CIT's 2-page documentation (from 4/1/13) of the new site's structure and connection info, based on CIT's "look-see".

April 4, 2013, Thursday: Dee and Barry. Over 2 hours? Barry helped Dee connect to new location and start to reconcile between new location and current (production) server.

March 20, 2013, Wednesday: Barry and Oliver. Over 2 hours. Fixed many problems with the copied data so it would work well.

Project status

4/5/13: The copy of web site is on CIT-hosted web server. All technologies seem to be working correctly on the new location, but must be further confirmed by Dee. Dee can connect and modify items in the new location.

To do's:

• Dee to confirm functionality in new location.
• Dee to true-up content in new site with content added recently to current site so there are no differences in data or structure between the two sites.
• Curt and Dee to sign-off that new site looks and behaves like current site.
• Barry and CRCF staff to cut-over domain name. Thus, ACERT URL to web site changes from pointing to current web site to pointing to the new location. Users should not notice a difference.
• Dee to continue verifying that new location is working as expected.
• Curt and Dee to sign-off on migration's success.
• Barry to turn off old web server.

Strategy

1A) Attempt migration to a CIT service.

...

• 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 and efforts

Migration to CIT's LAMP service

April 5, 2013, Friday: Oliver sent Curt copy of CIT's 2-page documentation (from 4/1/13) of the new site's structure and connection info, based on CIT's "look-see".

April 4, 2013, Thursday: Dee and Barry. Over 2 hours? Barry helped Dee connect to new location and start to reconcile between new location and current (production) server.

March 20, 2013, Wednesday: Barry and Oliver. Over 2 hours. Fixed many problems with the copied data so it would work well.

March 6, 2013, Wednesday: Barry and Oliver. Over 2 hours. Migrated copy of web site to new location. Emailed Dee to request she connect to new location. Notified Dee to make changes to new site if changes made to production site so cut-over would lose no data.
