All, We've been working on migrating away from the old divisional web servers for some time, and we've reached a point where security concerns are driving the need to get this move in place. We've come up with a plan for handling users' personal webspace in their unix home directories (those of you with www-unix URLS for your home page). Some of you may have noticed a symlink added to your homedir called "web" that points to an nfs directory. This is an rsync'd copy of your public_html directory that lives locally on the webserver. If you'd like to see what it looks like, visit http://www-dev.mcs.anl.gov/~<username> from onsite or VPN. Some advantages to this new setup are: * local disk on the webserver = fast * no more ugly www-unix or www-new urls (redirects will point to the new url in case you have old links hanging around) * php5 available with .php5 file extensions * migration serves as a reminder to cleanup/update your personal webspace :) We're aiming for a deadline of *August 1st* to cut over all users. The steps to migration being: 1. final rsync of data 2. move old public_html out of the way 3. move "web" symlink to public_html If you'd like to do this ahead of time, send email to [email protected] and we'll set it up. We will deal with www-fp homepages in August. Thanks, Ken
