As we transition from Puma being the department’s web server to Tempest, I think it makes sense to put content in /home, since that’s mounted on both machines, rather than in /var/www/, which is local to each machine.
I copied the following from puma:/var/www/html/ to ~sysadmin/public_html:
accounts user-info sysadmin
I also modified the /etc/httpd/conf.d/wellesley.conf file to set up redirects so that references to the original files would find the new location:
[root@tempest ~]# cd /home/sysadmin/etc/httpd/conf.d/ [root@tempest conf.d]# grep Redirect wellesley.conf # Redirects to the files in the SysAdmin account, which is mounted on both servers. Redirect permanent /accounts/ http://tempest.wellesley.edu/~sysadmin/accounts/ Redirect permanent /user-info/ http://tempest.wellesley.edu/~sysadmin/user-info/ Redirect permanent /sysadmin/ http://tempest.wellesley.edu/~sysadmin/sysadmin/
To make updating this file (and both copies in the real /etc on the two servers), I created a script called /home/sysadmin/bin/update-etc-file.
I did not delete the original directories, but I did put README files in there saying they were obsolete. Eventually, we should delete them. Or check to make sure they’re in the backups and then delete them.
