Filesystem changes to the web site
At my request ibiblio is moving our site to the new file server. Our new Apache documentroot will be: /public/vhost/g/gutenberg/html/ our old documentroot was: /public/html/gutenberg/ The steps are: 1. (done) The new directory has been created and the old directory has been copied to the new directory. The new directory is accessible thru the development web server at: http://www-dev.gutenberg.org 2. (in progress) I will update the files in the new directory and test them. 3. ibiblio will switch the production server to the new directory. 4. ibiblio will delete the old directory. How does this affect you ? If you are editing files in /public/html/gutenberg/ you should copy your edits to the corresponding files in /public/vhost/g/gutenberg/html/. At least you should keep a list of which files you did edit so you can copy them over before we switch the production servers. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
Any chance we could get a specific timeline on when these changes would be taking place? I just want to be sure we don't miss any CD/DVD requests. Thanks. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 01:31 PM 2/23/2005, you wrote:

The timeline is: as soon as I get it done. I assume your form processor writes a log file of the requests somewhere. At present there are two copies of your program. You should go to the /public/vhost/g/gutenberg/html/ directory on login.ibiblio.org and edit that copy of the form processor so it writes the log into the new file hierarchy. The old copy under /public/html/gutenberg/ will still write the log to the old location. When we switch over, the new form will start writing the new log and you'll just have to pick up the old log once manually before we delete the old directory. Test your new form under www-dev.gutenberg.org -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org

I'm actually thinking it might be easier to take the system down for a couple days during the switch over. That way, I can copy the old database into the new directory without having to wonder which requests went where. I assume that you will be giving the go-ahead to Ibiblio once you've tested everything. Would it be at all possible to drop me an e-mail a day or so before you think you'll be contacting them so I can take things offline? Thanks! Sincerely Aaron Cannon

How do these changes affect those of us who maintain mirrors? I've noticed that rsync'ing the main filesystem to keep up to date, has duplicated two copies of the tree now. Is this intentional? Its also taking twice the amount of space. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com

Nothing is going to change for the file archive. Just the web site files will be moved to a different file server. You are not supposed to keep mirrors of the web site. We will implement a net of squids to take load off the main site. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org

I'm mirroring the archive, not the website. Something changed recently, and all of the directories have been moved to a completely new layout, duplicating the tree in a secondary location inside the same parent root. Its doubled the amount of space the archive consumes, which is why I was concerned. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com

I cannot understand that. The file archive was moved a while ago to the new fileserver but mounted on the same directory. What commandline are you using to rsync the archive? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org

I'm just confirming that my mirrors don't seem to show any duplication (total size is ~143.6GB). For sample command lines and mirroring methods, see: http://gutenberg.org/howto/mirror-howto -- Greg
