  51                               <p>Spend most of my time setting up a test environment for the web pages. Problem is that the web server (Apache) cannot see the M drive when started as a service so it must refer to a snapshot view. Created webview for this purpose. But how does on test when in order to do so would require to publish your changes?</p>
  52
  53 <p>So I created another view, webtest. But how does Apache reference two different DocumentRoot's? We don't have the power of aliasing, and there's the two web servers to consider: c09-272-a and rtnlprod02.</p>
  54
  55 <p>Ended up configuring Apache to listen on two different ports at the same time using VirtualHosts on both servers.</p>
  56
  57 <p>Then I hit a problem with snapshot views not honoring symlinks properly - it copies the elements instead - and difficulty in updating such things. You see I was attempting to share css and images folders by means of a symlink. Abandoned that idea. Still need to hammer out where I have full URL's and pay attention to the different ports, etc...</p>
  58
  59 <p>Emailed Rory Valle regarding backups, he says they are being done. Also prodded James Portugal again about LDAP access. Finally attended the CM Staff meeting</p>
