Test web
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?
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.
Ended up configuring Apache to listen on two different ports at the same time using VirtualHosts on both servers.
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...
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
