Obsolete:NFS debacle

This page contains historical information. It is probably no longer true.

STUFF STILL TO FIX:

Little stuff:

• Move mailman on zwinger out of /home so zwinger can mount the current /home
• Remove all use of /home in Apache (such as htdocs for a few rare things)
  • Check for remaining symlinks into /home from common/docroot
    • Small number of files belong in common/docroot. Large number of files probably belong on another server.
  • Check for remaining use of /home in apache config
    • Foundation CGI script for updates.
• Set up php.ini files to sync with apache config
• Remove all use of /home in PHP scripts
  • config
  • debug logs!

Big stuff:

• Reinstall Zwinger, once mail service is moved off it
• Reinstall albert; suda and albert should each have a copy of each other's junk
• Make sure /home is consistent where mounted
  • But try to skip it where possible

More remaining nfs stupidities which we found broken:

• (log files in /home/wikipedia/logs)
• /home/wikipedia/htdocs used via a redirect from /usr/local/apache/htdocs (but not really used for anything, just broke apache restart)
• /home/wikipedia/conf/php*.ini symlinked instead of copied around
• math on amane but mounted through /home/wikipedia/ someplace
• PATH environment variable sanity
• 'current working dir' was not reset somewhere..
• still some PHP 4 boxes in service, their cache configuration broke when php.ini was reinitialized from the php5 masters.
