Hello everyone,
Since the prodigy reinstalls there are a few small points you should all be
aware of.
1. As was mentioned on the boards, anyone with scripts connecting to a mysql
database should now use "mysql.internal" instead of "localhost" as the
database hostname.
2. The ip of Prodigy, our webserver, has changed from 136.206.15.10 to
136.206.15.2. Any of you with vhosts should contact your domain provider
and have the DNS altered to the new ip address.
3. The big move is completed now and you will all notice that users webpages
are located at /webtree/firstletterOfUsername/username.
This should be accessible from the public_html symlinks in your account or
directly if you wish.
Also the document roots of vhosts are no longer in /local/web/vhosts but
now located in /webtree/vhosts.
4. The location of tomcat on prodigy has moved from /local/web/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1
to /local/tomcat.
I have placed a symlink called jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 in /local/web pointing
to the new location to avoid any of your aliases or scripts with hardcoded
paths from breaking.
5. We have been contacted several times over the last few months regarding
illegal mp3 files being available off our webserver. Please avoid having
copyrighted mp3 files accessible on your website. This is being more
actively monitored of late by the likes of IRMA and the people who
represent them.
6. I think that's everything :) If anyone has any queries regarding any
changes or anything is broken, feel free to contact me at either
webmaster(a)redbrick.dcu.ie, skyhawk(a)redbrick.dcu.ie or via hey.
regards
Declan
