Re: [boost] Migrating www.boost.org to another server

Yes, I will rsync your $HOME until the DNS record is updated. Then, please do not work on a new machine until the DNS is switched. Of course, once the DNS is switched, you have to use the new server only. Regards, -- - DongInn On May 23, 2013, at 11:39 PM, Rene Rivera wrote:

As part my checking earlier I logged in and nothing was amiss. But since I'm not the only one pushing data into the server what I would suggest is to turn off the rsync as soon as the DNS is switched. If there are any stragglers still hitting the old server after the DNS switch it should be OK as it's only intermittent data that might get lost which is just fine. We can deal with any problems that crop up after the switch as they happen.

Great! Rene, so then can I forget about rsynching your $HOME any more (i.e., can I expect that you will keep working on the new server machine)? Do you have any scripts to run on the new machine like the current wowbagger machine?

Well, actually you have to make your client machine look at the new

sever

when you access www.boost.org. For example, I tricked my client by adding the following line to /etc/hosts 129.79.13.33 www.boost.org

So, after your /etc/hosts has the above entry, whenever you access www.boost.org, it will go to the virtual host (www.boost.org) of new server which is supposed to host the boost web site in the very new future.

Please let me know if you still have a problem after you have the updated /etc/hosts.

I have tested this on linux and mac machines and they work fine. I have no idea how to trick this on Windows though yet.
