[SAC] Cleaning up Web VM

I'm trying to remove obsolete stuff from the Web VM. As far as I can
tell there are three sites which are required to be functional:
a) board.osgeo.org
b) 2011.foss4g.org
c) www2.osgeo.org for the LDAP CGI-scripts

If any of these doesn't work any more or if you feel there should be
more sites running on the Web VM, please shout.

Cheers,
  Martin.

Martin,

I am not personally aware of any current use of board.osgeo.org.
I don't seem to be able to login with my usual credentials. To
the best of my knowledge this was an effort of Tyler's that
did not mature into regular use.

Best regards,

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I removed it as well. Looks like I'm
getting a handle at how this Apache setup was meant to be.

Cheers,

Hi,
in preparation for moving the OSGeo main web site to the Web VM, I've
moved the 2011.foss4g.org site over to the Webextra VM, where all the
other foss4g sites reside.
I hope I didn't break anything - otherwise please shout.

Cheers,
  Martin.

Martin / Peter,

Is it really intentional that we provide universal ssh
access to the webextra vm? I was surprised to find
ssh login information on the public page at:

  http://2011.foss4g.org/content/foss4g-follow

I imagine that the account has limited priveledges but
it still seems kind of high risk. Perhaps if all 2011
presentations are uploaded we could remove that
account?

Best regards,

Thanks Martin,

Can you also update the wiki with this note?
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WebExtraVM#.2A.foss4g.org

(unfortunately the original wiki page is elsewhere, and people are
maintaining both at the same time:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_website_management)

I'll need to do some cleaning, to make sense of all this foss4g hosting
stuff.

No, this account provides a regular shell login, because it's in no way
restricted. I have no idea why it's been done this way (now is almost
the first time I'm touching the Webextra VM) and I agree, it should get
disabled completely, the account as well as the additional host name.

Cheers,
  Martin.

... I can only say that we must be crazy....

Ah, run because it is still OPEN!

I've been shuffling a few things around - I think I've disabled almost
half a dozend experimental web sites and removed the same number of
symlinks in a chain for the 2011.foss4g site which I was completely
unfamiliar with before.
Therefore I was planning to let things settle for a week and listen if
anybody complains about their favourite sites having disappeared or
being broken before I declare the current cleanup as done.

Then I'll update the Wiki accordingly.

Cheers,
  Martin.

While I was just restarting the Apache process(es) on "osgeo1", it came
to my attention that 8 different DocumentRoot directories defined in
the Apache config don't exist, which are:

  /var/www/foss4g/2006
  /var/www/foss4g/2008/index.php/foss4g/2008
  /var/www/foss4g/2009/current
  /var/www/foss4g/2010/website
  /var/www/foss4g/2011/website
  /var/www/ocs2/ocs-2.1.1-2
  /var/www/ocs2/ocs2_cvs_2009-03-02
  /var/www/ojs2/htdocs

May I safely assume that the respective config sections, the respective
virtual host definitions can be removed ? To me it looks like a lot of
stuff has already been migrated to other hosts, like to the Webextra
VM, but a lot of the old traces have not been purged from "osgeo1" and
upon migrating the main OSGeo web site to the Web VM I'd appreciate not
to waste too much time on porting outdated cruft.

Cheers,
  Martin.

I've now disabled these and other virtual hosts, which appeared to be
inactive on "osgeo1". If you've identified anything as missing, please
shout.

Cheers,
