Mysql and web server migration
Submitted by admin on Thu, 01/10/2008 - 22:22.
I've moved the web server and mysql database server off of torvalds... finally. It was getting a little old. We now run both on a virtual machine in a Xen cluster. This will drastically improve up time and overall reliability. A few points to note:
1) Mysql is now version 5.0.38
2) The mysql URL is still mysql.cs.mtsu.edu . However, if you were using torvalds.cs.mtsu.edu before, it will no longer work.
3) Sites running in your public_html directories now run fully with your user permissions instead of the permissions of the apache user. In other words, any php,perl,python,shell,etc script you are executing will run AS YOU.
4) You no longer need to specify how to run CGI scripts in a .htaccess file. Any script that's set as executable will be executed as a CGI script. The exception is php. Any file with a .php extension will be executed as a php script.
