OK, lets say you've burned down the School of IT and you need to get Vislab back up and running from scratch. This Howto aims to give a brief outline of the steps to do this for the core servers. Bringing up HailHail is the central server at vislab, dealing with most of the user and machine-centric network tasks. It is a Debian Sarge machine. Assuming you've bought a robust machine with plenty of disk space to host it: /dev/sda2 957M 153M 805M 16% / /dev/sda5 3.8G 923M 2.9G 25% /usr /dev/sda6 3.8G 33M 3.7G 1% /usr/local/dev/sda7 3.8G 1.3G 2.5G 34% /var /dev/sda8 957M 39M 919M 4% /tmp /dev/sda9 3.8G 2.0G 1.8G 53% /mnt/scratch /dev/sda10 119G 95G 25G 80% /home}}} - The current IP address is 129.78.157.20
- Setup network logins:
- Install nis and nfs-kernel-server
- Nis config is done during installation. You mainly need to know that the Vislab NIS domain is 'vislab2.vislab.usyd.edu.au'
- You need to export the appropriate directories on the NFS server. This is done through /etc/exports. There current one is here: attachment:exports
- Install the applications. All of these are available in the standard Debian repository and can be installed with apt-get:
Bringing up VenuesVenues is the main project web server for Vislab. Setting up blogs and wiki In practice the simplest way to recover the various sites is to recover the contents of /var/www from the backup system (see BackupNotes), but I'll go through the theoretical rebuild ... - Install Wiki:
- Install Blogs:
- Install HPC wiki:
- All the other sites are static or no longer used. It is assumed you can get these from somewhere else.
- Setup the domain config for the various hosted sub-domains. See the existing config: attachment:venues-apache-conf-20060828.tar.gz
