Installation details

URL: ​http://www.clarin.eu/internal

(www.clarin.eu, the external site, runs on a set of php pages on the samen web server)

webserver: clarin.mpi.nl - virtual ESX host at the MPI, running ubuntu 8.04 LTS (supported until 2013)

software running: LAMP, drupal 6

apache root: /var/www/drupal

The user database is also exported to the "home for the homeless" IdP that is running at the MPI. The latter is used e.g. for the Component Registry and thus forms an important part of the infrastructure.

Known issues

• ticket:31 , related: currently for the hierarchical structure of the site there is a mix between the standard book pages (​http://www.clarin.eu/admin/content/book) structure and the non-standard site outline (​http://www.clarin.eu/content/hierarchy). Only one mechanism should be used (probably the book pages as that is a part of the drupal core and thus probably better supported in the future). This is a non-trivial task but very important nevertheless as the current situation obfuscates the structure behind all information on the site.
• ticket:39
• ticket:33
• the drupal core module and all other modules urgently need to be updated (security)
• there is no CCK node reference field in event that links to the presentations that are related
• The access control mechanism via organic groups is too complicated. A few roles (anonymous, clarin member, clarin EB) should be sufficient. Again going from OG to roles is not really trivial.

Low priority issues

• the google maps module does not work anymore

Other scripts on the same server

• /home/dietuyt/bin/drupal-cron.sh: shell script that calls the scripts that need to be run every hour
• /home/dietuyt/bin/cache-flamenco.sh: recursive wget call that caches all flamenco pages in the web server's memory, not used anymore
• /home/dietuyt/bin/org2clarin.py: script that generates HTML out of ​http://www.clarin.eu/export_organisations and updates /var/www/drupal/exernal/data/clarin-organisations.txt which is used a source for the member pages at ​http://www.clarin.eu/external/index.php?page=about-clarin&sub=3&sub2=0 with the most recent information from the organisation database at the internal site. Should be run every hour by cron but for some strange reason this does not happen. Should be run (as a workaround) after each addition of a new organisation (​http://www.clarin.eu/node/add/organisation).
• /home/dietuyt/bin/rss4deliverables.py: generates an RSS feed for ​http://www-sk.let.uu.nl/cgi/clarin_18deliverables.ksh as used in www.clarin.eu/deliverables
• /home/dietuyt/bin/update-cmd.sh: checks out the latest version of the metadata directory in SVN (source:metadata/trunk/toolkit) to www.clarin.eu/cmd - this path is used by the ComponentRegistry which relies on it for eg comp2schema.xsl
• /var/sitebackup/fullsitebackup.sh: makes a tarball of the /var/www/drupal directory and a dump of the MySQL database. Then copies this to the home directory of Dieter at the MPI (needs to be changed!!)
