    Using CVS for backup-recovery

    CVS-only backup is often appropriate for development sites. If you are already using CVS and your data is not important, you probably don't need to do anything to back up your files. Just make sure that your current work is checked into the system. You can then roll back based on date - note the current system time, down to the minute. For maximum safety, you can apply a tag to your current - files. You will still need to back up your database.

    Note that, if you did the CVS options in this document, the /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc directory is not included in cvs and you may want to add it.

    [root@localhost root]# su - service0
-    [service0@localhost service0]$ cd /var/lib/aolserver/service0
-    [service0@localhost service0]$ cvs commit -m "last-minute commits before upgrade to 4.6"

    1. Find datetime in .xql files. Use command line tools to find suspect SQL code:

      grep -r "to_char.*H" *
 grep -r "to_date.*H" *

    2. In SQL statements, replace the format string with the ANSI standard format, YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS and change the field name to *_ansi so that it cannot be confused with previous, improperly formatting fields. For example,

      to_char(timestamp,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS') as foo_date_pretty

      becomes

      to_char(timestamp,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as foo_date_ansi

    3. In TCL files where the date fields are used, convert the datetime from local server timezone, which is how it's stored in the database, to the user's timezone for display. Do this with the localizing function lc_time_system_to_conn:

       set foo_date_ansi [lc_time_system_to_conn $foo_date_ansi]

      When a datetime will be written to the database, first convert it from the user's local time to the server's timezone with lc_time_conn_to_system.

    If you want full text search, and you are running PostgreSQL, install this module to support FTS. Do this step after you have installed both PostgreSQL and AOLserver. You will need the openfts tarball in /tmp.

    1. Install Tsearch. This is a PostgreSQL module that - OpenFTS requires.

The key is the private half of the key pair. In addition, the certificate must be signed by Certificate Authority or browsers will protest. Each web browser ships with a built-in list of acceptable Certificate Authorities (CAs) and their keys. Only a site certificate signed by a known and approved CA will work smoothly. Any other certificate will cause browsers to produce some messages or block the site. Unfortunately, getting a site certificate signed by a CA costs money.

    • PostgreSQL:

      Create a user in the database matching the service - name. With default PostgreSQL authentication, a system user connecting locally automatically authenticates as the postgres user of the same name, if one exists. We currently use postgres "super-users" for everything, which means that anyone with access to any of the openacs system accounts on a machine has full access to all postgresql databases on that machine.

      Add this line to the file. The numbers and stars at the beginning are cron columns that specify when the program should be run - in this case, whenever the minute is 0 and the hour is 1, i.e., 1:00 am every day.

  • Configure an AOLserver Service for OpenACS.�

    1. The AOLserver architecture lets you run an arbitrary number of virtual servers. A virtual server is an HTTP service running on a specific port, e.g. port 80. In order for OpenACS to work, you need to configure a virtual server. The Reference Platform uses a configuration file included in the OpenACS tarball, /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc/config.tcl. - Open it in an editor to adjust the parameters.

      [root@yourserver root]# su - service0
-[service0@yourserver service0]$ cd /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc
-[service0@yourserver etc]# emacs config.tcl
+	   Open it in an editor to adjust the parameters.
      [root root]# su - service0
+[service0 service0]$ cd /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc
+[service0 etc]$ emacs config.tcl
 
      
 	  You can continue without changing any values in the file.  However, if you don't change address to match the computer's ip address, you won't be able to browse to your server from other machines.
 	
      [service0 service0]$ exit

      1. Update documentation version numbers:

+              Commit changes

      2. Check out the whole cvs tree.  The files must be checked
+          out through a cvs account with write access and should be a
+          checkout from the release branch.  In this example, we are assuming
+          this is being done as a local user on openacs.org (which make the 
+          checkout and tagging operations much faster).

      Tag dotLRN. Since the dotLRN packages aren't all in one module, we iterate through all of the modules. Log in first (cvs login) so that you don't have to log in for each module.

          Note that we use the -F flag which will force the tag to the new version (just in + case someone has created the tag already on another version).
