Notes
- Please contact ChemIT Chemistry IT if you are creating your first research group web site within CCB.Chemistry.
- Your group's domain name will be set as:
New site
You are welcome to contact Chemistry IT and we'll coordinate with CIT to enable your Chemistry domain name on your new web site if it's a CU Blogs web site.
- Discuss your options and process if you choose to not use the CU Blogs service.
Alternatively, you may of course work directly with them using the appropriate portions of the "Migrating from your old web site" instructions, below.
Instructions for Chemisty IT staff
Choice one
Do most of it yourself, and can usually complete it well within a day:
1) Request that the CU Blogs folks (at cublogs@cornell.edu) enable access of the domain name the the specified CU Blogs site.
2) Once they've done this, you can create the CNAME using CU DNSdb. You can model it on the existing ones in DNSdb (using defaults), and it should be something like this:
View Name TTL Type Data
lastname.chem.cornell.edu 86400 CNAME lastname.chem.cornell.edu.c1140.campuspress.com
Once the above DNS takes (after the top of the hour), use a web browser and go to the above's long "Data" address. It should return this result when the redirect is working correctly:
---------------------------
<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
echo "OK\n";
---------------------------
Verify the CNAME works by using the web browser to access the desired address, <lastname.chem.cornell.edu>.
Choice two
Ask webservices to do both of the above parts, but that may take several (4-5?) days.
