Migrating from your old web site

Migrating from your old web site to a new web site based on CU Blogs is easy but requires some coordination.

1. Confirm your group's new web site on CU Blogs is ready for production (public consumption).

2. Contact CIT Webservices <webservices@cornell.edu> to do the domain name transition.

Include your group's CU Blog address and your group's domain name (which points to where your old web site is). Example:

=======================
Subject: CNAME CU Blog change request

 Hello,

 Please make the appropriate DNS and blog configuration changes to change the blog at <http://blogs.cornell.edu/groupname> to get pointed to by <http://groupname.chem.cornell.edu>.

 Please let me know if you have any problems or concerns on this. Thank you!

 =======================

3. Confirm the cut-over worked.

4. Your old group's site is still accessible via the same WebDAV address your group used to edit it in the past. You just will not be able to see it via a web browser.

5. Once you have confirmed all is working correctly with your new web site, contact ChemIT so we can coordinate the shutdown of the group's old web site (likely hosted at CIT's Static web site service) with your group, and  make sure you have the files you want.

  • You may request a copy of your old site from ChemIT, if it was hosted at CIT's static web site (as most were).
  • Once everything is confirmed with you, ChemIT will then tell CIT Webservices to shutdown, disable, and destroy the old infrastructure for your group’s old static website.
