Text of email to Chemistry research groups with static web sites, from CRCF. These sites were moved from A&S's web server to CIT. A&S's web server is being turned off. |
Greetings from CRCF,
As we had emailed last month, your group website has moved from the webserver space provided by the College of Arts and Sciences to Cornell CIT’s Web Hosting service. All the files that were on the previous Arts and Sciences’ webserver were moved to your new space on the CIT webserver.
What has changed?
Your old group website address – <old website address>
Your new group website address – <new website address>
Faculty are reminded to update their group website link at VIVO so updates to the Chemistry Website Faculty Profile pages will be done automatically.
Anyone who attempts to go to the old website address will automatically be forward to the new website. The amount of time that this forwarding will be done has not been set in stone. Where possible, please change as many links as possible to reduce your future dependence on this automatic forwarding.
Access to the files is limited to authorized individuals with their Cornell netid and their Cornell netid password. There is no common username and password. Each individual with access will use their own Cornell netid and their own Cornell netid password. Access rights are discussed below in #3.
The address to solely edit your website is now via the WebDAV protocol: https://static-webdav.kproxy.cornell.edu/«Instance_name»/ ( Please be aware this is not editable via Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari and will simply come back as unauthorized if you attempt to open this address via a web browser )
For example: instead of providing Dreamweaver with https://static-webdav.kproxy.cornell.edu/ccb-baird/, provide Dreamweaver with https://static-webdav.kproxy.cornell.edu/ccb-baird/baird/
«Admin1» «Admin2» «Admin3»
Users can verify their modify rights by going to https://static.hosting.cornell.edu:8009/status and attempting to login with their Cornell netid and Cornell netid password. They should be provided the status of the websites for which the user has modify rights on.
If you need to add, remove, or change the authorized users, please contact chemweb@cornell.edu.
Who to contact for future questions or concerns?
Email: chemweb@cornell.edu
While you are free at any point to contact CIT for support if you want to, it is in your best interest to contact chemweb@cornell.edu first. Mostly likely chemweb@cornell.edu will have the answer faster for you and will be more able to speak to individual Chemistry needs than generic CIT answers.
