-------------------------------------

At the INFRA-9093 they are asking what additional packages we need. I have added some. Would others please review.

Our documentation is here. It is a little out-of-date, but mostly still relevant.

-----------------------------------

The paths in ~forrest/config/*.sh scripts need to be updated to work in the new environment.

I'm disabling the forrest user crontab on the old zone at this time.

Brian M Dube commented on FOR-1251:
-----------------------------------

Be aware, the scripts in ~forrest/config are somewhat broken at the moment. Since it is a svn working copy, you can see what has been changed.

An approach for the future would be to source the binary paths from one canonical script or just ensure that $PATH enforces the correct choices when using bare binary names.

Brian M Dube commented on FOR-1251:
-----------------------------------

I had symlinked our vhost DocumentRoot /var/www to ~forrest/htdocs but the next automatic puppet run blew away the symlink and recreated the empty directory /var/www.

We can create a pull request to change our DocumentRoot in puppet, but what I've done for now is change the user:group of /var/www to forrest:forrest and 'svn checkout' the zone/htdocs repository there, with a symlink as ~forrest/htdocs back to /var/www. As long as puppet doesn't change the ownership of /var/www then I think this will work without a pull request.

Puppet does manage ownership of /var/www. So the proposed fix in my last comment will not work without a pull request.

David Crossley commented on FOR-1251:
-------------------------------------

Brian has started some initial work while the new machine was being set up (see some notes in INFRA-9093). He will now be away for a while, and i will also be busy.

If any Forrest committer wants to help, then i will set you up as a user after you add your SSH key via https://id.apache.org/

- created user forrest
- recreated ~forrest/ structure
- performed `svn upgrade` where prompted (note upgrade, not update, necessary because the working copy was so old)
- started to address the crontab and ~forrest/config/*.sh scripts

Do 'svn diff' in the various directories, and incorporate those change to our forrest/zone SVN.

- the active crontab from the old zone and the copy in svn differed, but I don't remember what the differences were

They relate to removing old log files once-per-day. Perhaps this could be simplified.

- I saved a copy of the active crontab on the new vm as ~bdube/cron.forrest
- there is also ~bdube/forrest.home.tar.bz2 because I didn't want to miss anything that wasn't captured in svn

Brian M Dube commented on FOR-1251:
-----------------------------------

For now I have created a symlink /var/www/forrest -> /home/forrest/htdocs with redirection in /var/www/index.html.

The links in ~forrest/htdocs are broken using this approach, but the pull request to modify our puppet configuration is proving more difficult than I thought.

The initial change we need is minor, a simple adjustment to docroot-related settings compared to the defaults ( https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache/tree/1.6.0#docroot-1 ). The problem is that this would be an incomplete solution without also managing the forrest role account through puppet. I've been hanging around #asfinfra to ask the best way to manage role accounts.

A few more changes in addition to that pull request and now we're in business.

-----------------------------------

Things are somewhat configured for user forrest_role now, with some uncommitted changes in ~forrest_role/config. A crontab is back in place but the forrestbot items are commented out. I can't tell what files are expected to be present for the run-forrestbot.sh calls to function properly.

Did a quick investigation on the server. Seems to be working. Well done.

I did a little clean-up. There was some remnants of an old "forrest-seed" site in ~forrest-role
probably the result of an old mis-configured run.
