Thinks to do before going live

[rk]

This ticket is to remind us about things to do when moving the site to the deepamehta server and going live.

[rk]

• Edit robots.txt to allow crawling.

[Malte]

Migrate "News" from old website into new Website. Per News Item on the old website, create new "News" contents on the new website. see also #164

[Malte]

Is it easy to move a drupal "Site" to a new server? I am in contact with the server-administrators, what should we take care of?

[rk]

It's easy. See ​http://drupal.org/requirements for system requirements. PHP Memory should be at least 64MB (32Mb is the minimum for Drupal7 Core). We need an scp or ftp access. We need a database and a dbuser for drupal. We'll install a minimum version and then migrate everything with the backup and migrate module (and scp/ftp).

• Check for dead/absolute links.
• Change email addresses: site-from, notifications, updates

[rk]

• install SSL-certificates for all fqdns

[Malte]

deadlinks will be to find on monday in at least the following places:

• 2 news views/ blocks linking tp "all news"
• applications view / linking to "all plugins"
• Login / Register (may be also absolute links)
• broken images in the news block when it is shown on pages which are more deep than 2 "/" deeper than /content/* - e.g. search result page

i can take care of this. but relative links do not work in any case, cause these herementioned elements can show up on any place of the website and thus need always different relative links.
dunno better.

• Who is notified of newly created user accounts? (I am not.)

[Malte]

see alos "hilfe zur website" page (de/en) in user menu for new users ​https://deepamehta.vzsze.de/de/content/hilfe-zur-webseite

• create mailbox account website@…
• identify 1 responsible person, making quarterly shifts on this mailbox to: activate users, coordinate community users publish needed content and translations, publish content

[Malte]

should be one mailbox for all coordination tasks, see also rk`s comment above on change mailboxes: from, notifications as well as module and webapp updates.. that they get done from somone.

Replying to Malte:

deadlinks will be to find on monday in at least the following places:

• 2 news views/ blocks linking tp "all news"

Found and fixed one.

• Login / Register (may be also absolute links)
• broken images in the news block when it is shown on pages which are more deep than 2 "/" deeper than /content/* - e.g. search result page

Fixed.

• applications view / linking to "all plugins"

Couldn't find this.

i can take care of this. but relative links do not work in any case, cause these herementioned elements can show up on any place of the website and thus need always different relative links.

They should work, if you put a / in front of the URL.

[rk]

• create dynamic Quote Block

[silke]

Hi, there are some new security updates. Rolf, can you take care of them before going live?

[rk]

Security update:

I created separate tickets for all tasks not already done.
Closing this Ticket.
