Dave Case has kindly lent a good deal of time to helping me proof the new
website, but after some hours spent we are ready to have a broader audience
look over the new page before it rolls out. My preference would be to make
the new site public by the beginning of next week, but this is of course
pending Case's final approval and meeting any other issues raised by the
community. We will be doing some final touch-ups ourselves.
Developers can do
git clone gitosis.git.ambermd.org:/amber_web your_directory
cd your directory/
git checkout NewFormat
to make a local copy of the webpage. Then, download the XAMPP program from
https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html. Install the program
(superuser will put it under /opt/lampp) and open its control panel, then
start Apache and MySQL. Finally, copy (do not merely ln -s for links,
actually copy) all files from your_directory/ into /opt/lampp/htdocs/ to
situate the web site in a spot where an Apache server (your XAMPP
installation) can read it. Open your usual browser and type
"localhost/index.php" as the URL. The new site should come up for you and
let you explore around. If you get taken to parts of the site not
currently under renovation, you'll have to use the Back button until it
goes live.
Please send your final thoughts and requests. (No shame in updating the
branch yourself!) I will return to Rutgers on Thursday.
Dave
