527524 - Set up new "staging" site for www.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Need a staging site set up for www.mozilla.org work.

URL needs to be http://www-stage.mozilla.org/.

Directions:
1) Checkout http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.org/branches/staging from SVN to some directory
2) Copy includes/config.inc.php-dist to includes/config.inc.php and edit appropriately (pretty sure only $config['server_name'] and $config['file_root'] need to be set)
3) Add cronjob for front-page feed parser. Example would be: 
*/10 * * * * root cd /data/www/www.mozilla.org/includes/; ./feed-parser.php -c ./feed-parser-config.xml 
4) Add apache vhost (can just copy www.mozilla.org from production and s/www/www-stage/

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

What's your time frame for this?

A week or so... No particular date, but it's also one of two P1s for www.mozilla.org, so two weeks at the most, if at all possible.

Based on my experience, I estimate that this will take ~15 min. or less to set up, if that helps in your planning.

We already have a www-stage.mozilla.org, based on http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.org/trunk

Is this sufficient? If not, we'll need to discuss nomenclature for the domain name.

trunk is the production site, so I guess www.mozilla.org and www-stage.mozilla.org are identical currently. This should make setting up the staging site easy. So, try the following: `svn switch http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.org/branches/staging` within the www-stage directory. Also, I still would like to make sure that the vhosts for www.mozilla.org and www-stage.mozilla.org are identical (besides the names/paths/etc.).

Updated to revision 55942.

I replaced the existing vhost config with a copy of production.
