            Bug ID: 122794
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: www seems to exist only on the live disk
           Product: Infrastructure
           Version: current
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: Forums
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I updated /var/www/index.php (seems to be a link) in response to a request from
andrea.

I expected to be able to commit the change to svn but it seems the forum
changes are not stored in svn. 

Looking in /x1/backups (where rsync collects data for the backup center) showed
that only the database is being backed up daily.

The runbook for the vm, does not describe how to restore our changes to the
forum www in case of a disk crash



I recommend that:

1) all files changed in www are added to svn:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/machines/vms/ooo-forums.apache.org

/etc and /var/lib/phpBB is already there.

The advantage of using svn over backup, is 
a) files are static, only changes when the admin does it
b) there are no version history in the backup

2) update the runbook
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/docs/services/ooo-forums2.txt

so that others than the administrator can reestablish the system in case of a
crash.

There might be another backup procedure in place (the administrator will know
that), if thats the case the runbook should be updated, so new changes are done
correctly.
