One issue I see with the automatic update is that we're subject to spam being automatically propagated to our main web site.

True, although looking at http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/ signup.action , I notice that Confluence uses a word-image human- detector, which I think is usually pretty robust a keeping spambots away. Since we've been using the same system so far for the OpenJPA incubator pages and haven't yet seen any spam, maybe we can wait and see if we run into any problems, and if so, we can look into forcing a user to run a script to do the update.

Also, the chain of Confulence Autoexport -> ~jefft rsync -> /www/ openjpa.apache.org rsync -> Apache webserver rsync can mean that hours can pass between a change being made to the wiki pages and them showing up on http://openjpa.apache.org/. While this is unfortunate from the standpoint of not getting instant editing gratification, it also means that there is some time to review the Confluence "page changed" e-mails before they wind up going out on the exported front pages.

So far so good.

Thanks for handling this.

One issue I see with the automatic update is that we're subject to spam being automatically propagated to our main web site. If we leave the mprudhom cron job off we are more in control, although it would mean we would have to remember to rsync the site whenever one of us made a change to the wiki that we wanted to propagate to the main web site. But it would give us a chance to fix the errant wiki pages before they were published to the world from our official site.

OK, I've set this up. The system is basically the same as the convoluted setup for exporting to the old incubator.apache.org site:

1. My personal crontab runs /www/openjpa.apache.org/RSYNCSITE.sh (it would be nice to have an "openjpa" user so this isn't tied to my personal user account).

2. RSYNCSITE.sh runs: rsync -a /home/jefft/public_html/confluence/ openjpa/* /www/openjpa.apache.org/ (note that /home/jefft/ public_html/confluence/ appears to contain an automatic sync of all the confluence exported sites, so I didn't see any need to set up an additional one).

3. Once the stuff is at /www/openjpa.apache.org/, some other process (unknown to me) seems to periodically sync that directory content to a place where it actually shows up at http:// openjpa.apache.org/ .


I've also set up redirects from all the old html pages from http:// incubator.apache.org/openjpa/ to go to http://openjpa.apache.org , so links should be redirected appropriately. E.g., if you do to:

  http://incubator.apache.org/openjpa/downloads.html

you should be redirected to:

  http://openjpa.apache.org/downloads.html


Please let me know if anyone runs into any problems with this.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Can you make sure you can edit the people.apache.org /www/ openjpa.apache.org directory (need to be in the openjpa unix group) to facilitate your work later?

All the committers should be in the unix openjpa group already but this is part of the migration so it might not be set up yet.

Hi Joshua,

I would appreciate some help here. I have no time to troll through
all other Apache web sites looking for models.

Is there a quick 1-pager on how to symlink the OpenJPA confluence web site to be our www web site? Or another project that does so with a
public www/projectnamehere that I can model?

Sorry, but your confluence guys need to come up with the procedures yourself. I don't use confluence. I can only tell you what is required
to have a reliable, maintainable apache infrastructure.

But you can probably use the instructions from
http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/
just replacing the ~jefft location with the location under
/www/confluence-exports.

Joshua.
