20021219: Change to Apache on unidata2

Jerry,

I have several comments and a question related to the machines currently
requesting data from sunshine, so please slog through this entire email.

>I noticed that apache did not restart on unidata2 after the boot on Monday.
>After looking around a bit, I also noticed that there were some older
>versions of apache config files/installs.  I moved the old ones that I
>found to apache.old directories, and symlinked the new ones in their place.

>I also set it up to start apache on boot.

Sounds good, thanks!

>The neartime idd directories are also now available via ftp as user XXXXXX .
> .. with the old password.

Excellent.  What is the possibility of users being able to request a
load of old Unidata-Wisconsin imagery and access through the urequest
directories?

>I also set up ADDE to access the neartime directories ... GROUP IDD ... tried

I took a look at this as soon as I saw your message.  Would you mind if
I changed the set of descriptor (and possibly group) names to match
what I have people setup on their own systems?  For reference, the
list of datasets that people are used to are:

DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES ADDE.UCAR.EDU

DSINFO I RTIMAGES

        Dataset Names of Type: IMAGE in Group: RTIMAGES

DSINFO -- done

There are several images in this list that will not be in the one
on unidata2, of course.  What I have in mind is:

        Dataset Names of Type: IMAGE in Group: UWIMAGES

Name         NumPos   Content
------------ ------   --------------------------------------
ANTARCTIC     9999    Antarctic IR Composite
EDFLOATER-I   9999    Educational Floater
EDFLOATER-II  9999    Educational Floater II
GE-IR         9999    GOES-East North America IR
GE-VIS        9999    GOES-East North America VIS
GE-WV         9999    GOES-East North America H2O
GW-IR         9999    GOES-West Western US IR
GW-VIS        9999    GOES-West Western US VIS
GW-WV         9999    GOES-West Western US H2O
MDR           9999    Manually Digitized Radar
MOLL-IR       9999    Mollweide Composite IR
MOLL-WV       9999    Mollweide Composite H2O
RESFLOATER    9999    Research Floater

(RESFLOATER hasn't existed in several years, but I have thoughts about
reactivating it)

and the following would need to be created by compositing:

GEW-IR        9999    GOES-East/West IR Composite
GEW-VIS       9999    GOES-East/West VIS Composite
GEW-WV        9999    GOES-East/West H2O Composite

Also, I have been thinking about adding the CIMSS images to the list of
ones that would be archived, but I have not made any mental commitment
to that yet.

The other things that are needed are an expansion of the POINT and GRID
servers to allow access to data files that do not follow the MDXXnnnn
and GRIDnnnn naming conventions.  If this were available, historic
MD and GRID data could be easily served.

Any comments you have on the above would be most welcome.

Lastly, can you jump onto sunshine and get a listing of the sites
that are currently feeding/trying to feed data via the IDD?  I would
generate the list from a combination of:

<login as 'ldm'>
cd ~/logs
grep topo ldmd.log* |  awk '{ print $7 "\t" $8 }' | sort | uniq

and

netstat | grep sunshine.ldm | awk '{ print $2 }'

With the complete list I/we will know who needs to be contacted to
move feeds off of sunshine and onto unidata2.

Thanks...

Tom
