Support #3267
Updated by Matt Gold about 10 years ago
Hi All, When IT does its next planned maintenance on June 20, we will be able to direct the Commons to a custom maintenance URL, but we won't be able to do that for people with mapped domains. We should write to all of those people with two points: 1. An alert about the upcoming maintenance and planned downtime; 2. A note that if they want visitors to be redirected to the custom maintenance page, they should follow these directions: -- change their DNS records to substitute a CNAME recordècommons.gc.cuny.edu for the A record è 146.96.128.200. This could be a permanent, one-time change. I've just shared the spreadsheet with you. Scott, if you could draft an email with Boone's advice on #2 above, I will send it out from the Commons address. Let's see if we can get this done by next Tuesday the 17th. Thank you. I was wondering whether you could alert people who are running domain-mapped blogs on the Commons about our coming planned downtime. We should probably keep a contact list of people running domain mapped blogs on the Commons anyway. Boone, can you please get Scott a list of domain mapped blogs?
