Oh, I thought you were going to do a VirtualHost for cota.csulb.edu. > I apologize if I wasn't clear in my original post, but > http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cota is to be the permanent resting place for > the website. cota.csulb.edu is to be depreciated so I have no reason to > keep that alive. OK, so you'll be doing redirects on server I until the admin comes back, then do redirects on server P under VirtualHost for depricated hosts (www.)cota.csulb.edu from then on. Your choice. If you are allowed to do VirtualHost on server P, then I don't see why not keep (www.)cota.csulb.edu alive. It's more flexible for you since it allows moving the site to other servers in the future. In fact, if I were the lead admin there, I'd even mandate that for every department, just to give ME the flexibility to move things around between servers (as well as allowing departments to take over their sites onto their own servers any time they wish). OTOH, if they have such difficulty doing a service restart (not rebooting the whole machine, but just a "service apache2 restart" or equivalent depending on OS), then I can see how making each department a directory is easier (the whole web server won't be down for 3 seconds just to add a directory). But then, how often are new departments created? -- sHiFt HaPpEnS! --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
