Some websites don't need publications and such and can use the simple Berkeley web template.

<h3>1. Get DNS Set up</h3>
<h4>eecs.berkeley.edu website</h4>
If the site is a .eecs.berkeley.edu site, then request a MX and A record by updating the eecs department host database by going to <a href="http://iris.eecs.berkeley.edu">http://iris.eecs.berkeley.edu</a>, then clicking on Forms, then <a href="https://iris.eecs.berkeley.edu/db/network/">System Update-Registration</a> and in the comments for the request section, enter:

<pre>
Please add a MX and A record for human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu:

human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu. 86400  IN      MX      5 moog.eecs.berkeley.edu.
human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu. 86400  IN      A       128.32.48.150

Thanks!
</pre>

<h4>berkeley.edu website (not eecs.berkeley.edu)</h4>
See <a href="https://nettools.net.berkeley.edu/pubtools/legacy/net/DNS/faq.shtml#hostfoo">Can I have hostname foo.berkeley.edu?</a>
<blockquote>
<p>Yes. Hostnames are provided on a first-come-first-served basis. Hostnames are generally assigned as part of a CNS work-order (installation). Requests to change a hostname or add an alias can be sent to hostmaster@nic.berkeley.edu. </p>
</blockquote>
So, email <a href="mailto:hostmaster@nic.berkeley.edu">hostnamster@nic.berkeley.edu</a> and cc root@moog.eecs.berkeley.edu:


<pre>
Please add a MX and A record for xxx.berkeley.edu:

xxx.berkeley.edu. 86400  IN      MX      5 moog.eecs.berkeley.edu.
xxx.berkeley.edu. 86400  IN      A       128.32.48.150

Thanks!
</pre>

<h4>.org or .com</h4>
See <a href="https://embedded.eecs.berkeley.edu/dopsysadmin/faq/58.html">Non-eecs websites</a>.

<p>Basically, on the hostname registrar, set up the A and MX records as above.</p>


<h3>2. Wait until the change is made</h3>
Typically, you will need to wait until the change is propagated to the DNS server.  To test, run dig:
<pre>
[root@moog human-cpswww]# dig any human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.6 <<>> any human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu

[root@moog human-cpswww]# 
</pre>

If the address has not been propagated, then the A and MX records will not be present.

<h3>3. Update the Apache configuration</h3>
After DNS has been updated, log on to moog and become root.

<p>It is easiest to search the Apache configuration in /usr/local/apache/conf and /usr/local/apache/conf/extra and make similar edits.

<ol>
 <li>Edit <code>/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf</code> and add
<pre>
&lt;Directory "/home/www/human-cpswww"&gt;
    Options +Includes +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</pre>
The above is necessary for Server Side Includes (SSI) to work.  If it is not present, then the web page will not get the decorations, it will just be text</li>

<li>Edit <code>/usr/local/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf</code>.  This file has <b>alphabetical sections</b> for the different websites. Here, search for a previous website like cps-forces, copy the text and paste it in.  The only change is to change 
<pre>
    ServerName cps-forces.eecs.berkeley.edu
    DocumentRoot /home/www/cps-forceswww
</pre>
to
<pre>
    ServerName human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu
    DocumentRoot /home/www/human-cpswww
</pre>
and
<pre>
 TransferLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog -l /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log_cps-forces /usr/local/apache/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access_log_cps-forces"
</pre>
to
<pre>
 TransferLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog -l /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log_human-cps /usr/local/apache/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access_log_human-cps"
</pre>
</li>
</ol>

<h3>4. Create the files for the website</h3>
You can either copy the files from another website or get them from <a href="http://www.berkeley.edu/webstyle/">http://www.berkeley.edu/webstyle/</a>.

<p>To copy the files, as root do:
<pre>
cd /usr/www
mkdir human-cpswww
chown cvs human-cpswww
chgrp cvs human-cpswww
chmod g+ws human-cpswww
cd human-cpswww
(cd ../cps-forceswww; tar -cf - .) | tar -xpf -
</pre>

<h3>5. Tell the server about the change to the configuration</hr>

<pre>
/etc/init.d/apachectl graceful
</pre>

<h3>6. Visit the site</h3>
Go to <a href="http://human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu">http://human-cps.eecs.berkeley.edu</a>

<h3>7. Problems</h3>
<h4>7.1 The website does not have decorations</h4>
We use Server Side Includes.  The html files must be executable for this to work.  Use 
<pre>
chmod a+x *.htm *.html
</pre>
<p>See <a href="http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemy/wiki/Ptolemy/PtolemyWebsite">http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemy/wiki/Ptolemy/PtolemyWebsite</a> for other hints

<h3>8. Add the website to the svn repository</h3>
We now use svn on <a href="http://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu">http://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu</a>.

<ol>
<li>There are various "spaces" for the different centers (chess, trust etc.)  Determine which space the repository should go into, then go to <a href="http://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu">http://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu</a> log in and select that space.
<i>If you do not have access to that space, ask Christopher</i>
</li>

<li>Create a new svn repository for the website:
Under Repositories, click add, then enter the name of the repo and select SVN, then click OK.
</li>

<li>Add the spaces-wide group so that it has read-write access.  Each space has a group with the same name.  For example, the trust space has a trust group.  
<ol>
<li>Click on permissions, 
<li>then on the right column, select the spaces group (for example, trust), 
<li>then select Read-Write, 
<li>then click the box at the top to select all the repositories, 
<li>then click on the assign button.
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

<h3>9. Check in the temporary files</h3>
Become the <code>vc</code> user check out the repo, copy the files in and commit them.

<p>Note that as this repository is in the trust space, we use <code>vc@truststc.org</code></p>

<p>If you are prompted for the password, use the secondary password (begins with a k).</p>

<p>If you are prompted to save the password unencrypted, then select yes.</p>

<pre>
su - vc
cd /tmp
svn --username vc@truststc.org co https://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu/svn/projects/trust/human-cpswww/
cd human-cpswww
(cd ~www/human-cpswww/; tar -cf - .) | tar -xpf -
svn add *
svn commit -m "Initial checkin"
</pre>

<h3>10. Replace the temporary directory with the repo</h3>
As <b>root</b>, we move the temporary directory out of the way and then move in the directory created above.
<pre>
cd ~www
mv human-cpswww /tmp/human-cpswww.bak
mv /tmp/human-cpswww .
</pre>

<p>To update the site, we will modify a php file and add a link so that if a user clicks on the link, then the update occurs.  Before doing that work, it is a good idea to test the command.  As root:
<pre>
cd ~www/human-cpswww
~www/bin/vc-svn --username vc@truststc.org update
</pre>
<p>Replace <code>truststc.org</code> with the name of the main website.</p>
<p>If you are prompted for the password, use the secondary password (begins with a k).
</p>

Then, fix the permissions:
<pre>
chown -R vc.vc human-cpswww
chmod -R g+wX human-cpswww
</pre>

<p>If the permissions are not fixed, attempting to update the website will fail, see
<a href="#svnlock">svn: Can't open file '.svn/lock': Permission denied</a>.</p>


<h3>11. Edit the php to create the link to update the site</h3>
<p>The way this works is that we create a special link
that checks to see if the user is admin in a particular
group and if they are, then invokes svn to update to the site.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.cps-forces.org/forcesadmin/faq/2.html">Updating cybear, gie and success Websites</a>
<li><a href="https://www.truststc.org/trustadmin/faq/16.html">How is the Hi-CoNS website maintained?</a></li>
<li><a href="https://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/roboadmin/faq/5.html">Updating the isaacs.io and augcog.berkeley.edu websites</a>
</ul>

<p>For trust sites (hi-cons etc), edit <code>~www/php/trust.eecs.berkeley.edu/group.php</code></p>

<p>For cps-forces sites (cybear, gie, success) and robotics.eecs sites (isaacs, aucgoc, edit
<code>~www/php/ucb/group.php</code></p>

<ol>
<li>Look for code like:
<pre>
    /* Perform pre-processing according to the authoring style 
     */
    switch ($groupinfo['authoring']) {
    case "cvs":
    case "svn":
    case "vc":
        // Do a CVS update if requested                                                                
      if ($Action == "cvsupdate"  || $Action == "svnupdate" || $Action == "vcupdate" || $Action == "vcupdate-augcogwww" || $Action == "vcupdate-cacwww" || $Action == "vcupdate-cybear" || $Action == "vcupdate-gie" || $Action == "vcupdate-success" || $Action == "vcupdate-isaacswww")  {
</pre>

Add the website to be updated to the <code>if</code> statement and below:
<pre>
            if ($Action == "cvsupdate" || $Action == "svnupdate" || $Action == "vcupdate") {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('$group');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-augcogwww" && $group == 'roboadmin' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('augcogwww');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-cacwww" && $group == 'roboadmin' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
     		$pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('cacwww');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-cybear" && $group == 'forcesadmin' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('cybear');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-gie" && $group == 'forcesadmin' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('gie');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-success" && $group == 'forcesadmin' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('success');";
            } else if ($Action == "vcupdate-isaacswww" && $group == 'isaacs' && user_ok($group, "admin")) {
                $pageinfo['script'] = "svn_update('isaacswww');";
            }
</pre>
Add your Action, group and svn_update lines above.
<li>Edit <code>~www/php/include/svn.inc.php</code> and add the repository.
</ol>

<h3>14. Try the URL!</h3>
Try the url and see what happens!

<h2>Problems</h2>
