Details

Has alias of computing.gatech.edu

Database = d8_cc-prod on sarge.

social_share module may be acting wonky.

Dev tips: may need to remove "/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt" from database (delete cas_cert from variable table) for Local cas login to work.

Development of Drupal 9 version happening on robot-test.cc.gatech.edu VM.

To make mounted esperanto directories work, you must make these changes:

  1. Add the following line to the apache config file: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.shtml
  2. remove code from /etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir.conf
  3. systemctl restart httpd.

You will know that esperanto is mounted by this file: /etc/auto.coc. If it exists, there’s a good chance it can mount esperanto.
