The TV web server is back up and running. We actually ended up having to install RedHat because there weren't any SuSE drivers for the RAID controller...long story short, after more than seven days I believe our server is finally in tip top shape. For now. We've already had several RedHat OS updates to install, and getting php recompiled and talking to the KU Oracle database was no small feat. In fact, it involved an army of people including Jeff Long from Academic Computing Services, Rory Petty (our hero), a friend of Rory's, Bryan (our former programmer) and my husband. It was Jeff that finally got our server to talk to the database.
Now that the server is back in business and the site has been restored, we can get moving on the redesign. If you check the site today, it will greet you with the new KUJH logo and "We're coming back soon." Barring any new diasters, the brand new KUJH-TV web site will launch August 22. School starts in a week, students and faculty are starting to slowly appear. We look forward to a new year full of new and exciting developments in the Multimedia Newsroom. As always, stay tuned...
