Changing the Front Door for a Metalib Downtime
In the event of a downtime situation for Metalib outside of normal business hours - the Databases & Article Searching link from the Library Front Door should be changed to the backup server. During normal business hours contact WWDCS to make this change.
The Library's homepage is \usr\web\htmldocs\yulhome.htm .
Modifying the Page:
1. E-mail notification the page is being modified.
2. Create a copy of the page in the same directory - cp yulhome.htm yulhomeDATE.htm . (DATE = date of modification)
3. vi yulhome.htm
4. Locate the text 'Articles' .
5. Change the link for Metalib to: http://sfx1.library.yale.edu:8331/V
6. Save the page
7. Test the link and check the page for correct display!.
Note: Do not FTP the page off of the web server to make this change - you risk the display being modified - use VI on the server.
