These are the steps I took to create a new web server instance, which lives in AFS space and is based on uber . You should be able to follow these steps to create a new server instance. You'll need AFS administration access, kadmin access, the ability to create (or request) a DNS entry, and root access on every system you will be modifying.
These instructions apply to web servers that will host core services (things like myUMBC, spaces, webadmin, etc), which live under /afs/umbc.edu/admin/www. If you're just looking to create a public web space for someone (/afs/umbc.edu/public/www),
Request or create an IP address and DNS entry for the new server.
Create an AFS volume to house the new server. Consult with an administrator to determine the server and partition to use. Use vos partinfo to see a list of available partitions with free space. Example:
3. vos create -server bfs1.afs.umbc.edu -partition /vicepe -name admin.
No matter how sophisticated the technology is , It still takes people !
