[Fwd: [UCIMC-Tech] Urgent -- Database access for UCIMC site]

[Josh King]

Sure, I just think Dan's been really busy lately. The site was 
originally moved to mango.electric-pickle.net to relieve stress on the 
IMC's systems, because mango.e-p was all ready to go. The intention was 
to eventually move the site to mango.chambana.net, which is a virtual 
server running on mango.e-p, but mango.chambana.net needs to be 
completely wiped and re-installed as it is (due to being somewhat 
screwed up from a previous Acorn client project), and that's kind of big 
job. So I think the site was just left on mango.e-p for the time being 
because it worked and it wasn't an issue. Even I don't have an admin 
account on mango.e-p, because I'm not part of Electric Pickle. But I'll 
be happy to set up a scratch area for you on a different server if you 
let me know what you want and need (i.e. fresh drupal install vs. import 
of old imc site, drupal 5.x vs. 6.x).

I have access to the site on mango.e-p, but I have neither the 
privileges or the authority to add additional accounts. So if Dan got 
hit by a bus, I could set up the site somewhere else, but I can't grant 
others access to it where it is now.
