To state the obvious, I've gotten the almost-latest version of [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin] installed here.  I'm using this wiki as an opportunity to test the proposed new scheme for scripts, where every virtual host script request is proxied to use a `~username` URL.  The benefit of this is that Apache suexec has special support for `~username` scripts, which prevents us from needing to give users subdirectories of `/var/www`.  This seems to be working now, with only the annoying problem remaining that MoinMoin uses absolute URLs, reverting to the uglier `~username` form.  Hopefully I can fix this, and also implement some infrastructure to help us take advantage of the centralized "wiki farm" support in the latest Moins. --AdamChlipala

I've installed domtool from [http://hcoop.sf.net/ CVS].  It was remarkably easy to get the basic stuff working.  The only changes so far have to do with our switch to Apache 2 from Apache 1.3, which required using a different directive to indicate which user and group suexec should use for a vhost. --AdamChlipala

Since we had two disks in the server, and the other one was unused (simply mounted on /backup), I repartitioned
it, installed new Debian GNU installation on it (using debootstrap), compiled the kernel, and successfully
rebooted into it on the first try!

Then I went to move the installation to /dev/hda, thereby replacing the stock setup we got from InterServer.
Evertyhing worked fine, and then I went to set up software RAID-1. I made a minor mistake in lilo.conf, 
and the server didn't want to boot properly. We filled in a Support Ticked at InterServer's site, and in 
2 hours, John Quaglieri booted the system from the CD, fixed lilo.conf and even performed one additional 
step regarding RAID-1. I was impressed by his support.

Our new server is ready to go at [http://interserver.net/ InterServer].
