MPKB:Server

from the Macalester Public Knowledge Base

Jump to: navigation, search

MPKB.net runs on a http://bluehost.com server with 4GB of storage space and daily badwidth limit of 5GB.

Both mpkb.org and adelantemac.org are automatically forwarded to this address, in particular mpkb.org, because the .net TLD is not a familiar one to college students.

This page serves as a basic maintenance clearinghouse and a memo to remember future to-do lists relating to the server.

[edit] Budget

  • $166.80 has been paid to maintain the server from 2005 until May 2nd of 2007 using MCSG funds assigned to ¡Adelante! as capital funds. See Adelante/Budget/Spring 2005.
  • Given that there are 5 add-on domains, were 5 other organizations/groups to join, the cost could be lowered to $21.30/year per group, each with independent domains, from our current $83/year ($166.80 + $8.88/domain x 5 x 2 years (our domain is included in the plan) / 2 years.)

  • the original adelantemac.org server (100mb/2gb) server is already contracted until December 2008. any recycling ideas?

[edit] monobook.php

these codes should be added to the monobook.php every time mediawiki software is upgraded, unless you keep the monobook.php files, but it's just easier to overwrite the file than checking for any new committs to monobook.

[edit] Capacity

Badwidth 
as of May 2005, the site receives 150 visits and uses 30MB of bandwidth a day. Traffic originates primarily from the United States (in particular Macalester) but some connections are caught from the European Union and Mexico. The large bandwidth allowance implies, that transfer speed allowing, the site could host streaming video for conferences in the future.
Storage 
80MB of storage have been used, which split as 20MB in images, 30MB in MediaWiki database (primarily edit history) and the rest in CivicSpace and the MediaWiki software. The 30MB is excessive for just four months of low-traffic editing; it is expected that version 1.5 of MediaWiki, scheduled for release on June 1st of 2005, will introduce a more efficient database schema.
