UWS Moving Towards a CMS

By Dr Chris P. Jobling

July 13, 2004

At at meeting of the web strategy group various options of CMS were discussed. University is pursuing a tender from each of the following:

RedDot
Percussion
TerminalFour

Also mentioned wais an open source alternative OpenCMS which runs in a Tomcat+MySQL context. We hope to have a demo of the OpenCMS system in LIS later this week.

In related news I installed Tomcat on eehope (my new SuSE 9.1 Server). Installation was via YaST and very smooth. It took some time to discover the right settings for the server (see Webserver Log Entry for Today) but now have a running demoserver at http://eehope.swan.ac.uk:8080.
