Stanmore Trip 11 Nov 09
Justin made his way up to Stanmore to try and deploy the current ‘release’ of VRIC on the final production server, and also to get a copy of the previous databases.
VRIC Deployment
The SQL Server database installed without a glitch, and so the VRIC software has a place to store the trial data. Sadly, the battle with IIS was less successful. Justin was unable to get the install of IIS to serve up the VRIC website. The server would just return HTTP 404 errors instead, even when requesting a simple static HTML file. Using the internal webserver that is part of the Django development ‘kit’, the site was visible and could be used.
Justin is to write a document explain what the requirements are for installing and configuring the VRIC software, this shall be sent a IT guy at Stanmore who hopefully well be able to get the site up and running. Otherwise Justin will have to make more trips to get this working.
Extracting previous databases
This was managed without a problem, Justin has the SQL scripts required to build the databases on Soton local systems. These shall be checked in to SVN for all project members to access. The schema of this databases will be review and a method for combine these with the VRIC database shall be developed.
Trials of Life
We now have documentation from Simon on both RCT and Student trials so these can be implemented in the system. Current we have got the old ORBS trial type and student trial done. Work on the over all governance has started and is a work in progress.
