16. The static web site at
https: / / www . SAILDART . org

On a static web site every URL request retrieves a static flat file from a disk file system, without framework template substitution processing, or database retrievals. The static SAILDART web pages does exploit SSI, the Server Side Include mechanism; nevertheless the quantity of possible SAILDART pages potentially available is staggering.

2012 note: The https://www.saildart.org is a static web site on an Apache2 server. It lives inside a file system container called the Large Corpus (see T-shirt sizes) mounted at /Large2012 on a multi disk raid mirror.

2013 note: It is now April 2013, and I need to write down a brief description of the 2012 SailDart bird-in-hand so I can replay the conversion batch scripts and make a new improved static web site as well as generating more database table CSV files for dabbling with dynamic site implementations and to find interesting content for general publication, for one-to-one communication, for personal insight, or for redaction to the far future when all the first generation bio carbon based human SAIL people are dead. 2014 note: Yet another cycle of the static web site will be attempted to provide improved pagination, source code highlighting and more internal anchor cross reference links. 2015 note: Changed the top page to include slots for the re-enactment, reunions and the annual draft copy of this book as a PDF. 2016 note: Drastic reduction of the set of pages on the web site by removing the individual password protected user areas. It has been over a decade, this functionality is nearly worthless. 2017 note: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. 2018 note:

Exercises

1. Do something useful with the Apache logs.
2. Replace Apache with Lighttp and/or Nginx.
3. Add style sheets and markup for source code coloring.
