[CollEc] CollEc App Offline

[Düben, Christian]

Migrating the app on February 01, 2021 is fine with me. However, I have a few requests regarding the migration.

1. Can you give me root access on Helos, as you did on Darni?
2. Can you temporarily redirect collec.repec.org to app.collec.repec.org on the day of migration?
3. Can you set up a test URL again, e.g. test.collec.repec.org, with which I can test the app on Helos on the day of migration?
4. After migrating CollEc, I still need the ras_mans_texts xml file in /mnt/helos/home/icanis/icanis/opt/input to be generated once a day. It is the central input to the results available via the web application.

On Darni, the web application does not consume a lot of computational resources. After migration, there is going to be plenty of space for further RePEc services on Helos.

  It runs at this beacues it calculate the values using my techology.

  I suggest we fix a date, say 2021-02-01. On that data I stop the calculations,
  move file to a legacy server space on helos, and make them avalibale at
  legacy.collec.repec.org. Then you can take over. 

  helos is a faster machine than darni.

  I suspect that's the main problem with it,

  Aronud RePEc, rothing ever gets done fast.
