Academic Web Server (Tiger) Being Retired

The Web server which is known as both "Tiger" and academic.scranton.edu will be officially retired on July 28, 2011, due to its operating system’s end-of-life. Nearly all of the official web pages/sites of our academic departments and programs that previously were housed on the academic server (Tiger) have been migrated to the Web Content Management System (CMS). A transitional Web server is being set up for departments, clubs, and individuals that have not yet migrated their Web sites to the CMS. 

  • The web directories of departments, organizations and clubs that fall into this category (i.e. not in the CMS) will be moved to the transitional server, but if your department is in the process of moving to the CMS, you should try to do so by July 1, 2011.
  • Individuals (faculty/staff) who wish their web directories moved to the transitional server must send an email request to Connie Wisdo (wisdoc1@scranton.edu) by July 15, 2011. In your email request, please specify the URL of the home/index page of the site(s) you need moved.
  • If your department has some pages in the CMS, and others remaining on the academic server, please send an email to Connie Wisdo (wisdoc1@scranton.edu) by July 15, 2011 specifying the URLs of the pages you need moved, or better yet, move them to the CMS!
Thank you!
