Were you expecting to find the eThemes or Newsy website?
Sorry for the inconvenience, we added an SSL certificate to the site this morning and the change has sent some users to this site instead of eThemes or Newsy. Restarting your computer should solve the problem and allow you to visit the eThemes site using its URL http://ethemes.missouri.edu or the Newsy site through its URL http://newsy.missouri.edu.

Starting in early July SISLTweb took over responsibility for the College of Education’s websites and server (coe3.missouri.edu). If you need help updating your website, have questions about the Cascade Content Management System (CMS) or need a server account and database please email, call or drop by 105 London.
All of the SISLT sites and applications remaining on iats-coe1.missouri.edu have been moved to the SISLT server.
Beginning late January we will start moving SISLT properties off the College’s server coe3.missouri.edu and onto SISLT’s server. We’ll be contacting account owners to arrange a time that works with everyone’s schedule. If you’d like to be at the top of the move list please let us know! Email SISLTWeb
The old College of Education server iats-coe1.missouri.edu was taken offline December 26, 2008. All of the SISLT sites and applications hosted on iats-coe1.missouri.edu have been moved to SISLT’s server or the College’s new server coe3.missouri.edu.
If you’re unsure if your site has been moved, or where it currently lives, email us and we’ll help you figure it out.
Some of you may be getting an unexpected error after uploading php files to the server and trying to access them from the web, this is suPHP in action. suPHP is a piece of security software that prevents hackers from uploading a php script to your site and running that script under your URL. There have been a few instances of this in the past, mostly advertising pharmaceuticals. However, this type of attack could be used for more nefarious purposes such as stealing user names and passwords from unsuspecting MU people. It’s easy enough to make a site look like an MU site, but if a phisher can upload their code to our server, and run it under one of our URLs, users have no way of knowing that this is not a real MU site.
In short, suPHP makes our sites a little safer.
Using suPHP, however, means that any php files on the server must be owned by the same account as the www directory they are being served from. For instance if I upload a php file to the SISLTweb www directory then that file needs to be owned by the same account that owns the www directory, in this case sisltweb.missouri.edu. This means that you will have to watch out for file permission and ownership issues with your php files.
The best and easiest way to upload files to the server is using a Windows share. You just need to create a connection to your account’s share and then drag and drop your files into the share, doing so will automatically set the correct owner and permissions. You can connect to your account’s share by going to: \\sislt-tc1.missouri.edu\[domain name] and logging in with your PawPrint and password. For more detailed instructions please see the Connecting to a Window’s Share on the SISLT Server article.
Our new server is up and running, with the first account (sisltweb.missouri.edu) added this morning.
We’ll be working with SISLT faculty, staff and students over the comming months to get accounts moved off of the CoE servers.
