An external vendor delivered a new static marketing site written in PHP. Info sec team wouldn't let us install mod_php on the publicly facing servers and the vendor needed more time/money than the budget and timeline allowed to change it. A coworker stood up a local server and wrote a script to periodically crawl it and push changes out to the publicly facing apache servers. It might still be there for all I know.
- lulmerchant 9y agoWe did something a lot like this recently when marketing demanded a wordpress instance.
- nikisweeting 9y agoThats actually not so bad imo, it's fairly common to build a site in wordpress just for the CMS, then convert it to static HTML periodically and rehost it straight from CDN edge servers.
- time0ut 9y agoDefinitely not as crazy as some of the other posts here, but it felt like a hacky work around for something that probably wasn't really a problem.
