Einstein appears to have come back.

...erm... just getting back to my shovel for a moment *pause to shake off accumulated wildlife* I'm beginning to think it disappeared at the same time my garden refuse reappeared in the form of a barricade outside my gate... instead of as a topping in a "half full skip round the corner".

Yes :\ I could be doing someone an injustice saying that, but as it would be the same person who found I have a "really quite stupid" button in the middle of my face whilst coping with one of the people who created it, and for which I paid for the privilege of having it pressed some fourteen hours before I opened my gate and found I couldn't get out of it until I'd returned the huge pile to where I'd originally put it, I don't actually care because its absence is just adding insult to injury now.

edit: I thought you'd all like a long sentence to contrast against the much shorter ones

You're welcome :)

Went down early and still down rather late in the day.

Yes as the home page had been up. Now what did they break?

4:44 PM PDT I came back from happy hour and they are still down but the home page is back.

Takes a bit longer to wash a sever methinks. Get all them dust bunnies out an all.

Ooops, just tried to get onto S@H, and the servers aren't accepting (website) connections :-(

Something is broken...

SETI@home | Scheduler request failed: Error 403
SETI@home | Project file upload handler is missing

You actually get

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/2.2.15 (Scientific Linux) Server at setiathome.berkeley.edu Port 80"

On the main page

And likewise "You don't have permission to access /forum_index.php on this server." - whatever page you try to access is reported back in the error message.

It started about 03:45 Berkeley time: this site is still up, and there's no sign of any planned outage on the IST page. So I'm guessing it's a breakage, not planned maintenance.

I believe that SETI has more servers than we're familiar with on the SSP, and one of the back-office ones has responsibility for managing the access levels for different classes of user to the rest of the farm. Hopefully, it's just this 'access control' server which has gone down, which reduces the work that will be needed to get everything back up again (perhaps just a simple reboot). I can't think of any other scenario which would deny access to the web server, the upload handler, and the scheduler all at the same time in the early hours of the morning.

Unless ET is getting p***ed off at having her privacy invaded?

You may, I didn't.
What I posted was a direct copy ... I may be a dumb Yank, but ctrl-C and ctrl-V are within my limited capabilities, thank you ...

Whoo the servers go down again and people are already geting stressed by it , seams like they have forgotten what it was like before the big move to the collo facility , life won't stop so DON'T PANIC :-)

Apache web server, where is my filesystem? I can't read my config files. Until I can read my config files deny all access.

SSH server, where is my filesystem .... now I can't be rebooted without a trip to the colo and you might as well bring along a spare drive and the backup with that page of paper with the magic settings.

I think we are down for a standing 8 count.

...and the trip to the colo isn't going to happen until someone crawls out of bed and dons some "decent" clothes (as opposed to going there in their birthday suit)

We are doubly blessed 2 outrages in a row.

Doubly-blessed? Are we going to go all the way tonight?

Just for informational purposes, I just got a response from Eric about the outage.

He says.....
We did a kernel update yesterday on the file server that contains the boincadm account and the SETI@home web pages. It looks like that server has crashed. Jeff is on his way to the data center to diagnose.


From the kitty news network.....
Meow.

Progress is being made, we've been upgraded to:

This site can’t be reached

setiathome.berkeley.edu took too long to respond.
