We will be expanding the storage for one of our databases on Monday, December 10, beginning at 15:00 UTC. We anticipate that the work will take approximately one hour.

During some of this time, volunteers will not be able to upload or download new work, and some parts of the website will not be accessible.

Because of the Christmas and New Years Day holidays, our weekly outage will be on Wednesday rather than the normal Tuesday both this week and next.

Einstein@home, I know they had some downtime for today, but they had said work was to be over by 10:00CET and it is well past. Work is flowing but the website is MIA. Any news?

This outage looks different from the usual to me.
The server status page at https://einsteinathome.org/server_status.html responds normally.
a ping to einsteinathome.org gets a normal response.
but using http://einsteinathome.org in the browser address bar gets:

Proxy Error
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.
Reason: Error during SSL Handshake with remote server

Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Server at einsteinathome.org Port 443

So I'll speculate there is an Apache or Debian configuration error, not an actual down server.

Now the top level at einstein.org responds with an outage page, saying the website is down for maintenance and that they hope it will be back up soon. I'll take hope that at least someone knows there was a problem.

... they hope it will be back up soon. I'll take hope that at least someone knows there was a problem.

'soon' was over 2 hours ago so, although they know of a problem, it looks like they don't know how to solve it :-).

At least the work continues to flow.

Posting here as the GoofyxGrid "Monkeys" NCI project is having major server issues (again) :(

Hoping someone can get a message to GoofyxGrid or he is reading the forums here because there is almost no way to get to the project web site to report issues.

Takes forever to load a web page and/or:
1) Web page start to load and eventually time out with no error messages;
2) You get a "SERVER ERROR 500" - Server Time out message.

Universe has been up and down over the last week or so. At the moment, it is down.
And sometimes even when it is up and work shows as available, it won't be sent. So they are having server problems of some sort.

CPDN database servers are off-line again.
Trickles are not uploading and CPDN web page says database is down.

A lot of nights recently (UK time) the servers have shown as down for an hour or two. Trickles for some model types still getting through.

WCG - Planned Maintenance on Tuesday, January 8 (4 janv. 2019)
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=585

We are updating the storage system on our servers on Tuesday, January 8, beginning at 15:00 UTC. We will be applying an important storage system update to our servers (and) anticipate that the work will take approximately four hours.

CPDN offline:

Hi all,

I will be taking the project offline at 4pm (UK time). This is in order to switch over the master and slave relationship of the two database machines.

Best regards,

Andy

And back!

Hi all,

This action is now complete and the project is now backup and running again.

Best regards,

Andy

"GeorgeM, the machine that holds the data that you download, decided that it was time to verify that the RAID array is in good shape. That will slow down disk access until the verify procedure is complete. The main effect is slowing down the rate at which work can be created. It's likely that we'll run out of work in the next hour or so. Things should recover automatically when it's done." (30 Jan 2019, 3:33:02 UTC)

And a few minutes later, https://www.cpdn.org shows the message

Testing 123..

This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page it means that this site is working properly. This server is powered by CentOS.

Keep it on the backburner =:)
