I noticed that too this morning, I think it's a ripple effect going across the internet, CPDN has been down for almost 3 weeks now and the hadcm3n wu's take almost 2 weeks to crunch. Everyone is running out of work and switching to their backup projects, it probably slammed the server with hundreds if not thousands of crunchers switching over.

Repeat request that everyone please stop posting with their signature on in this thread. It's quite easy for you to do so.

To do so, when you make a post in this thread, uncheck the "Add my signature to this reply" and then make your post. Your signature will still be enabled on other posts, just not this one. You can also edit your post during an hour and take the signature out.
We ask that you post without a signature to keep the purpose of this thread clear: News about project outages, not about how many credits you have or what team you want us to join.
It's not that difficult to do and it gives the moderators even less work to do, as we don't have to remove your post. So please...

Yes, part of the site is back up. I also can access the message boards and my account page, but, the server status page is still inaccessible. Also the site is still not excepting trickles.

They've also asked to keep traffic to a minimum to make the fix quicker. I can't find a way to stop BOINC manager checking so I suppose they mean manual updates, server status etc....

You could suspend the project or manually suspend network communication (but that would affect all projects). There's also a way to block communication by adding a line to the Windows hosts file, but I'm not sure what the correct host name would be.

Looks like the situation is continuing to improve at CPDN - uploads of finished models, + downloads of new models now seems to be working (although the pool of available models will run out shortly due to massive pent-up demand, more are due to be generated tomorrow). Credit data may still take another day to appear (it is an overnight batch process).

Hi All,

Just to let you know that unfortunately we have just had a power failure on the main database server, Jonathan is currently looking at it. This means that all services are currently backed off. We have got the replication database server that can be switched over for such an eventually. Jonathan is going to first see if he can re-raise the main database server.

Hi Chaps,

I have managed to swap in an old PSU for the database server, and am currently checking that the database is OK.
So far, so good.

We have ordered a new PSU for the database server, which should be with us tomorrow.
As she is now running on an under-powered PSU, I don't intend to leave her running for long, so within an hour or so (certainly by 5 pm BST), we will be back offline.

She did have a redundant power supply, but both parts seem to have failed at once, or else one of them failed without triggering the usual alarms. C'est la vie.

I have put a news item on the main site.

Do you have the feeling that these forums don't load so good, or that (parts of) the BOINC web site on its own is slightly less available than normal? That's correct. The whole BOINC domain is being migrated to a new server at the same co-location that Seti@Home's servers have been moved to. It can take up to 24 hours for DNS to normalize and problems to disappear.

Unable to contact Asteroids@home. Seems to effect uploads, reporting and website. So pretty much all of it.

They are now back. Admin has posted a message saying their database server was overloaded. They have moved the Db to another one to get going.

Apparently they have another server on order so there will be a scheduled outage when they are ready to swap over.

It's back again.
It seems to have been some remnant from the server move this morning.

Apparently there was a power failure. They came back the day after.

Speaking of Asteroids@home, they have a scheduled outage to swap their server over:

New date of server migration is planned on friday 20th. It should start at about 07:30 UTC and supposed needed time is about 6 - 8 hours.
