Volunteer supplied posts about project outages will continue to appear here. Please keep it on topic, post as much about the project outage itself or return of the project only. Want to have an in-depth discussion? There's a whole forum outside this thread that you can start a new thread in.

May we please ask that when you post, to do so without adding your signature? With thanks.

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...

A new thread. This time I will enforce that anyone posting with his signature on will have his post removed without remorse. If you find that you don't have to follow the request to not post with your signature in this one thread, then I don't think you have anything to say that others need to read.

And really, in the case of branjo, a 3 word sentence with a signature that takes up 3/4 of my 23" screen at 1920x1080 pixels? What were you thinking?

As such, everyone is twice warned now. No need to quickly post your message. It takes one extra click to not add your signature to this reply, must be less than a second. You have no excuse that you didn't do so, or after mistakenly posting couldn't come back and edit your post to take the signature off.

Apparently Orbit@home is rising from the dead:

orbit@home is upgrading!

We are upgrading the orbit@home server. A new version of the system should be online in fall 2013.

SETI and SETI Beta are both down

It surprises me that this site is up. Doesn't Boinc also run off the UCB servers?

[edit]
Oops, sorry, forgot to turn off my sig right after reading the rule about it.

Same location, same power supply (it was down earlier), but a different server. And without such a complicated back-office network of linked database and storage servers, much easier to re-start cleanly without human intervention.

The cause for the electrical shutdown, was a campuswide power outage and transformer explosion.

Just got work from physics in last hour and web site is up and running. so it is UP, maybe it is just your computers or ISP having problems accessing them.

Since early this morning none of my browsers can reach it and tests say the site is down.

BOINC also says it is down:

01/10/2013 1:36:18 PM | physics@home | update requested by user
01/10/2013 1:36:20 PM | physics@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
01/10/2013 1:36:20 PM | physics@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
01/10/2013 1:36:36 PM | physics@home | Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name
01/10/2013 1:36:40 PM | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
01/10/2013 1:36:42 PM | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.


It's strange I have no problems reaching any other website or project.

Sure we're talking the same project?

http://www.physicshome.tk/physics/

I've even tried through a proxy server which bypasses my ISP.

Edit: Further tests - the website is down. I think you are not talking about the same website.

Message 50721 - Posted: 1 Oct 2013, 18:10:46 UTC - in response to Message 50720.  

Are you using the new project address (http://physicshome.tk/physics/)?

If yes, try clearing your computers DNS settings:
  1) Open a command line window. (Windows key +R) then type in "CMD" without the quotes.
  2) On the command line type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes.
  3) Close the command line window.
  4) Wait about 1 minute and retry communications/updating project within BOINC.
If no, Have you detached and re-attached to project since they changed the server signing key about 2 days ago (was done about 1 day after the new web address went live)?

If that does not help, you might need to stop BOINC, wait a minute or two and restart BOINC and try updating the project again.

If all else fails feel free to post back here.

Yes I had already reattached the other day.

No luck and now I can't reattach because the communication failed. I tried 3 separate "is it just me or is that site down" - type websites and all of them say it's down and they are dotted all over the globe.

This is very strange.

Perhaps you could do me a favour and tell me what this post says on their forums. It's an answer in a thread I started which I last accessed last night.

This looks like having been the state at QMC@home for at least the last 36 hours:

LAPSED-02

14075 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:53 PM Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
14076 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:53 PM Reporting 1 completed tasks
14077 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:53 PM Not requesting tasks: "no new tasks" requested via Manager
14078 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:53 PM [sched_op] CPU work request: 0.00 seconds; 0.00 devices
14079 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM Scheduler request completed
14080 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM Server error: feeder not running
14081 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM Project requested delay of 3600 seconds
14082 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM [sched_op] Deferring communication for 01:00:00
14083 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM [sched_op] Reason: project is down
14084 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM [sched_op] Deferring communication for 03:29:20
14085 QMC@HOME 10/2/2013 1:16:56 PM [sched_op] Reason: project is down

The result file did upload before this, and the 3600 second delay request by server suggests that pieces are working, but at least not the scheduler and the feeder... no new tasks coming, when work fetch is allowed [switched off, since it want to pull 400,000 seconds of work for 8 CPUs].

edit: 8 cores occupied by the currently available CMN jobs is actually about 400,000 seconds "per task" and that's too much.

This looks like having been the state at QMC@home for at least the last 36 hours:

The website has no direct link to it, but the server status page does exist and it tallies with what my work requests are being told:

08-Oct-2013 22:24:40 [QMC@HOME] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
08-Oct-2013 22:24:40 [QMC@HOME] Requesting new tasks for CPU
08-Oct-2013 22:24:41 [QMC@HOME] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
08-Oct-2013 22:24:41 [QMC@HOME] Server error: feeder not running
