    If this was an announced outage, I don't spot it. (Edit: thanks, Richard, the announcement was right there in News, and I even saw it at the time. A senior moment, I guess. Still maybe not a bad idea to have an active thread here in Problems, in case someone stops by wondering.)

    The last time one of my hosts successfully updated was just about two hours ago.

    Currently host update requests generate a "project is temporarily shut down for maintenance" line in the messages (currently termed "event log" in recent boingmgr version)

    The project server status page I usually check returns a simple page stating "Project is down
    The project's database server is down. Please check back in a few hours."

    Reporting still appears to work, and the forum behavior and user account pages seem pretty normal.

      UWM networking maintenance

      Quote:

      There is a need to upgrade the networking equipment at UWM and we want to do so before the new Web site launch. As a result, the Einstein@Home project will be down on Monday July 25, 2016; starting at 1300 UTC. That's 1500 for most Europeans and 0900 for East-coast North America. It's our hope that the network downtime will be less than 20 minutes.

      During this time the Einstein@Home project will be off and the Web site will be unavailable.


      Probably wise for them to lighten the load on the database while they do that, to prevent broken transactions.

          All seems well now. (my hosts started getting useful update responses the better part of an hour ago).

          (Personal note: in the summer of 1969 I was a co-op student at Bell Labs Holmdel, working in the TSPS department. One signal in the system was named the "All Seems Well" pulse. I thought it a fine name--lacking the presumptuous of more common names that rashly proclaim "all is well" or such).

          (Edit: according to Shawn's post is News it is officially OK)
