Still haven't formally solved the "mod" problem depicted in the previous note, but the workaround has been swapping which scheduler gets odd results or even ones every so often. Apparently bruno gets more hits than ptolemy, hence the slow polarizing effect. Interesting, but not worth any more of my time right now.

I sync'ed up bane's internal clock this morning to the rest of the world (why wasn't ntp working?!) but other than some uncomfortable warming up in room 329 (where bane/bruno/ptolemy/vader/sidious all currently reside) it's been doing well. Some complaints came up about php/apostrophes... Maybe this has to do with me reinstalling php on kosh/klaatu. In any case, despite helpful warnings I haven't seen any effect of this problem (and don't quite understand what the issue is). I did update some php.ini's this morning but please: any future complaints succinctly spell out what exact steps I have to do to recreate the problem (include exact URLs).

Thanks for the update Matt. Seems the apostrophe problem is gone, thanks. Keep up the awesome work, and once again thanks for all the updates.

well... for me I thought it was obvious... (hmmm, thats exactly what the user say when they call me to fix their workstation and I don't know what to fix... So I assume you're right!)

As Jeremy stated - it seems to be fixed.
That's what makes a good Admin - fixing it without knowing what's broken! LOL

Thanks for the good work!

Hi Matt,

Thank you for the update.

...I did update some php.ini's this morning but please: any future complaints succinctly spell out what exact steps I have to do to recreate the problem (include exact URLs).

- Matt


I noticed that some links on the main page are broken. Most of them (I didn't try all of them) point to setiathome.berkeley.edu while the server gives me response at setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu. For instance: the "Server status page" or "Message boards". Is this issue related to the update above or is simply a problem of my network connection?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Matt send yourself a red-x and include "quotes". You'll recreate the problem exactly.

Getting it now at 07:19 BST. Hitting setiathome.berkeley.edu on 208.68.240.18 if that helps. I also have a screen capture, which I've put here.

No need to, I've just got the \\' chars from just viewing this thread:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=37371#597788

For example, for the post after that:

Good thread folks. I\\'m new to the project, but I leave BOINC on all the time, my PC runs 24/hr a day 7/days a week. It\\'s linux based so it is quite stable and seems to be running BOINC quite well. Thanks for explaining here what the project is, where it\\'s going, and what the plan is! Great stuff and keep up the good fight!

One web server in the three there struggling with characters and for accessing the database?

Oh yes, those pages were unusually very slow to load up...

Good luck,
