Boinc.stats seems to be ok but it has not been updated since yesterday.

and of course you can go here
but it is not sorted by rank.

I noticed that the seti synergy site was down about 6 hours ago.

Still not updated according to the main page:
Status BOINCstats server:
idle
Last update BOINCstats:
2004-09-20 18:41:47 GMT

But I just hit the Seti Synergy and it is back up but has not been updated for quite some time, also. Should update soon. It seems to update at various time intervals.

Mine are still alive and kicking...

Seti's XML stats have been emptied out again. Any site that tries to download them will just wipe their database tables. Just checked now, it seems the user and team xml files are back, hosts are still missing.

The ISP for BOINC.dk decided that they wanted to change the "static" IP without warning... So there will be a little delay untill I find out what the new IP is and change the domains to reflect the info.

Hmm. Odd. I recieved some credits on sah yesterday, and soon after boincstats reflected that change - both in the overall boinc and the sah parts. Strange.

A very big ironic thumbs up to your ISP :-D

As tiker pointed out, berkeley gave us some crap XML files. The contents of the teams file looked something like this:

&#60;?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
&#60;teams>
&#60;/teams>

Since it was a 'well formed' XML document, my parser went ahead with the database update, wiping the tables clean but then didn't have any data to re-insert. I thought I had put in a check to make sure this wouldn't happen again but it seems to have failed. I shall have to re-check my code on that one...

As of right now it looks like the teams file is correct but the users file is incomplete. It cuts off in the middle of a user record (right in the middle of a tag actually) and only has about 18,000 users in it and it isn't gzipped as it usually is. I don't know what is going on but they really need to change their XML generation script so that if something goes wrong, it either just leaves the old ones in place or just deletes them entirely.

I would also usually have backups to resort to in such a situation but until today the machine I do my nightly backups onto was down so no help there either. If someone in the Berkeley area could go over and give them a swifth kick in the server, that would be great :) And while you are at it, go over to the swiss at LHC@home and kick them too until they turn on their XML :)

Ok, it's up again using the new IP...
BOINC.dk isn't affected by the weirdish XML exports that have happened lately (using a different technique than most other stats site) but it means that stats for this project (obviously) won't be updated whenever the files are corrupt. If the files are only partly corrupt the stats will only be partly updated etc.

It would probably be safer to issue updates rather than wipe the table and start over each time... but it is easier this way :)

Anyway, it looks like Berkeley fixed their XML while I was asleep so we should all be back up and running.

My hosting provider just informed me that they disabled chron jobs on my server. This way all automated updates on my server don't work anymore. They also were able to get the site down for over 2 hours today.

I think that's a way of telling me I have to leave.....

So if anybody knows a good hosting provider, with fast servers, a good backbone, a good price and that has no problems with a bit of cpu-load once a day: please post their URL!

P.S. I updated BOINCstats manualy, so stats are OK!

Hosting? wazzat? I'm running out of my bedroom on a residential cable connection :) Hence the port 5520 (port 80 is cox blocked). Of course I just now started doing any kind of images on my site so my bandwidth requirement was pretty low. If it goes up too much, I will have to relocate as well. (7.5 GB/month upstream cap) I think I have several options from people on my team who run various servers so when the time comes, it should be pretty painless.

But that sucks that they just cut you off like that. No warning? What are they conerned about? CPU usage, bandwidth, storage space... of did a goon from the government come out and say it would be best not to be associated in any way with such crazy people as BOINCers? :)

Hi Bikkel, one that I host a couple of sites on (although not as ambitious as yours) and have been quite happy with is Netfirms. I don't know if they would meet all of your criteria, but I would suggest checking them out. I have found them to be quite easy to deal with, economical and reliable.

(edit) I guess I should give you the URL :

www.netfirms.com

(/edit)

The server that hosts BOINCstats and also the Apache module crached several times. I don't know if they had this problem before I was there. Fact is: it always seems to crash when my major update runs.

Last week when it crashed they blamed it on high cpu-usage, but when I asked, it wasn't me, I was just a small player.
Today it also crashed (again during my update). This time they disabled chron-jobs. The warning came afterwards.

If it isn't me, then why does it crash everytime during my updates?

Another problem I have, that a lot of time my update-script just stops in the middle of the script, without error. This looks like a 'little' crash, maybe the php module?

Anyway, I've already written some emails to other hosting providers, and I'm switching asap.
