Planned power outage for December 10th, at 6:30-6:50am

There will be another power outage on campus December 10th at around 6:30am-6:50am. The server will go offline at about 6:25am, and, hopefully, be back online at about 8:30am or sooner.

Update: the power outage was over by 6:38am. WeBWorK server is up and running as of 8:45am.

Power outage

We had a power outage in Menomonie, WI and on UW-Stout campus today. It looks like power was out between 4:39am-6:27am for the server, with another planned/emergency power outage at around 7:30-7:36.

There were some issues with WeBWorK database due to the first power outage, so I took the server offline at 7:25am until about 9am to recover database. It looks like a few indexes got out of sync with the actual data in the database due to some interrupted operations - that was fixed by 9am today.

New SSL certificate

Thanks to support from Math, Stat and CS department at UW-Stout, our WeBWorK server got a brand new SSL certificate. The new certificate should now be recognized as a valid certificate which, in turn, should eliminate browser warnings.
