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.

WeBWorK server might be unavailable tonight

WeBWorK server webwork.uwstout.edu might not be available tonight to anyone accessing the server from off-campus from 8pm Monday, September 27th until 8am Tuesday, September 28th due to some work being done on fiber connection, as was announced via email:

Campus Internet Outage

Off-campus Internet network resources will be unavailable from 8 tonight, through 8 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 28.

This outage is due to fiber maintenance being performed in the Eau Claire area.

Update:

This just in from our network administrator:
The fiber will be cut (and connectivity lost) at 1:30am Tuesday September 28th. Ours [Stout's] will be one of the first pairs reconnected. They expect the work to be completed on our segment at approximately 3:00am Tuesday September 28th, no later than 6:00am

Move is complete.

The move seems to be complete. The webwork.uwstout.edu server got a new ip address, and seems to be operational.

MSCS Department is Moving

Our department is moving into a newly constructed/remodeled building, which means that webwork.uwstout.edu server might go offline for a couple of days at any moment. More details will be posted when available.

Update: we've moved the server yesterday into the new building. Since there is a scheduled power outage for the whole weekend in the new building, the server is not available now. It should be back online Monday, August 23rd sometime in the afternoon.

Campus Network Outage: 10pm July 29th through 5am July 30th

From UW-Stout Telecommunications and Networking:

Due to a fiber-backbone move taking place in Eau Claire, the campus will be without internet access from 10 p.m., Thursday, July 29, until 5 a.m., Friday, July 30.

I expect webwork.uwstout.edu to be unavailable during that time as well.
