Planned outage: 4am Monday, March 14th through 9am Tuesday, March 15th

There will be a power outage in Jarvis Hall at UW-Stout starting at 5am Monday, March 14th due to some construction-related activities. WeBWorK server will go offline at 4am and most likely stay offline until about 9am Tuesday, March 15th

Intermittent network issues

There seem to be intermittent network issues in Jarvis Hall Science Wing at UW-Stout, where webwork.uwstout.edu server is located. The network connectivity was unreliable since 7am this morning and the issue (if there is an issue) still appears to be unresolved.

Update (March 10th, 5:20pm): it looks like a defective switch was causing the connection issues. That should be fixed by now.

Issues with WeBWorK and Perl

It appears that after the recent security upgrade of Perl (backend of WeBWorK) a lot of WeBWorK problems started producing errors.

Stout's WeBWorK server will be offline today starting at 12:15pm while the issue is being resolved.

Update: server should be back online and operational as of 2:44pm, January 25th.

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
