Hi folks, sorry for the sort notice, but the server upgrade will be happening from Friday, and will continue over the weekend. I hadn't quite expected Bytemark to be so quick getting everything ready for us :) Further details on the blog - http://blog.cpantesters.org/diary/167 Please pass on to

Just to let you know the reports pull has now stopped, with the last report pulled from 06:11 UTC. The builder will now catch up, and as soon as the DB is as complete as possible, that will be moved over. I'm trying to avoid downtime, but you won't see any new reports on the site until the processe

Minor set back, the CPAN and BACKPAN mirrors were too big to fit on the SSDs with the web pages, so having to copy them over to the HDDs. Builders are up to date, only page requests getting added, rather than reports, so they're ready to go. Once mirrors have been copied and configured for the web/

Databases copied. Libraries (Perl & C) installed. Websites prepped. Now starting to switch cronjobs back on. Might have some hiccups getting all the mailers working, as I'm sure I had problems with them last time with reverse DNS. Prefs site may need to wait until later in the week, as I need to

I knew it was fateful to say it had gone well. I accidentally managed to break the indexing during a field list check :( Repairing table now, and also re-copying a fresh copy, just in case that would be quicker. More progress tomorrow. Barbie. -- Birmingham.pm - http://birmingham.pm.org CPAN Te

Not sure of the best way forward, so if anyone has suggestions, please shout. The index broke because I started a mysql shell, without the -A option. As a consequence it started a process to get the field list of the tables in the metabase db. As it was taking over an hour I CTRL-C'ed it and kille

Okay the field list on the cpanstats db completed, so I killed the repair, and recopied the metabase table. Now waiting for the field list to complete on the metabase db. Seems its not supposed to lock, but there is a bug in the current releases of MySQL where it does :( The reports pull is now qu

After a bit of a hiccup this morning, it appears the pull process from the Metabase is now working. I'm going to let it run unhindered this morning to give it a good run at catching up. It's currently 4 days behind, but its shooting through at the moment, so I expect it to be up to date in a few da

We hit problems with the newer Metabase code. It seems the latest version of Metabase has radically different internals, and isn't pulling back the reports as expected. However, it doesn't help that Amazon's SimpleDB has the most useless ordering mechanism I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

DNS has now been switched to the new server for Reports & Statistics site. I've also switched the Preferences site, however the SSL Cert hasn't been set up for that yet, so please bear with me, and I'll get those set up as soon as I can. Thanks, Barbie. -- Birmingham.pm - http://birmingham.pm.or

Everything is more or less back on track and/or catching up. Only the mailers are left to do for the cronjobs. I still need to test those, but all being well they should be running after tomorrow. SSL will hopefully be sorted at the weekend or early next week. Expect things to be a bit up in the a
