Comments on the following newsitem http://cosmologyathome.org/all_news.php#33

Due to this the xml stats export is being done on the new server url http://cosmologyathome.org

Yah, I'm getting this message in BAM:

1/24/2008 10:07:09 PM|Cosmology@Home|Scheduler RPC succeeded [server version 601]
1/24/2008 10:07:09 PM|Cosmology@Home|You used the wrong URL for this project
1/24/2008 10:07:09 PM|Cosmology@Home|The correct URL is http://cosmologyathome.org/

Willy- server status here must be using the old url as it shows offline when it is indeed online.

According to the thread in that forum the old URL will start working again today. To prevent loss of work I will not change the URL BAM! uses to the ex-www URL. Somewhere in the next hours things will work as usual.

Willy -there is something wrong somewhere as the dns refresh happenned 24hrs ago ...BAM users are complaining in the como forums they can't connect and your server status shows offline

http://www.cosmologyathome.org/ should work
http://cosmologyathome.org/ should work



http://cosmos.astro.uiuc.edu/cosmohome/ will no longer work ever


Thanks-JR

Debian always seems a little slow to respond to DNS changes and I haven't found the Linux equivalent of ipconfig/flushdns.

Ok I understand however there would be no loss of work as all work created before yesterday has been cancelled and will be aborted by the server upon contact -JR

In that case I'll make the switch

Something I have noticed is that Cosmology in the
http://boincstats.com/bam/project_sign_up.php
page says that "the project is down"for the 'Last attempt" column, so I cannot use BAM to attach/manage Cosmoloy.

Willy,
Don't know if you've made the switch, but I'm not getting any credits awards for Cosmo.

My current credits on their site is 27780.
BOINCstats shows me only having 27480, and has been that way since 1/24.

Mark

The BAM URL switch has absolutely nothing to do with credit statistics.
