[ISG News] Web server upgrade - step 1
by Christian Herzog 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Web server upgrade - step 1' After 11(!) years of loyal service, the current D-PHYS web server hardware will be retired in 2019 and all web sites hosted by ISG will migrate to new hardware. We will take the opportunity to reorganize the way we host web sites and improve the general setup of the web server. In a first step, we will migrate the 'personal' web sites (those residing in public_html/ in a home directory or group share) on Wednesday, 17.7.2019. We have extensively tested the new setup, and unless you're using dynamic content in your public_html folder (like PHP or other CGI scripts), you should not notice anything. With CGIs, there's a slight chance we might have overlooked something, so please test your dynamic content after that date and get in touch if you see a problem. The regular web sites hosted by us will be successively moved to the new hardware at a later time and we will get in touch with their owners should it be necessary. Note that this will not affect the department website in any way as that one is hosted on the CMS of Informatikdienste.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Home server maintenance on Tue, July 9, 17:00' In order to guarantee sustained performance and availability of our storage system, we schedule a maintenance downtime of our home directory server on Tuesday, July 09, starting at 17:00 This only affects the home shares (technically: smb:\\home.phys.ethz.ch & /home/USERNAME). Email and group shares will have no interruption. Since the server also needs a file system check, the downtime will take several hours. For emergency cases, there will be read-only access to last night’s backup as described here . We will update this posting once the home server is back online.
