COMPLETED - Planned outage 14-15 nov
There will be a planned outage of the FDCPS project server at the end of this week. 14-15 NOV.
The purpose of the outage is to relocate the project to a new server.
Preparations have been made to make this as simple for the participants as possible.
If your llrnet client config file is addressing the server as 'primesearch.free-dc.org' then you should not need to change anything.
In order to minimise any errors we have shortened the knpairs file on IB-7773.
The pairs that have been removed are ready for your clients on the new server.
IB-7773 will be run dry (ETA 13 NOV), allowing your clients to empty their cache and the server to capture the last of the results from that port.
At that point your client will become idle.
Just leave your client running and when the DNS change is complete, it will resume normally.
Once the project DNS change is implemented your client will begin picking up new work from the new server.
The project DNS change may take 24-48 hours depending on the rate of refresh of the DNS cache of your ISP.
Exceptions:
1) If the client config is set up to address the server by the IP address, you should change it to the project server name instead 'primesearch.free-dc.org'.
(Refer to the "How to get started" thread)
2) If you are running the client under Unix/Linux and have added the project server to your hosts file you will need to update your hosts file with the new IP address.
3) If you run a local DNS server / cache you may wish to force a DNS update
Any changes to this release will be posted here.
Thank you for your patience during this change.
