Thread: DHEP future

  1. #1

    DHEP future

    Dear contributors,

    Due to the fact I will soon be leaving the lab I'm at, and will have no permanent abode for quite a while, DHEP will have to be shut down. This is UNLESS someone would like to host it. I am willing to cooperate with this person to set it up and keep it running.

    Hi IronBits,

    If you want to look at being the primary, I think I can act as an emergency/secondary backup if needed. Would need much hand-holding in order to get the thing setup etc. Have sent a PM to Miguel regarding the situation.

    Cheers,

    prok

    Miguel,

    I hope the hosting problem can be resolved soon so that this worth-while DC project can continue... however, in the mean time could you please update the main website and News section (and maybe take stats offline), to reflect that the project is down until further notice. (Purely for the sake of public relations!)

    Regards,
    Andrew

    He asked if we could load up the Java Server software for him.
    I asked Bok if he would handle it ...
    I haven't heard back from Bok yet.

    He has not sent me anything yet...

    I hope it wasn't from the mail problems
    I'll see if I can dig it up... actually, can you install the Java Server stuff IF he gets back to me?

    Hi Bok, IronBits;

    So what's shaking in the DHEP world? Noticed that the stats page is back up and the project appears to be running. Will it be transfered to another site?

    I have no clue what is going on.
    He never responded to my last email message.

    He just sent me another email, asking the same thing, so evidently, my last response never made it to him.
    I responded to him again, asking that he expidite making up a .tar file and any instructions, send it to me, or provide linkage, so we can get it up and running asap for you guys.

    Progress!
    I just recieved a large chunck of it.
    Bok is busy installing on the new server as I type this.

    He didn't mention which Java was needed, so Bok is going to start with Sun ...

    I don't know how many more pieces he needs to send me before the project is up and running once again...

    I hope the new Dual Xeon 3.6GHz Nocona CPUs are up to the task.

    And thanks to Dyyryath when he put Gentoo 64 on it.
    He gave me a backup routine that mounts a 2nd spare drive, then copies all the important stuff to it, then unmounts it to keep it protected.
    It's on a large UPS, and my DSL service has been very reliable for the past 4 years.

    Hopefully we'll be good to go soon.

    Update

    installed the db + tables and users no problem.

    configured the software no problem

    sun jdk is masked for Gentoo right now so instead of forcing it I tried

    1. blackdown 1.4.2, no go, many many errors on starting the server

    2. ibm 1.4.2, less errors but still many

    I'm presuming it's not compatible with anything but Sun but will wait on a response before going any further?

    Miguel?

    IB, can you email miguel too and let him know

    Great work, thanks for your efforts and the nice server box.

    The project was down last night my time - was that the server being swapped over?

    Bok has been busy installing the java server part, and there are some problems.
    I don't know how long it will take to get it working yet...
    I think Bok said he has to install the X server stuff...
    why java needs X is beyond me.

    Hang in there...

    Dyyryath stopped by and did some 'stuff' on the Server today.

    Waiting on Bok to take a look to see if it's good to go now

    so we are getting closer...

    Master Dyyryath to the rescue!
    Jeff has taken more time out of his busy schedule to put his back into it.
    He spent a good deal of time on the Server last night and sent me an email.
    I've got the server updating all of the installed packages. I'll check
    on it's progress tomorrow. Once that's done, I'll install the necessary
    X libs to make your DHEP server work correctly.

    Not a word, since his last message saying he was in a motel room and on dial up, and he would check out the server part and get back to me.
    He did say the client was able to fetch and send results tho

    And?

    Any news?

    I just found this subject and am amazed that no email was sent. Is Miguel so fed up with this project that he didn't bother to tell some 2000-3000 contributors to his project what going on?

    Is this project dead? :

    is Miguel gone hiding?

    Or has this all been a joke?
    Don't Panic!

    Well~ as I understand it Miguel has finished his PhD, so officially the project (at Surrey University) has finished. However, I think Miguel wants to carry this on- but remember: it's in his own personal time, and the objective of the project are his own. I wish Surrey Uni had gone to a postdoc, or another PhD at least to continue this excellent work. I have decided to switch to BOINC- which now has many worthwhile projects.

    All very nice, why didn't he tell us?

    Is this too much to ask, from an academic, these days?
    Don't Panic!

    'HitchHiker'- before you get too frustrated, remember this is just my understanding (I could be wrong). However, the info I presented is based on postings from this forum so Miguel did tell you (in the vaguest sense).

    See here and the first post of this thread!

    I know he's on the road, and rarely has access to the internet...

    He sent me all the files to install the Server on Jan. 18th.
    We (Bok + Dyyryath) just got it working (we think) about a week ago.

    Waiting on miguel garvie to let us know if we done well ...

    From his 1st original post
    and will have no permanent abode for quite a while
    Hang in there ...

    News update!

    Hi Ironbits,
    I've been away recently, just moved to New York for 4 months. Unfortunately I can't access my web mail at the place I'm working at but I should be able to log into servers and try and get dhep running on your servers.

    Hi guys,

    The dhep server is working!!
    What was needed was the mysql jdbc library in /jre/lib/ext and now its working on blackdown.
    He uploaded stage2 files, Bok should be able to get that done soon, or I'll attempt it tonight when I get home.

    Only 1 more step to go after this!

    Ok,

    just read the messages. Seems simple enough. I'll have to create a virtual address for now in apache, perhaps dhep.dbestern.com ?

    IB, do you have DNS set up for all xxxxx.dbestern.com ?

    Anyway, it'll have to wait until I get to the hotel tonight

    Bok
