You have PM
We can work something out I'm sure.
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.
Miguel
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
IronBits, any news on this yet?
You did ?
I haven't seen anything from you on that????
Bok
Sure.

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?
Any chance of an official update?
Cool!. Thanks for doing this IronBits.
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
Bok
Excellent news! Can't wait to get my computers evolving
Thanks for the update. You guys rock
I'll get on when I get to the hotel in a couple of hours
Bok
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.
Any news? Twitching to get evolving...
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.
Andrew
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!
Andrew
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
Hang in there ...and will have no permanent abode for quite a while
He uploaded stage2 files, Bok should be able to get that done soon, or I'll attempt it tonight when I get home.miguelgarvie wrote on 02-17-2005 06:28 AM:
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.
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
