[MOBY-dev] It's worse than that... she's dead, Jim!

[Mark Wilkinson]

Well, Moby Central is dead dead dead!  We're not sure if it is a hard  
drive crash or a motherboard problem, but regardless, it doesn't look  
promising.  I'm waiting on the definitive word from our sysadmin for how  
long it will take to fix.  If it's more than a day or two, then I guess  
this makes the migration decision for us!

I'm swiching the redirect on biomoby.org to point to the server in Calgary  
right now.  If you have CVS updated your Perl libraries you will  
immediately start using the new registry when that happens.

To migrate Taverna, edit the taverna/conf/mygrid.properties file to point  
to the new MOBY Central:  http://moby.ucalgary.ca/moby/MOBY-Central.pl

Gbrowse-moby is also running on the new server:   
http://moby.ucalgary.ca/gbrowse_moby

There will be a variety of things that *don't* work - e.g. the registry  
encyclopedia, etc. but I think most of the core functionality is available  
on the new machine already.  Of course, almost all of *my* services are  
going to be dead, since they were running on that machine.  I'll try to  
get them running again ASAP.

I'll keep you all updated throughout the day, and hopefully we'll know  
enough to make a final decision tonight.

Best wishes!

Mark
