Database Maintenance Update

We had to perform some critical database maintenance yesterday.

The good news is that all Ohloh services are now back online. Also, the database updates should yield better performance for the ohloh website.

The bad news is that it required rolling back our database to our last backup, which resulted in losing a few hours of updates to the site. Our apologies for this.

As usual, contact us if you're having any problems.

I'm trying to create a project that I had created Friday morning, but I'm getting an error trying to do that.

I'm getting the same error as everyone else, but it's when I try to download any project.

Also, my project (OpenGroove) shows that it was last updated 3 days ago. Usually, it barely goes to one day before updating. I'm not surprised at the 3 days, since the downtime and the older database backup would do that. What I'm wondering is, any estimate on when my project will be updated?

For that matter, it would be nice if each enlistment in a project had some sort of indicator that displayed where it was in the queue of projects to be updated. This could give users a rough idea of when the next update will be.

Thanks for your patience everyone -- the project edit error has been fixed. Let us know if there are any more problems.

Hi Alexander,

It typically takes us about 48 hours to update every project. You're right: because of the database upgrade this weekend we are running an extra day or two behind.

I went ahead and scheduled a fetch for OpenGroove, so you should see an update this weekend.

There's a status page you can look at that will give you a rough idea how fast the project update queue is moving.

Heh, never saw the status page before. That's just what I need. Thanks.
