IRIS Website Offline Tonight for Server Migration

by

The IRIS website will be offline for about 30 minutes this evening (Wed Feb 06) in order to redeploy parts of the site using the [Mongrel](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org) HTTP server.

Currently, the portions of the site written in Ruby are being served using fcgid, which isn’t the most stable option. The switch to Mongrel will bring more stability to the site and be faster to boot!

The IRIS website server (iris.eecs.berkeley.edu) was rebooted at around 11:40am today, due to unforseen complications arising from the emergency network outage at 10:40am. Immediately prior to the reboot, you may have been unable to log in to network or roster database applications, and experienced a general slowness problem. IRIS staff apologizes for inconvenience.
