Hosted Apps Update: Retirement Delayed

TL;DR: The Hosted Apps service has been given a few more months to live. See the Hosted Apps Retirement status page for ongoing status updates.

Several months ago we announced that the Hosted Apps service would be retired.
Hosted Apps was a service that we offered, where various third-party apps (WordPress, phpBB, MediaWiki, and so on) could be used in conjunction with the standard tools offered by the core SourceForge platform.

We’re currently sorting through a scale-up of capacity for the project web and project DB services, and increasing scaling in our LDAP directory infrastructure. As this work, and testing of the platform with modern app revisions, is not complete, we are postponing the end of life of the Hosted Apps offering.

We will continue to update the Hosted Apps Retirement status page as we have more information, and ample notice will be provided when the new end of life date for the Hosted Apps service is announced.

Project Database Downtime 2012-11-27

Greetings,

The Project Databases for the Project Web will have some downtime for hardware maintenance tomorrow starting at 16:00 UTC on 2012-11-27.

This downtime will be a 12-hour rolling outage, with less than 60 minutes downtime for any given project.

The ability to update mysql passwords will be disabled during this entire window, and any password change attempts during that time will be processed after the downtime is complete.

Various SourceForge services down – UPDATE, all services restored

Greetings,
Starting at 12:59 UTC today, we experienced a site outage, causing general connectivity issues sitewide. At 15:12 UTC, site connectivity was restored and most services, including downloads, are now back online. Some services are however are offline while we continue to diagnose and determine the root cause for this issue. The services still offline are:

  1. Project web (ie., projectname.sourceforge.net pages) and associated shell and database services. This also includes access through sftp, scp, and rsync via ssh. – Project web is back online.
  2. Source Code Management repositories on Classic SourceForge platform. Repositories on the new SourceForge system are online. – code repositories are back online.
  3. Hosted Apps. – Hosted Apps are back online.
  4. Download Statistics updates, historical data is online, but updates aren’t running. No statistics are being lost. – Statistics updates are running again.

We will keep this post updated as we continue to diagnose and turn these services back on. We do not have an estimate for when this will be complete, but getting this resolved is our top priority right now.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this.

Best Regards,

Project web upgrade

Greetings,

We’ll be moving to an upgraded environment for Project web 21:00 UTC today. This will upgrade various packages, though php will be staying on 5.3, so many web-apps shouldn’t need updating. Python for cgi scripts will be upgraded to 2.6 as the default, with 2.7 available (2.4 will no longer be supported).

If you have any issues after this is complete, please let us know: http://sourceforge.net/support

Best Regards,
