[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Mediawiki still down.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, We definitely have all the files and backup for the Wiki but have not been able to restore it to a good working condition. As you saw from the latest e-mail, I asked for help so they can install a virtual machine for us, and we can repopulate the databases and be happy people. If somebody wants to volunteer to help update the mediawiki by asking on the IRC channels, etc. let me know.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Virtual machine request.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear LSDiv support, (With copy to my group, so they know what is going on) I am in dire need of help. Last Monday I upgraded my desktop machine from Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 and basically "destroyed" my mediawiki (all the knowledge of the group for 14 months) configuration. I have all the relevant backups, but upgrading to 1.7, the new version in Ubuntu (from whatever version came with 6.06 LTS) is not working. Probably the best long term solution is if you can create for us a virtual machine with Ubuntu 6.06LTS in your VM server. That could be our group wiki server that does not conflict with our desktops and that is fully backed up. I could use it as the place to host the group's website as well. Please let me know if that is possible, I would need it as soon as possible because my group has been a week or so without wiki access and that is starting to generate many problems. As soon as you create the virtual machine, we can probably take it from there installing the appropriate LAMP packages, and reinserting our wiki into the database, transferring the files, etc. Let me know if that is possible. A small-ish disk + ram is possible. How about 25 GB of space? (So we can upload all the papers we need, etc.) Thank you, Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] WIKI is DOWN, don't "touch" anything.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear friends, I updated the server to the latest ubuntu, and broke down the wiki in the meantime. It will hopefully be up soon. I am figuring out how to update it. Don't mess up with the website if it asks you for setting it up in the meantime. Thank you!

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, Here is the URL for an upcoming workshop on GPUs. All of you interested, let me know, and as soon as we know how much it costs, we will decide how many and who to send: See conferences under: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu:8080/mediawiki/index.php/Programming_with_GP… Also, this is the new target of opportunity, apparently it is optimized to use linear algebra, etc. http://dft.physics.cornell.edu/ -- Alan Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu
