We are testing new software on the server: Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.4. All seems to work well, but please report any problems, as there might be minor configuration issues I've not found yet. We will likely alternate between the old and new versions a bit before we stick with the new. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats

It's a lot quicker, I noticed. No more waiting for those buttons to load. ____________ Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service.

Is this the explanation for the sometimes disabled Up/Downloadserver and the scheduler? ____________ Dragons can fly because they don't fit into pirate ships

We've actually been alternating between Apache httpd 2.0.54 and 2.2.4 for a while now, but I've found some problems with memory allocation for PHP with the newer. I'm not sure how we'll deal with this, but it may mean further testing of various versions of the Apache software. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats
