DATABASES DOWN
i downloaded papers at 2am this morning because i knew this would happen but the one i want to work on at the moment i musn't have saved AND i WILL need others. i should be able to get a fair bit done with what i have saved but:

edit: rang uni and they don't know when it will be back up. they mentioned that last weekend it took 3 days.
that is the reason i didn't get to do this assignment last weekend

Uni system is working fine for me.. no problems at all...

Re: [Official] WebCT/MQ Services Downtime Thread

yeah the rest of the system works for me but not the databases to get journal articles (i just checked again).

this happened 2 weeks ago and they came back up pretty quickly, last weekend the problems started with webct, not just the databases, and it didn't come back up for a few days as we all know. i am hoping this weekend follows the pattern of 2 weeks ago and not last weekend. since most of my assignments rely on journal articles and the only time i am ever free to do assignments in big blocks is on the weekend this is getting a bit frustrating.


edit: 9pm it's back!! <3 <3 <3.

Re: [Official] WebCT/MQ Services Downtime Thread

Hmmm... getting this message on MyMQ

An error has occurred in the Portal that is affecting all students.
It does not relate to your individual account.

We apologise for this inconvenience.

Please assist us to correct the issue by contacting the myMQ administrators.

Same for anyone else?

You can click the words "contacting the myMQ administrators" to submit the problem. Might be a good idea if it will help them solve it.

WebCT seems to be working fine.

Re: [Official] WebCT/MQ Services Downtime Thread

Word on the street is that outages are going to occur from this weekend till the end of semester. What follows is a post from one of my lecturers.

There will be a series of network outages across campus commencing on Sunday 29 October until 12 November due to the implementation of IT security equipment. It is not clear what these outages will result in, but it definently has the potential to mess things up.

K, so I chnaged it a bit so you couldnt know what class it was, but all the relevant bits are there.

Re: [Official] WebCT/MQ Services Downtime Thread

thanks, it's going to suck if it does the same things as last time - i wanted to get my last 2 assignments done without the hassel of the sites being down!

edit: to complain about the crapness of the mq site. i currently: can't get my next assingment, can't contact the lecturer because her email is down, can't access the web version of the current assignment i am doing.

eStudent is being a bitch to me:
https://student1.mq.edu.au/
https://student1.mq.edu.au/t1tbmain.asp

Safari can’t open the page “https://student1.mq.edu.au/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “student1.mq.edu.au”.
