A number of you have contacted me about problems you’ve been experiencing while uploading attachments. The problem has now been identified, and we’re working with our hosting provider to address it. I’ll let everyone know once this issue has been resolved.
Please let me know if this temporary inability to upload attachments causes you or your group any significant problems: http://opencuny.org/help
Everything else should be functioning properly, just not the ability to upload attachment files.
The migration to the new server is now fully complete! Thank you all for your patience.
While everything appears to be intact, you may find that you have to re-activate certain plugins, re-add widgets, and re-select your theme. This is unlikely, but not unusual following a system upgrade and migration to a new server. Please let me know if you experience any problems, or need assistance dealing with widgets, plugins, or themes by using the following form:
http://opencuny.org/help
Further, please use the following request forms if there are additional plugins or themes that you’d like to see at OpenCUNY:

Request a Theme - http://opencuny.org/request-a-theme/
OpenCUNY.org has been successfully transferred to our new server and everyone’s content is safe and sound. As I previously mentioned, you may still experience error messages and inconsistent service over the next 24 hours. This is due to two factors:
- The transfer of our domain name (http://opencuny.org) can take anywhere from 24-36 hours to fully update or propagate throughout the Internet. Thus, a number of you may still be accessing the ‘old’ server and receiving the “OpenCUNY.org will be down for maintenance…” message.
- Our new server needs to be configured to match the same conditions which were available on our old server. This reconfiguration is in process but, as with #1, these changes may take a little bit of time before fully updating. Thus, while a number of you may be able to access http://opencuny.org and even log in, you may receive the “OpenCUNY.org will be down for maintenance…” message when you try to access your specific OpenCUNY site (e.g. http://opencuny.org/node).
I’ll update everyone once issues 1 & 2 are resolved. In the meantime, please let me know if this delay causes a significant inconvenience for you or your group.
Beginning at 9PM today (Monday, February 15th) OpenCUNY.org will be down for maintenance. I expect OpenCUNY.org to be down for only a few hours, but you may experience inconsistent service during the following 24 hours. A full backup of everyone’s site has been generated – you do not need to generate your own backup. However, please follow these directions if you would like to generate a personal backup of your OpenCUNY site(s): http://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Export_SubPanel
Please feel free to contact me directly at dsc (at) gregorydonovan (dot) org with any concerns.
I’ll keep everyone posted if I come across any gremlins …
OpenCUNY.org has recently been upgraded to the newest version of WordPress Multi-User (WPMU 2.8.4a). For a list of all changes associated with this upgrade, please consult the WordPress Codex.
You can submit a help request at http://opencuny.org/help if your account or blog (check your widgets/plugins) are experiencing any problems as a result of the upgrade.
OpenCUNY.org is currently in beta and changes (big and small) are being made on a daily basis. Please bear with us during this period of time.
Thank you for your patience,
The DSC
