We will be taking the following servers offline for about 10-15 minuets each tonight (Tuesday July 1st, 2008) between the hours of 11:00 and 00:00 to apply an urgent security patch released yesterday for these servers.

alder.forest.net
balsa.forest.net
cactus.forest.net
columbia.forest.net
date.forest.net
durian.forest.net
grapevine.forest.net
helpdesk.forest.net
honeysuckle.forest.net
jasmine.forest.net
palm.forest.net
rosemary.forest.net

Update: The date for these update has been changed to July 2nd, 2008 during the same timeframe.

Update: Upgrades on all three machines were successful

Tonight we will be performing a hardware maintenance on the machines listed below. The maintenance will begin at 8:30 PM PST and will last approximately 10 minutes per machine. The reason for this maintenance is to upgrade the memory on the machines to improve performance.

Machines being serviced:
banana.forest.net (Lasso 6)
jasmine.forest.net (FileMaker 7)
tangerine.foerst.net (MySQL 4)

UPDATE: We are happy to announce that the software powering Alder's backend is once again operating without failures. The ability to open and close FileMaker 7 Server databases has once again been restored.

Alder is currently down because of a software failure in OpenBase, the database which powers Alder's backend. We are in communication with OpenBase about the software failure and hope to have Alder back online by the end of Wednesday.

The servers affected by this are jasmine, sage and spruce. This will not affect the databases stored on these servers, only the ability to open and close them. If you need a database opened or closed please give us a call and our technical support department will be more then happy to manually open and close them.

Please monitor this website for any updates,

Update: The maintenance will be pushed back to Tuesday, January 10th 2005 @ 10PM PST.

On Monday, January 9th 2005 at approx 10pm PST our Alder3 script located on alder.forest.net will be unavailable for use. During this time connectivity to alder.forest.net will be unavailable. Also connectivity to jasmine, sage and spruce maybe affected as well. The scheduled maintenance will take approximately one hour to complete and we anticipate that all services will be back to normal before midnight on Monday night.

Update:

We are currently experiencing issues with the Instant Web Publishing portion of FileMaker 7 Servers Sage.forest.net & Spruce.forest.net. Currently connecting via your FileMaker Pro client does not seem to show any problems. This in result of the upgrade. We estimate that we will have both servers fully up and running by the end of the morning.

Tonight we will be upgrading our Filemaker Server 7.0 solution to 7.0v4 from 7.0v3.

The servers affected are:
jasmine.forest.net
sage.forest.net
spruce.forest.net

The maintenance to our Filemaker 7.0 servers will take place between 1am and 2am PST. The anticipated downtime should be no more then 15 minutes for each server.

On Wednesday, December 1st 2004 at 7:30 pm we will be upgrading FileMaker Server Advanced on sage.forest.net from version 7.0v1 to 7.0v2.

According to FileMaker, the update "includes changes to stability and performance and External Authentication security."

No updates or changes are required on the client side, but we always recommend customers using FileMaker Client to access their databases keep their software up to date -- see http://www.filemaker.com/support/updaters.html for the latest updates.

Thank you!
