Is there anyone who can fix VPHOT?

VPHOT is working

Jim,

I checked as soon as I saw your message this morning and it's working for me. I also have 18 students who have been using it all weekend to submit VPHOT generated AAVSO extended format files for quizzes and the final exam for the CHOICE VPHOT course.

What are you trying to do? Upload images to VPHOT, do a time series, measure individual images...? More specific information might be helpful.

Jes' trying to process my images, like always.  The upload seemed to be okay but the processing hit one image and stopped.  In Upload>View Server Processor Queue it shows one image being processed and dozens of other waiting (100s as of this morning 13-Apr 11:00 am CDT).

I have logged out and back in many times and it still shows the same.

It looks like VPhot's processing is stuck, yes.  Other functionality looks fine, but the images processing is not working.  Restarting the instance via the Amazon console did not work. I will have to get into the instance and deal with it that way, but that won't be able to happen until late afternoon ET.

I'll keep everyone up to date.

I knew it would be a race as to which one of us - Geir or myself - could get to the computer to fix VPhot first, and apparently Geir won by 22 minutes. Thanks!!  :-)

VPhot is again processing images, but there is a backlog that it has to process through. Given the rate I'm seeing, I figure it should have things up-to-date by 0000UT 14 April.  I will continue to monitor it through the evening.

It was a nice afternoon for a walk.  :-)
