[UNPLANNED] [MAINTENANCE] ibiblio web

Collections of the form https://www.ibiblio.org/example_collection/ that do not have their own dedicated backend depend on infrastructure that is currently not meeting capacity requirements. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. A significant fraction of our web collections are impacted.

After significant work, we have narrowed the scope of the problem to a subset of collections that were previously relying on PHP <= 7.3, and we should have a resolution in place before 5p local time.

We believe this issue, which resulted in a significant fraction of php-based sites showing “Service Unavailable” rather than the collection, is now resolved. If you have a site hosted under the domain www.ibiblio.org and you see “Service Unavailable” when trying to view your collection, please reach out.

Hi, the bluegrass discography at http://www.ibiblio.org/hillwilliam/BGdiscography/ is still showing a Service Unavailable response since this update. I’m happy to try to help with it, but I don’t think I have access to any sort of error log to try to debug what is breaking on the new version of php.

Actually, I was able to get it working again by fixing an error (a variable that was using {0} for an index, which is disallowed now) that was happening at the top of the page, so I believe the Bluegrass discography is alright now.

@Benjamin_Pennell Glad you were able to get it working again!
