colony.cs, the machine that is www.cs.toronto.edu and hosts user home pages and user-managed webservers (among other things), has been upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04. In the process it has changed IP addresses, although this change should be transparent to most people.
People with user-managed webservers should check them, as you may need to take some additional steps to make them fully functional again. If this applies to you, please talk to your Point of Contact for the full details.
In the process of this upgrade, we discovered an unanticipated issue with the ordering of events on system startup. This problem caused everyone with user-managed webservers to get several mail messages about their web servers being unable to start due to scripts not being found. We apologize for this inconvenience; this problem has now been resolved.
