Server Trouble

beaTunes2 logoFor a couple of days now, beaTunes users were unable to connect to the central database that is queried when using Online Resources. Even though the database isn't central for beaTunes to work (pretty much all provided results can also be calculated offline), I want to apologize for the extended outage. At the same time, I'd like to assure you that I'm working hard to bring the database back online. For those of you curious about what caused the problem—it was a harddrive failure. Guess, I'm switching to RAID5 after all to speed up the restore process.

Online DB down

beaTunes2 logoWhile yesterday's database update was successful, ironically, the supposedly improved backup procedure caused some database corruption. I'm currently working on recovering the database and expect to have it back online around noon EST.

For the time being, that means that you may encounter java.net.ConnectExceptions when using online resources during beaTunes analysis. Should the analysis not proceed without the online lookup, you can uncheck Use Online Resources in the Analysis Options dialog to avoid the online lookup altogether.

Thank you for your patience.

Update: The database is up again.
