Berkeley has broken the Stat Reporting feature that many SETI Stat Programs rely on.
Seti Spy, SetiCacheSpy, SetiTeam and possibly other less widely known programs were renendered
useless by their decision to move to FCGI scripts instead of plain old CGI.
Berkeley S@H Administration has this to say about the switch.....
The user stats cgis have been moved to fastCGI.
The old URLs (using cgi instead of fastcgi) now load a page with the
correct link.
The problem, as many of you know, is that we've had webserver load
issues intermittently in the past. Our website generates over 1,500,000
hits per day (which we greatly appreciate and wish to maintain, don't get
us wrong!
), and there are a number of database access functions that
comprise the majority of the load.
Server load is THE reason why we haven't yet been able to re-activate our
"view your last 10 results" feature (though we're working toward our goal
of reactivation).
FastCGI helps decrease the load tremendously, but unfortunately many
users (apparently all users using SETISpy, which grieves me greatly,
since your message states that SETISpy is no longer being maintained)
still use the old non-fast CGI links. (Also, by the way, we've noticed that a
number of users and team founders try to retrieve stats from our site
MULTIPLE TIMES PER SECOND, which seems unnecessary & hurts our
load. We'd love it if people could hit at a reasonable rate of once per 15
minutes or so.....)
In any case, I'll mention to the powers-that-be that SETISpy is forever
yoked to non-fastCGI. Unfortunate news!!
Thanks for alerting us,

Even though I am a PROUD member of Broadbandreports.com SETI Team StarFire, in the interests of Community, I decided to break ranks and come here to alert all of you. This is more than a 'team-team' problem, but a problem that strikes at all SETI crunchers wherever they may be.
