<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you once more for letting us know
about the problems with the COD server. I have rebooted the
server, so currently all links and commands that you have
specified work; but please see the caveat below:<br>

<div>I am trying to query the COD database, but none of the
instructions seem to be working. I have tried curl and wget of <a

moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.crystallography.net/cod/2002926.cif</a>
with no luck. I have tried svn co svn://<a

moz-do-not-send="true">www.crystallography.net/cod</a> and
mkdir -p cif; rsync -av --delete rsync://<a

moz-do-not-send="true">www.crystallography.net/cif/</a> cif/
and even trying to access <a

moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.crystallography.net/archives/cod-cifs-mysql.tgz</a>.
All these routes give me some flavor of permission issue.</div>

<p>The procedure cured the symptom, not the cause, and I am not sure
what the cause is. The suspicion is software version
incompatibility, so next Monday we have scheduled a software
upgrade. This will be announced on the COD we site; there may be
short COD service interruptions on that day.</p>
<p>Until that, you are welcome to use the COD server but please be
prepared that it may halt again unexpectedly (although we'll keep
a closer eye on its health ;). I apologise for any inconvenience
that this will cause.</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,<br>
Saulius<br>
