What’s happened to Pitt’s Philosophy of Science archive?

Philosopher Jeffrey Ketland points out to me that the URL, http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/,  has turned into something else (the Aphasiology Archive!).  Did the domain name registration expire?  Anyone know?

  1. I have no idea what is going on, but the TLS certificate there is now one for eprints-prod-05-stage.library.pitt.edu and a test page appears in the HTTPS context. Looks like a bunch of misconfigurations of some kind. https://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/view/subjects/ is also not available (404). It looks like maybe there is an upgrade of the archive site and others like it in progress?

  2. The technical team at the University Library System at Pitt is aware of the problem and working on a solution. We do not an estimated time yet for the repair. Apologies to everyone who uses the archive and many thanks in advance for your patience. (From the archive's Editor-in-Chief).

  3. Philsci-archive is back up. Thanks for your patience.

  4. Well then, thank you for your timely effort and quick results.

  5. Great that this excellent resource has been sorted so quickly, but I'm a little sad: I was amused by the possibility that, in around nine months time, editors at Philosophy of Science journals would be overwhelmed by submissions on whether we should be realists about aphasia, the use of models in aphasiology, how aphasiology handles inductive risk, etc, etc.

  6. A small technical FYI: domain registration occurs at the “pitt.edu” level. Subdomains (such as philsci-archive.pitt.edu are managed internally by the entity owning the domain, in this case U Pitt). So, domain registration expiration cannot be a cause of such issues (as long as pitt.edu is still active, that is).
