Lewisham offline 16-21 February

From Lewisham Council
----------------------------

Lewisham Council will be suspending its IT services from midnight on Wednesday 16 February until 8am Monday 21 February. This is because the Council is moving its servers to a new data centre.

In particular, the Council’s website will be affected, with only a limited number of pages available. It is also likely that e-mails will not be received by the Council during this period. Anyone visiting the Council’s website at this time will however be able to see telephone numbers for the Council’s main services. Telephone systems will not be affected.

The change to a new centre follows negotiation of a new service provider and contract. The new contract will result in a saving to the Council of £250,000 a year.

Interesting timing: the mayor and Cabinet are meeting on the 17th to decide the fate of the five libraries and I have been told that the expressions of interest in them will be available online from then. Now they won't be.

Looks like they're starting work early!

Server Error in '/Lewisham' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I am getting that too on most of the stuff I'm looking for. I have placed an enquiry and (if Lewisham's email is working) post any news on this.

A private company I was at about 6yrs ago had its IT system go kaput for about 5days; nearly everything we did was in to Excel workbooks and very little hard copy

Apologies, we did have extensive network problems yesterday.
Just to let you know that all public documents for the council meetings will be available on a temporary website during the data centre move.
Thanks
