**Correction – the web server is responding at our DR site thru GTM.  Unfortunately this still effects site publishing and pages using MySQL databases hosted on WISE, or CGI scripts that reference wise directly.

WISE & Webnet3 are currently down and systems is trying to get to the root of the issue. Our additional redundant web server (webnet2) is currently answering all www.fau.edu requests so the main site is still viewable.

Please be aware the other services will be effected such as the ability to update pages thru OmniUpdate or LCMS along with various CGI or MySQL forms.
