Grove
Due to the
grove incident in 2009, we had to abruptly retire the old grove server.
We are reestablishing services on a completely new platform.
We apologize for the inconvenience this caused. Most services have now been restored. Current status and projections are below.
Student Organizational Account Migration
Thanks to the Student Technology Fee, a new and better alternative for hosting Student Organization web pages is under development.
This new platform will be more powerful, offer significantly more
options and will be easier to use.
This new platform should be ready by January of 2012. Resources such
as training and templates for the new platform will be available before
then. Once the platform is ready, assistance in moving simple web
sites will be available. All student organizations will have the option
of keeping their web pages on grove until the new platform is available.
E-mail Services
webmail.grove.ufl.edu, imap.grove.ufl.edu and pop.grove.ufl.edu are available.
Grove Webpages
Grove homepages are viewable:
- Grove Individual homepages
- Grove Organizational homepages
See The Center for Student Activites and Involvement to find the current location of the home page for a given student organization.
Web Services
Web services for web pages are available. Grove now runs:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux instead of HP Tru64 Unix,
- Apache 2.2.3 instead of Apache 1.3.26,
- PHP 5.1.6 instead of PHP 4,
- MySQL 5.0.45 instead of MySQL 3.23.52,
- Perl 5.8.8. instead of Perl 5.6.0 and
- (For compiled programs) x86_64 architecture instead of alpha.
Licensed Applications
MATLAB is available on grove.
Due to low usage and greatly increased cost, IMSL will not be offered on the new grove.
Since it is no longer being used on grove, the license for Maple has not been renewed.
Since it is available in the labs and is little used on grove, the license for SAS will not be renewed. It will be unavailable on grove starting Fall Semester, 2010.

Other Services
- Beginning Spring semester, Organizational account renewal will be available. Your Grove Organizational account will renew through March 1, 2012.
Any member of an organizational account can renew the account. Changes of membership in student organizational accounts still require that the president come to the UF Help Desk with picture ID.
