Hosting upgrade

Post by Bennoz »

Hey kids,

I've been away all weekend, only just got home & found this email from our host
Host Guy wrote:Dear Ben,

We're pleased to inform you that the server hosting your ftoaustralia.com website will be undergoing a major software upgrade, from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6, within the next 48 hours.

This upgrade includes newer software packages (including Python, Perl and gcc), as well as all the security and performance benefits that come along with CentOS 6. In addition to this, the server will be redeployed with a different file system type simultaneously, further increasing performance.

Although a bulk of the upgrades to your server are being done with it online and functional, in order to safely finalize these changes our Administrators will need to temporarily take your server offline in the early morning hours. Barring any extenuating circumstances this outage should only last about 2 hours.

Please note that while we do not anticipate your software having problems post-update, it may be required to re-compile any module(s) you are using to take advantage of the newer included libraries. We suggest reviewing your site afterward to verify that it is functioning as it should.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
Apparently this all happened early Sunday morning for us lol, so dunno if anyone experienced any outages, but just lettin' you all know! Won't make any difference to this site anyway.

Um, you dont remember when I did that last time? C*nts locked the site off & we were down for 2 weeks while I migrated us here from a dodgy old backup.

Lesson learnt, dont call your host a c*nt. Remember that Sooty. You C*nt. :lol:
