View Full Version : Web Server Downtime - a little warning...

Hi All.

There's some new software to be installed on this server. It's not a hugely important update[1], but ought to be done really.

Unfortunately, I'll have to take the server down to do the upgrade. If all goes well (and it has done on the two machines I've done this morning), the entire process should take around ten seconds, so most of you won't notice anything has happened. But anyone composing a long post might suddenly find themselves logged off when they try to submit. Sorry...

I'm aiming to do the upgrade sometime this evening. I'll keep an eye on server activity (so if you want to defer it, keep using the "preview post" button). If anyone's got any really strong feelings about when to do it, feel free to reply to this post.

Vic.

...And I hope you didn't!

All complete, we have a shiney new server build.
