box6 Upgrade to PHP5 / MySQL5

Posted by Blue Box Group on Tue May 08 04:27:00 UTC 2007

This only effects customers who are on shared hosting on box6. If you are a dedicated, virtual, or WebDNA customer. You can ignore this email.

Tomorrow night during our schedule maintenance window, we will be upgrading the server box6 to PHP5 and MySQL5. A list of changes from PHP4 to PHP5 can be found here. The upgrade will simply require a restart of Apache and will result in no downtime for websites. 99.99% of websites are compatible with PHP5 out of the box, but if you discover that your website is having problems on Wednesday morning, please get in touch and we will assist in resolving any issues.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Update 11:41pm - box6 has been upgraded to MySQL 5 and PHP 5 and confirmed with a number of sites. Please check your site and let us know if you have any issues.

Thank you
