System Maintenance on Shared Hosting Server Box4

Posted by Jenni Serenbetz on Mon Jul 12 17:58:00 UTC 2010


In an effort to modernize one of our legacy shared hosting platforms, we will be performing maintenance on box4 starting at 23:00 on July 13th. We will be transitioning the server to modern hardware, updating the operating system and the versions of the WebDNA software operating on the box. In the last 12 months, WebDNA has been acquired by a new company and updated versions have been released that fix many of the bugs the platform has experienced. It is our goal to bring our platform up to date.

We expect the outage to last approximately 2 hours, but this may take longer depending on the amount of user data that has changed since our original snapshot.

Update 7-13-2010: We have postponed this maintenance until Thursday, July 15 to ensure adequate testing of the new setup.

Update 7-15-2010: Tonights migration will be starting at 2030 (8:30 pm Pacific, 03:30:00 Friday July 16 UTC) (Web only post)
