System Upgrades

Tonight all client servers for our Shared Linux Web Hosting users have had updates to a number of various software packages to bring them all to the same level. All client servers are now running:

Apache 2.2.16
PHPⁱ 5.3.3
Ruby On Rails 2.3.8

No major client-side changes or updates are expected to be required due this minor upgrade.

This afternoon all client servers for our Shared Linux Web Hosting users are being upgraded to Apache 2.2.15 and PHPⁱ 5.3.2... Each server will be down very briefly for a few seconds while Apache reloads. No major client-side changes or updates are expected to be required due this minor upgrade.

This evening all client servers for our Shared Linux Hosting users were upgraded to Apache 2.2.14 and PHPⁱ 5.2.11.. these were fairly minor upgrades (from previous 2.2.x and 5.2.x) so no configuration or major modifications were required. Downtime for each server was measured in seconds while the Apache services were restarted.

Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) Server at srv3.purenrg.com Port 80

Such sweeter words have never been spoken by our servers. Okay, so maybe I'm being just a little overly dramatic, but the simple fact is, the jump from Apache 1.3.x to 2.2.x has been something we've been putting off for various reasons for so long that it was beginning to feel like it would never happen. This morning that situation was resolved, and we are happy to report that everything has appeared to go smoothly.

The previously discussed upgrades to Apache 2.2 will be occuring this morning. Downtime for each server should be 15-20 minutes at most. We will post a follow up to the news section once the update is complete.
