Reseller Server Maintenance - 07-Dec-2013

Post by porcupine »

Hello Everyone,

Please be advised of the following maintenance window:

Maintenance Window: Saturday December 7th, 12:01AM - 5:00AM Eastern Time

Affected Device(s): Reseller/Shared servers - www2.pcdc.net through www7.pcdc.net (inclusive)
Affected Customers: Shared/Reseller hosting customers will be affected
Service Impacting: Yes - Kernel update will require the servers to be rebooted, and several of the updates to MySQL, and Apache/PHP will result in short outages as software is recompiled, reconfigured, and restarted.

Details: We will be performing a kernel upgrade to all reseller servers, along with updating MySQL to version 5.5, and PHP from 5.3.xx to 5.4.22. While the PHP upgrade is should be fairly painless, some MySQL queries may break with the upgrade to 5.5, and customers should ensure any scripts/software that is interacting with MySQL is compatible beforehand (or be prepared to upgrade said scripts/software after the update/as necessary).

We will be performing each servers upgrade individually during this time period, and do not anticipate any significant delays or issues on the server side. We are scheduling this upgrade at the start of the weekend to allow customers as much time as possible to remedy any script/software issues before the next business day, and will of course do everything possible to minimize service downtime on each server.
