Server downtime coming up soonish...

Post by FuguTabetai »

Hi all,

I'll have about a half hour of server downtime coming up probably this weekend sometime. I have to install a firewire card so I can hook up an external 160GB drive that I'll use to back up the data around here (with a nightly rsync job I suppose.)

I'm not too sure when I'll take the system down, but it should only be down for about 30 minutes or less. Probably sometime Saturday or Sunday morning (US.)

cheers,

fugu

Server will be going down in about half an hour (4:20pm Eastern Standard Time or so) for a bit while I try to cram a firewire card into poor old fugu (the machine, not me.)

firewire looks good. Shouldn't have any problems, and I can start up my rsync cron job to the new disk.

Server will be going down again sometime soonish (between 2004/09/30 and 2004/10/02) when I put in a new hard drive and re-install the OS and try to get all the servers back up and running. The main system drive (all 10gigs of it) on fugu is making sad noises and will probably fail soon, after 6 years of continuous usage.

That took a while...

Some things have been set back up.

So, fugu went from a 10 gig drive to a 116 gig drive.

Apache 1.3.x to Apache 2.x

PHP 4.x to PHP 5.x

MySQL 3.23 to MySQL 4.x

ICS BIND was upgraded to 9.3.0

Still haven't got the mail server set up.

The image galleries might have problems since I haven't installed image-magick yet, but I'll get to that soon.

Sever was very slow at sending images. Looks like it was the

EnableSendfile

directive - windows / Apache 2.0 didn't seem to play well with it on.

Mail server is back up, I'll get the tracker up and running sometime today as well.
