Planned Outage:

I need to upgrade the forums to SMF 2.1.4 because there's a line of deprecated code that is filling up the error logs every time it gets hit. I think the upgrade will fix it. I'll be doing it probably Thursday night, because those logs fill up FAST and I don't want to get hit with another $15 per month to carry them. :)

So yeah, around 5-7PM Dallas time (US Central) on Thursday, gonna do some upgrading. Forums will be offline during that time until I say they're up again and if they act goofy for you during that time, that's why.

was the change submitted to that Change Management Team?  Reviewed by the engineering and architecture boards?  Have you run the upgrade scenario in the lab?

To be honest, I was kinda hoping there would be an unrelated outage somewhere that I could hang this off of and call this one an emergency change, then do the upgrade "for troubleshooting reasons" and use a generic admin account for direct access to do the upgrade so I'd have plausible deniability if anyone ever did a change request review.

Outage over, it will look differently for a little while until after I get a chance to do the packages.

Database conversion took WAY longer than planned, but the 3GB of error logs should be gone now.

Had a wee tiny outage yesterday when the host introduced an error in the Apache configuration. It's now corrected and back up.
