Maintenance for November, 2007

Reminder that the beginning of the month is coming up, so on Saturday November 3rd, maintenance will begin. As usual, there may be a few hours of degraded service, but only 10 minutes or so of actual down time.

While I have your attention, let me ask you this question - why isn't Bruce Campbell as wildly popular and famous as he deserves to be? The man is gold... PURE FREAKING GOLD! I wanna be like him when I grow up!

Quick update - we're nearly completed with the procurement and deployment of our new hardware. Once that's complete, we'll begin deploying our full-fledged control panel to empower our customers to take control of their hosting. We will also bring a new domain for the hosting venture, leaving oesm.org as the shell holding entity for that and any other opportunies we pursue. Keep your ears on, same bat time, same bat channel!

There were some major network changes made this afternoon, but we've settled in rather quickly. Shoot me a message if anything is amiss. Also note - The TFC server's IP is now 76.193.19.163!!.



A few quick topics

The daily awards within HLStats didn't update last night, this is because the stats server is powered down at the moment. Our office is moving, and that's the location of the stats server (it updates via the VPN between the office and the data center). I apologize for the inconvenience, and as soon as the move is complete it will come back online and I'll run a manual award update. This does NOT affect the normal real-time stats that accumulate - they will continue to function as always.

Second topic is monthly maintenance. This is a reminder that the beginning of the month is coming up, so on Sunday June 3rd, maintenance will begin. As usual, there may be a few hours of degraded service, but only 10 minutes or so of actual down time.

UPDATE - The VPN is back up, and daily awards stats are functioning properly.

Hardware upgrades complete

The upgrades were a success, and we're now on incredibly beefy new hardware! If anyone comes across anything that's not right, don't hesitate to contact me. All passwords will have been reset, so get in touch with me and we can get it squared away.

Also something I added while I was at it - .htaccess support for password protecting directories, much like Apache provides. The format is along the lines of:

AuthName Title
AuthUserFile "path to site\private directory\.htpasswd"
Require valid-user

And within the .htpasswd file, you place your login info as normal. Please contact me for absolute file path info if you'd like to use this feature.



Schedule for webserver hardware upgrades

Ok everyone, we have a tentative date for the cutover. Next Saturday, January 27th, some time during the evening. What will this mean to our users and customers? You'll get a default password, and will need to email me (click my name at the top of this news post) with your username and requested password. Beyond that, it should be painless. If anything does pop up as odd, drop me an email and I'll get it sorted as quickly as possible.



Follow-up to hardware replacement

I wanted to let everyone know that everything went perfectly Saturday night, and I replaced the entire box. I hadn't planned on this until the hardware upgrade in a few weeks, but it was needed to restore stability. I'll post more about the upgrade later, along with the impact to our users.
