Server (web server) Upgrade - Possible downtime / bad links.

[Rukario]

We will be upgrading the web-server program we use tonight (apache webserver) from it's current 1.3.37 version to an much more efficient version, 2.2.6 along with the security module associated with it.

While we expect no issues, there is a small chance some pages and/or links may break due to the default security rules set.

We need for you to be aware of this and if any are seen, pass them on to me (include FULL URL) by replying to this thread or thru PM.

thanks

cool what if there is downtime? we will have to wait :(

 

[Rukario]

Well it's done (was done last night) and there was NO down time.

All we need to do now is watch for bugs and errors that could b caused by the security software update. (bad page loads, something not working, etc.)

ok i`ll try and keep an eye out for any issues...
thx

OK, for about 10 days the site was down for me - it may have something to do with this.

You're already in Announcements, it would've taken you FIVE SECONDS to see this.

The downtime last week had nothing to do with this upgrade at all. Not to mention that Steve even mentioned there was no downtime for this upgrade. :/

 

[Rukario]

nope not related at all.. this upgrade happened after that.

Assuming you don't have custom code running and the forum software is compatible with Apache 2.2.6 then you should have nothing to worry about.

Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.7a FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/5.2.4 Server at pokecommunity.com Port 80

it wasn't apache I was / am worried about. It's the version 2.x mod_security module that mainly concerns me.

this module uses a different configuration syntax then what we were running on apache 1.3.37 (mod_sec v1.x) and our NEW rule set isn't as well configured nor as specific yet, so were going with a fairly strong config hoping to eventually get our 'normal' rules in it soon. Thats where we need your help to report any weird issues you may see while surfing/posting on PC.

Well, while going around PC I have noticed lots of broken images, I don't know if that might have anything to do with it or not.
