Title: Nov 4, 2010 :: Blizzard Planned software upgrade
Post by: Jason on November 02, 2010, 09:10:23 PM
I'm scheduling a maintenance window on our server Blizzard for this coming Thursday evening for around 11pm EST.

We're updating a piece of database software that will require us to recompile apache (web server) and php.  During this time, web sites on this server may be unreachable.  The total outage could be as long as 30-45 minutes.  Generally it's closer to 15-20.

Email will not be impacted.

I will update this thread before and after we begin this process on Thursday evening.

I will email my Blizzard distribution list in the next 10 minutes to alert them to this announcement.

Thank you,
Jason

This should be starting momentarily.  I'll keep you updated once completed.

There was some confusion around what was scheduled last night.  We ended up not proceeding with the update on this server.  There was a workaround for what was needed so I'm going to cancel this for now.

Thanks
