The reboot has been completed successfully with the exception of a minor issue concerning Spamassassin and one other minor issue which might necessitate another reboot later. We’re working on both and will post further updates here as necessary.

Reboot of server NC018

15 June 2009 21:17:55 +0000

To celebrate being up, running and online without interruption for two full years, server NC018 will be rebooted at 19:00 UTC on Saturday, 20 June. This is to allow some updates to the operating system that require a reboot.

This should only result in about a minute or two of downtime.

Mailing lists on server NC018 back online

14 June 2009 02:57:56 +0000

The issue that caused us to suspend the processing of mailing lists with PHP List has been resolved, and the mailing lists are fully functional once more. Just to clarify, it was only the sending of mail-outs that was suspended; all other functions remained online.

Thanks for your patience.

Report on failure of server NC020

3 June 2009 03:45:36 +0000

The cause of the problem with NC020 was a website that overwhelmed the MySQL database server, causing the server to kill MySQL and run out of memory. As a result, although the server was technically “running”, all processes failed and no connections could be made to the server. A hard reboot brought the server back online.

The problem with the website in question is being addressed, and this shouldn’t happen again.

It should be noted that server NC020 is a secondary server, generally for specialised projects and functions, and this incident affected almost none of our clients.
