NC041: Maintenance concluded

24 November 2024 22:10:24 +0000

Our weekend maintenance is over and complete, save for the one WordPress website that won’t update. This particular website is an ongoing problem, but when the update is run from within WordPress the update works. So we’ll be asking that client to do that themselves.

The server was rebooted four times, with a total downtime of a little under six minutes over the course of about four hours … actually, quite a bit less, as I was reading an article with respect to replacing the operating system on all of our servers. Time flies when you’re reading!

Everything is running just fine on server NC041 now. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact NinerNet support. Thank-you for your patience and understanding.

NC041: Server maintenance in progress today

24 November 2024 17:48:58 +0000

During our weekend maintenance window we are working on dealing with some WordPress upgrades on server NC041 that are not going as planned. The server may be rebooted a number of times. During this maintenance our third-party monitoring will be paused, as it usually is during scheduled maintenance.

Once we are done we will post an update here. We don’t expect to cause much in the way of interruptions, but we are letting you know in advance in case you notice. Thanks for your patience.

All servers: Company SSL/TLS certificates on all servers renewed and updated

15 January 2024 04:24:46 +0000

The *.niner.net wildcard SSL/TLS certificate has been renewed and updated across our entire infrastructure, although we apologise for being about four hours late. This should be seamless for all our clients. However, should you run into a situation in the next 24 hours where you’re told that the certificate has expired, please log out and reload whatever it is you’re trying to do. You may need to reboot, but this would be very unusual. Simply forcing a reload should clear things up. Via FTPS you may need to re-trust our certificate depending on your FTP client.

This doesn’t affect certificates on your own domain on your website, just NinerNet services such as control panels and connecting to the mail and FTP servers.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do contact NinerNet support with any error messages you may be seeing. Thank-you.

NC041: Maintenance post-mortem

8 February 2022 07:39:37 +0000

Our apologies for not following up this issue within the promised 48 hours.

This issue was traced to a problem with a single website hosted on this server, and the modifications made to this website’s file system. What was done within one account’s file system should not have affected the whole server though, and as a result we have filed a bug report with the control panel vendor.

We do again apologise for this issue, and will endeavour to ensure that it does not become an issue again.

If you have any questions at all about this maintenance, please let us know by contacting NinerNet support. Thank-you for your patience, and continued patronage.
