Report article Server Upgrades Today

Please note that the ModDB database, web, file and media servers are been upgraded today - downtime is expected.

Posted by INtense! on Jan 28th, 2009 digg this super bookmark


Commencing in about 1 hour, all ModDB servers will be upgraded because we have quite simply outgrown our current host and require more space, more power, more speed and better upgradability. Whilst this uptime is expected to take a few hours behind the scenes, we expect there to be only a few 10 minute patches of downtime to you on the frontend.

If however you see anything wierd occuring during or after the upgrade, please contact support or post a comment here and we shall investigate.

* UPDATE 1: VIDEO/AUDIO PROCESSING IS BACK ONLINE
* UPDATE 2: The ModDB fileserver is also down for the next 24hours, Filefront is still available. 2 new ModDB fileservers will be available from Saturday.
* UPDATE 3: IMAGE DISPLAY ISSUE RESOLVED

I have just made some further changes.

Video and Audio processing is back online.
Image display has been fixed.

Please note that on Saturday morning we will be installing three new front end web / media servers, you may notice some brief interruptions when these are brought online.
