Hi folks,
The forum will be down between 12 AM and 1 AM tonight. There's are two critical security updates from Ubuntu to be applied.
[*]MySQL - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1427-1/
[*]OpenSSL - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1428-1/
Although critical security issues, we are protected here for two reasons. One, there's no SSL in use, which is bad (sorry about that), and I will have to fix that sooner or later. Two, MySQL doesn't listen on a public interface, so you can't get at it remotely.
Database server upgrades make me a bit nervous, particularly without first taking a backup.
Therefore, tonight at midnight, there will be a backup followed by a package update.
We should be back by 1 am.
thanks,
Andrew
