Administrivia: Updates, backup tonight at midnight


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
