[Apache2] Apache 2.2 Upgrade


Saturday, March 8th, 2008 - Apache2

We finished upgrading the two servers from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.2 early Friday morning. We only upgraded two servers so that we can test the procedure and it is also easier to handle support related requests on a smaller scale. The upgrade procedure actually went a lot more smoothly than I figured it would. There were a couple of complications regarding the procedure but these were easily rectified. I was really surprised as to how easy this upgrade went. We’ve only received a couple of support request regarding the upgrade and those were tied to the complications that we have already resolved. I am going to monitor the situation for the next week or so before I do another round of upgrades.

The servers that were affected by this upgrade were written specifically. If you had an account on one of these servers you should have received a notice before the upgrade detailing the upgrade. We did receive a lot of bounce messages when we sent out these notices. I encourage everyone to please be sure that your contact information with us is up-to-date. If we have an outdated e-mail address on file for your account, we’re not going to have any way to contact you regarding issues like this.

If you were affected by this upgrade and you are experiencing problems please be sure to contact our support team so that they can investigate the issue. We are wanting to know if there are any major issues regarding this upgrade before proceeding too far with the upgrade.
