Network outage

Hi,

We are still damned, but this is less annoying than storage issues ;-)

Anyway, everything is up by now, please bear with us.

Main storage server replacement

Posté le mardi 16 juin 2009, à 15:17 UTC

We are currently working on the replacement of our main storage server in the hope of fixing hardware problems (see older news).

All services are now unavailable. We do our best to make everything up as soon as possible !

Your admins

Edit: everything is up. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Plantage Du serveur de stockage principal

Posté le lundi 8 juin 2009, à 22:28 UTC

Décidément la chance n'est pas avec nous... Après avoir changé la carte mère et la ram de cette machine, nous pensions avoir résolu le problème

Depuis l'intervention tout se passait bien jusqu'à ce soir où la machine a décidé de ne plus donner de signe de vie.

Nous allons devoir attendre jusqu'à demain que notre cher hébergeur redémarre la machine

Désolés pour la gène occasionnée :/

Vos admins

Ajout: tout est de nouveau fonctionnel. Nous prévoyons une maintenance d'ici peu puisque nous soupçonnons un nouveau problème matériel (nous sommes maudits).

Memory upgrade on main storage server

Posté le mercredi 27 mai 2009, à 10:09 UTC

A memory upgrade is planned this afternoon (UTC) on our main file server.

All services will be interrupted for some minutes.

We should perform a file system check this night (around midnight UTC), which will also cause service interruption.

We'll keep you informed.

Your admins

Edit: done!

phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin upgraded

Posté le jeudi 21 mai 2009, à 00:09 UTC

Hi,

So this time this is a good news, WE KID YOU NOT.

Yes, this is not a very important news, we agree, but this is quite pleasant to add something other than yet another f*cking hardware failure.

So, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin were upgraded today ! We are confident that it will change your life !

Hardware replacement in progress

Posté le vendredi 15 mai 2009, à 10:26 UTC

Hi,

We are currently replacing the hardware failing part of our main storage server.

Stay tuned ;-)

Edit: done!

Edit: We are going to move back to the primary storage array very soon, stay tuned ;-)

Edit: done!, everything should be back online

Emergency maintenance planned

Posté le lundi 4 mai 2009, à 10:19 UTC

Hi,

We finished the investigation about the hardware issue on the main storage server, but we still need to check some hardware components separately to find which is the responsible. We will shutdown almost all services from time to time during this afternoon in order to do that.

Please bear with us.

Network outage

Posté le mardi 28 avril 2009, à 09:44 UTC

Hi,

For an unknown reason, the fiber link between the core switch and ours jumped down, a small shut/noshut fixed the problem. (Those with network knowledge will understand, for the others this is technically the same as remotely unplugging and plugging a cable).

By the way, we are still having storage issues, heavy checks on the storage arrays ended successfully. We are now a bit suspecting the storage server itself, something around memory, motherboard or CPU. Sorry about short downtimes from time to time to switch between the storage arrays, to run quick checks offline and such things.

We must be cursed :-(

Please bear with us.

PHP and cgi.fix_pathinfo value

Posté le mercredi 8 avril 2009, à 18:09 UTC

Hi,

The upgrade from Debian Etch to Debian Lenny changed the value of the cgi.fix_pathinfo variable, we are using the default value and the default value changed from 0 to 1.

From what we saw, the only impacted value seems to be PHP_SELF, but the PHP documentation talks about PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED and SCRIPT_FILENAME

We think this is better to let the new default behavior, which is fixing an old PHP bug. Anyway this is something that need to be changed at some time, therefore this is useless to set the previous default behavior back.

Please fix your scripts ;-)

Webservers upgraded to Debian Lenny

Posté le mardi 7 avril 2009, à 10:39 UTC

Hi,

All our webservers have been migrated to Debian Lenny yesterday in the evening.

If anything is not working as it should, we will enjoy the feedback.
