Upgrades Tonight

[board]

We will be performing some server upgrades this evening which may interrupt the service for a few minutes at a time.

For the technical among you we are introducing SSD storage for the databases to increase the performance of the site.

Stage one completed. sorry the reboot took a bit longer than normal as a check disk was required on the primary drive. This is something the operating system requires from time to time and is difficult to predict.

just setting up to move the mysql databases so this will occur in the next 5 or 10 minutes. you will get database connection errors as i stop mysql and then move the files.

That concludes the upgrades for this evening.
