We updated MySQL and only saw a couple of seconds of downtime as the server restarted. We should be in good shape but definitely let me know if you see any funkiness with your database driven web site.

Hello All,

We're upgrading MySQL today which should result in appx. 60 seconds (or less) of downtime for services which rely on that DB. This means, if you have a database driven web site, you'll see a few errors during that time frame.

Will post again when the process has been completed and tested.

A main webserver (ring.vpop.net) is having a problem right now and we are investigating. Will post here with updates.

UPDATE: 12:32: Things are back to normal. There were a few processes that were consuming too many resources and it caused the webserver (Apache) to lag to the point where it was not serving pages. Looks like we were down for appx. 8 minutes.

Apologies for the outage.:(
