LeMill 2.9 up and running

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

At tuesday, 27.10 there still may be problems with some broken search results, but they will be fixed during the day. Also some of the background installations to allow nicer math equations and saving collections as pdf are done today, but they shouldn’t affect LeMill use. Small slowdowns may occur when some of the servers are restarted.  I will comment here on how things are proceeding.

Downtime at Monday 26.10, 14:00EET- 20:00

We have finally a spot to do our much needed upgrade! It will require taking the service down to safely upgrade all of the resources without breaking references or having other unintended consequences. We’ll try to put the service back on as soon as it is safe to do so, but there may still be some weird behaviour while the less critical upgrades are running.

Upgrade postponed, network problems at TaiK

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Upgrade mentioned in previous post, originally planned for 28.9-29.9 is postponed to 10.10-11.10. The upgrade didn’t happen because of unprecedented long network outage in TaiK (Helsinki) which disconnected the name server that connects the address http://lemill.net to correct IP-address and also disconnected both servers where our development code is hosted and servers where LeMill-blogs are hosted. To avoid such incidents in the future, we have changed our name server provider.

We will postpone the upgrade untill Estonian LeMill competition is finished, as we don’t want you to suffer any more outages before the deadline. In the mean time, we can make the upgrade even better.
