mercuryserver server patch - it's done

[3dx]

Tomorrow morning (or tonight, depending on where you are), we will be updating Apache on this server. E's not online, and no other mods are ... so just getting the word out to y'all.

There shouldn't be any downtime, nor should you even notice that it happend. This only applies to this server (MAJIK1) not any others, and will cover all of the mercury sites. This will take place at exactly 1am EST.

The fix addresses some security flaws in Apache versus cPanel. Will advise if anything goes haywire. I'll be monitoring [ms] before, during, and after the patch to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Thank you all for being here!

Yes, all karma proceeds go to charity

I'm hoarding it in case it becomes the currency of choice in the event of a nuclear disaster.

Re: mercuryserver server patch - it's done

the question you'll ask youself tomorrow is was there really a patch?

Glad it was seamless.

[skahound]

I hope it's not one of those patches that is staring me right in the face as I have [ms] bent over and am wailing away on it's tight little....

[Mr. T]

what patch is this? and what difference will it make?

[3dx]

It was not a "difference" patch, it was a "vunerability" patch. We got the patch today, so figured there was no need to wait for a better time.

[FM]

I don't see a patch...
