Database Upgrade

Posted on October 31, 2020 by SilentGround.org

Tomorrow (Sunday) we will take down our community forum to perform some upgrades of the database and software. It shouldn’t take long, but complications can always occur.

Starting at around 6:00~7:00 AM EST (Eastern Standard Time) / 10:00~11:00 AM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), we will disable the forums for all members. You can still view the site, but you will be unable to change or post anything.

We will continue to perform manual backups and then proceed with the upgrades. If everything goes smooth, we can proceed with some post-upgrade testing afterwards.

Once everything is appearing as normal, we will enable the forums once more.

    Upgrade seems successful, even after a few issues I had to figure out at first.

    The server seems stable at the latest MariaDB version.

    I will begin some testing.

    We have added an additional update site, to make it easier for members to navigate. There have been some confusion as to whether this site is for Elite Members only, even when the news are publicly available. To address this, we have made a simplified site available, with just S.G. forum news specifically. Syndication will […]

  • Server Upgrade #3
    Of course nothing much went according to plan. The PHP configuration remains broken on the new server, hence why the site is throwing a bunch of errors at all our users. There is little to do about it in its current state, so we will be issuing an emergency fix tomorrow on December 31st. Without […]
  • Server Upgrade #2
    The forum is scheduled to be taken offline tomorrow at 5 AM (GMT) / 12 AM (EST). The downtime will most likely be in the 2-3 hours range overall if nothing major is happening. Of course we can’t foresee the unexpected, but hopefully everything will be alright. You can keep an eye on this site, […]

    Hello everyone. Just a brief notice to you all about some changes that we have to make and in the process, the forum will be unavailable for a while. The hosting solution we have at the moment involves cPanel, which have made several changes in the recent year, that will now force us to take […]
