I'll be doing some server maintenance that requires me to bring the site down. Should be during the evening (CST or -6) of May 7st. The work will take at least an hour, maybe longer.

Wow, I'm guessing it's for the best... Will a forum upgrade be included in the maintenance? :wink:

What are you hoping the forum gets upgraded to? Main reason for the maintenance is that I'm swapping some drives and switching from Solaris x86 to Linux.

Would you be able to upgrade the PHPBB version?

Seems somewhat outdated... You should be able to migrate PHPBB versions pretty easily, as long as you back up the databases and old version just in case.

The upgrade would be to version 3 of phpbb but it's still in beta. Even after it gets released we will probably have to wait a little while for the plugins we use to support the new version. All the file attachment stuff, remembering which threads you've read, the rss feeds, and the wiki integration all addons. I can change the date if it would make you happy :)

Haha, OK I see your point...

I didn't realize the next version of PHPBB was still beta. Oh well.

Two reasons.

Package/Software management. Here is installing PHP on Solaris. First in the global zone..
Code:
#!/bin/bash

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
export PATH

echo "GETTING PHP SUPPORT STUFF"

And then in the zone itself...
Code:
#!/bin/bash

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
export PATH

echo "GETTING PHP 5.1.4"
wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-5.1.4.tar.bz2

echo "UNCOMPRESSING PHP"
bunzip2 php-5.1.4.tar.bz2
tar -xvf php-5.1.4.tar
cd php-5.1.4


echo "BUILDING PHP"
./configure --prefix=/opt/php --with-apxs2=/opt/httpd/bin/apxs --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-mysql=/usr/sfw
make
make install
cp php.ini-recommended /opt/php/lib/php.ini

echo "UPDATING APACHE CONFIGURATION"
echo "<IfModule php5_module>" >> /opt/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
echo "    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml" >> /opt/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
echo "</IfModule>" >> /opt/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

And php doesn't build fast. Installing on Linux (Redhat type distro) is:
Code:
yum install php

Solaris software management kinda sucks. Solaris rocks if you don't change anything, it's stable as hell and performs great. With a public web server with all sorts of software you have to keep updating and changing software. The other thing is ext3 seems to handle power failures a little better than UFS w/logging. As cool as ZFS is it's not bootable yet. Even though the data center has power generators I've still lost power a couple of times. There are a couple of other reasons but those are the big ones.

I didn't have a chance to get to the data center last night so it'll probably be tonight that I take it offline for a little bit.
