In an effort to bring more services and features to our clients, we will be performing a control panel upgrade starting at 10:30 PM CST on Saturday, February 8th, 2014. Here the control panel will be upgraded from Hsphere 3.6.2 to Hsphere 3.6.3.
New features that will be made available are:
1) Apache 2 upgraded to 2.2.26.
2) PHP 5.5 for Linux support.
3) PHP 5.4 and 5.5 for Windows support (Windows 2008+ servers only).
4) Mod_fcgid support with PHP.
5) Mod_htscanner support (only for Apache 2).
6) ISC BIND upgraded to 9.9 branch.
7) PhpMyAdmin upgraded to 4.0 branch.
8) JDK for Linux upgraded to 7 update 45.
9) DNS TXT resource records may be up to 512 characters length.
10) Multiple DNS TXT resource records allowed for the same name.
11) Added XML API methods to report DB quota usage.
Upgrade process :-
================
Hsphere upgrade of entire cluster will be done in phases. Expected time to completion is 48 - 72 hours per cluster.
Phase I: The first phase being the control panel server itself, this will involve the control panel services being completely down for about 3-4 hours. Control panel will again be intermittently down at various times during the rest of upgrade process.
Phase II: In the second phase Linux DNS, Web, Mail and MySQL servers will be updated next.
Estimated Named services downtime is 10-20 minutes per Linux DNS server.
Estimated Web services downtime is 30-60 minutes per Linux web server.
Estimated Mail services downtime is 30-60 minutes per mail server.
Estimated MySQL services downtime is 30-60 minutes per MySQL server.
We do not anticipate that the above services will be completely down for the above mentioned time but they may be intermittently down during the upgrade process. We shall post it on the forums about the servers that are going to be upgrade in line.
Phase III: In the third phase, Windows Web servers will be updated.
Windows servers may reboot once or twice in the process. Also note that we are continuing to upgrade Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2008 R2 and making regular announcements via forums, twitter, and Facebook on such upgrades. If your server is not on 2008 or higher yet, it will be in the near future so all of the PHP upgrades and other enhancements will apply to all customers in the coming 2 months.
