Today, Thursday, February 1st, at approximately 3 PM EDT, we will be applying critical security updates to the following VPS nodes:
VPS1
VPS2
VPS3
VPS4
This will require reboots of each node.
Q. How can I determine which VPS node I am hosted on?
A. Traceroute to your VPS, and one of the last hops will appear as eq.ash.v#.myriadnetwork.com, where "#" will be the number that corresponds to the node you are hosted on.
Q. How long will the downtime be?
A. This is not able to be determined until the maintenance is fully complete. Any VPS nodes that have maintained prolonged periods of uptime may require an automatic file system check (fsck). The length of time for fsck runs depends directly on the size of the disk. Some VPS nodes have larger disks than others.
Q. I was not notified about the downtime!
A. Please, visit the following thread which explains how to automatically receive notifications, via email, of new threads posted in the Server & Network Status forum: Automatically receive notifications (http://forum.myriadnetwork.com/showthread.php?t=113)
Q. FTP isn't working since my server was rebooted.
A. The cause is almost surely due to the FTP service not being in the startup scripts.
There are 2 options for restarting the service:
1. If you are using cPanel, log into WHM, and under the Restart Services section, and click the "FTP Server (ProFTPd/PureFTPd)" link. Or,
2. As root from the shell:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pure-ftpd start
If you want FTPd to start up at reboot time, add the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pure-ftpd start
Alternately, you could do it the most common way, which is to add the symlink inside /etc/rc.d/rc3.d to point to /etc/rc.d/init.d/pure-ftpd (note that this assumes your ftpd service is PureFTPd, and not another service).
