YPP Server Upgrades

This is just a little public service announcement. Tonight we will again be switching servers, and so you may experience some downtime with YPP. Last week PHP four, the dynamic language that is one of the pillars that Drupal stands upon, was officially declared "dead". While we could have waited for a few weeks or months to upgrade, I decided just to get it over with now, since I have a bit of time to troubleshoot this week and will be out of the country for two weeks in September. I haven't heard of any problems with sites once they make the jump from PHP 4 to 5, but there may be some. If you experience any, please shoot me an e-mail.

One things I am certain will happen is that some people will get redirected to the old server after the ips are switched. Please try repairing your network connection if this happens, and if you're missing any content after the move, again, shoot me an e-mail.

Thanks!

update If you are reading this message than you are now looking at YPP on its new and improved server. If you're not reading this message, than we didn't want you here anyway. Just kidding, but that did go much smoother than I thought it would.

good job

every other time this has happened it's messed with my access, but this time I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't written about it. Good job!
