Updates

[Corey]

Hi All,

Today we will be upgrading cPanel on all our free servers. This may cause periods of slowness as it does take roughly an hour or so to complete.

I will also be recompiling all PHP versions to 5.2.9 and adding support for some requested extensions in all versions.

Later tonight we will be adding about 15,000 accounts to the termination queue. We stopped terminating suspended accounts since the new site launch just in case there were any bugs. We also wanted to allow everyone ample time to unsuspend themselves from inactivity. We will be getting back on schedule now with our suspensions and terminations. This will greatly improve server stability once complete.

Questions?

We do not provide support in news threads

woah 15000 accounts?
lets see

15000 x 500MB = 7500000MB / 1024 = 7324 Gigs or 7.1 TB of space they could be using

how much storage do you have on your free servers(i know most hardly use any of there storage)

[TechAsh]

We do not have that much storage (I'm not sure of the exact figure). However most of the account that will be deleted are using none to only a couple of MBs of space.

This isn't so much about freeing up space but getting rid of entries in a lot of configuration files and other places that really slow things down. Apache takes a lot longer to restart for example when there are 100,000 unneeded lines :P

cPanel updates were successful. I had to re-do some configurations with PHP for some changes to 5.2.9. It is currently recompiling on all servers and will be done within the hour. I will then move on to the terminations. If all testing goes well we will run it live later tonight. It will most likely take a few days to get through all the terminations.

I just wanted to say thanks for all of the work and updates.

For all those complaining about the GD Library, it's now part of my standard free hosting package and works great!

Thanks again

Will this cPanel update fix the Account Inactivity Timer?

In my cpanel on Lotus it shows that the Inactivity Counter is not working (it shows on red text) and it shows some HTTP error at the header of the cpanel. It started showing this when the Lotus server was restored.

I can't check it right now to copy the text, but I think you know what I mean.

I believe that the inactivity timer was coded in by our admins. When it's ready, it's ready and will show.

The cpanel upgrade I imagine would fix that http error in the header.
