Emergency Server Updates 12/29

[Joe]

We're in the process of applying some patches to all servers regarding the php issues.

While we're installing them, there may be a brief period where websites are down/inaccessible. We're running these in order, once one is done, we're going on to the next. max downtime should be 5 minutes or so. These php / apache patches require that apache (http) be offline while they're running.

Thanks for your patience while we make the hosting environment here safer.

All servers have been completed.

During this maintence, we reviewed the following notes:

17,163 attempts by the santy worm were noted.

thanks for your patience.
