- Reconfigured /tmp ownership and related security issues (mounted as a filesystem, noexec, nosuid)
- Updated Kernel
- Fixed OpenVz Custom Kernel errors and security bugs
- Fixed OpenVZ boot options
- Tightened PHP on shared hosting environment
- Enabled and configured SuPHP

Our servers are back online. Downtime lasted a bit longer than was expected. It seems we compiled two kernels in our previous update – one that supported OpenVZ virtualization, and one that didn’t. We actually loaded the kernel with no OpenVZ support first, and later realized our mistake. The server was restarted once more, and the correct kernel was loaded.
Total Downtime: 18 minutes

The server is now being restarted. Please visit the Scheduled Server Reboot Post for an explanation.

We will be restarting all servers – including customer Virtual Private Servers – at 2:00 PM (02/05/10) Server Time. We’ve updated the server kernel quite some time ago, however we’ve tried to avoid a server reboot as much as possible. All kernel updates must be accompanied by a server reboot in order to have the changes take effect.
Server Maintenance: 2:00 PM (02/05/10) SERVER TIME
