What: www.ibiblio.org web server upgrade
When: Mon, 20 Sept 2004, 9 am EDT (local time)

Next Monday morning, we will be migrating www.ibiblio.org/metalab.unc.edu
to a set of new web servers. This change affects http://www.ibiblio.org,
http://metalab.unc.edu, and http://sunsite.unc.edu sites, but not other
.org, .net, and .com hosted sites. This is the first in a series of
upgrades and migrations that we hope will significantly improve
performance and service for everyone.

The new configuration is available at http://www1.ibiblio.org

The following changes will take affect:

- web server system upgrade to Redhat Enterprise Linux 3
(This includes significant library and other software changes.
Perl 5.8, for example.)
- Apache 1.3.31
- PHP 4.3.8
- Squid (in accel mode) for server-side caching
- An IP address change for www.ibiblio.org, metalab.unc.edu, and
sunsite.unc.edu to 152.2.210.80

Since this upgrade involves DNS record changes, you may notice some delay.
It may take as much as a week for DNS caches around the world to pick up
the changes.

Again, this upgrade does not affect hosted domains, i.e. sites other than
www.ibiblio.org, metalab.unc.edu, and sunsite.unc.edu. We'll start the
upgrade process soon for the other servers.

Please test the new configuration at http://www1.ibiblio.org. As usual,
if you have any questions, send email to help AT ibiblio.org.

Thanks,

-jrr
