To update on this: some unforeseen problems occurred with the upgrade, possibly because this is about the 6th OS upgrade that I've done over the lifetime of the server and little errors have mounted up.
So, I've done a complete wipe and re-install of the VM. Due to it being nearly Christmas, however, I'm not that confident about being able to reinstall freemap before Christmas, it might be Boxing Day or even the 27th. Apologies for this if you were planning on using freemap/fixmypaths/opentrailview before that, but given it's nearly Christmas I suspect many have other things on their mind! BTW has anyone had experiences with Bytemark's "Big V" VMs? They seem to offer higher spec VMs for lower cost than their standard VMs. Nick -----Nick Whitelegg <[email protected]> wrote: ----- To: [email protected] From: Nick Whitelegg <[email protected]> Date: 18/12/2013 08:47AM Cc: Cooper Dan <[email protected]> Subject: [Talk-GB] Warning: Freemap server upgrade tomorrow 19/12/13 Hello everyone, Just a quick warning: the Freemap server will have its OS upgraded tomorrow 19/12/13 from around 9am. This means that Freemap, FixMyPaths and OpenTrailView will be unavailable for a time tomorrow. It will also mean that the OpenTrail and Hikar apps will be unable to fetch data from the server. There is a small risk that something will go wrong with the server upgrade - last time I did it there were some postgres issues - meaning that the above sites could be out of action for a longer period, particularly as it's coming up to Christmas and I have lots of other things to do. However it is to be hoped that this will not happen. Apologies in advance if it does. Dan - sorry for such late reply on your latest email, just been v busy! Will try and get back to you today and will try and write the blog article over Christmas :-) Little time lately! BTW if you've been trying to use freemap in the past week and wondering why your area was not rendering there was a bug in the "render dirty tiles" cron job which has now been fixed.
