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.

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.

Thanks,
Nick
