Issues With CP.Blacknight.com

We are currently experiencing an issue with the control panel which is preventing users from logging in.

Our technical team is aware of the situation and is working on it.

UPDATE 1433 - the control panel is currently accessible and we will update this post if we get any more details or see any further issues




cp.blacknight.com scheduled downtime

TrackBacks (0) Comments (0)
Summary: Tonight Monday March 1st we're moving the Provisioning node known as OSSCORE to new hardware. This is due to the sheer volume of customers going into the system on a daily basis. This has caused our provisioning back end to get slower and slower which is causing cp.blacknight.com (web hosting) to slow down.

When: March 1st 2010 starting at 22:00 until 01:00 on March 2nd.

What: From 22:00 hours we'll be working on the migration, the cp on cp.blacknight.com will be turned off for the duration of this migration in order to prevent inconsistencies

Services affected: Management of your web hosting plans, e-mail, databases etc will not be available during this window but your hosting will be unaffected.

Update 23:00: this window has been completed successfully a full 2 hours early.

Ragnell is currently having issues which is causing it to become unresponsive. There is an engineer on site getting it backup, and it should reappear within the next 10mins.

Balin Downtime

TrackBacks (0) Comments (0)
At around 15:30 balin.blacknight.ie stopped responding to requests. As we had an engineer on site who also couldn't log in locally, we rebooted it straight away and it was back up by 15:40.

While we don't know exactly what caused the issue yet, it looks like server was run out of memory, possibly due to a massive surge of queries to MySQL.

Summary: Tomorrow morning starting at 04:00 our billing system bound within the "billing" tab of cp.blacknight.com is going to be upgraded by 2 minor revisions.

Details: During the upgrade our billing system will be unavailable. This means that domain and hosting purchases, upgrades, licence upgrades and domain contact, name server management will all be unavailable. The upgrade shouldn't take longer than about 2 hours so it will be finished by 6am.

During this window we'll be installing a new build of our own registrar and payment plugins. The payment plugin has no updates but the registrar plugin has some fixes that we've been waiting to deploy.

Your hosting, e-mail and other ancillary services shouldn't be affected bar a restart of iis and apache post upgrade. These should all be staged and shouldn't cause more than a minute or twos down time for your websites.
