Capybara.Org

Just upgraded the system to Centos 5.7 and the latest roundcube. Please let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks!

I’ve switched the default mail at https://mail.capybara.org to RoundCube instead of SquirrelMail. If you still want SquirrelMail, go to https://mail.capybara.org/old/ and you’ll be happy!

I’ve installed PostGrey greylisting software on the server. This should reduce spam by forcing unknown email senders to make a second attempt at delivering your email. It can cause a slight delay the first time you get a mail from a new person, but it reduces spam significantly.

You can learn more about it here:

What is Greylisting?

My dns provider, freedns.afraid.org, decided to disappear from the internet this morning. You may have noticed that capybara.org services were unreachable.

I’ve moved the DNS over to easydns.com, a professional DNS host. Hopefully they won’t disappear for a long time.

Sorry for the outage, things should be back to normal very soon.

Miso is now on CentOS 5.4.  Rejoice!

The upgrade was painless and nothing should be broken.  If it is, let me know!

Miso now has 3GB RAM. Thanks iWeb, for a great deal on the upgrade.

Well, the new drive that iWeb installed failed as well. They put in a new one this weekend, and things should be back to normal. Please let me know if you find any problems!

So, the server was getting slow on the weekend. A check of the logs showed that the disk was failing. I filed a ticket with iWeb (our ISP) for them to check it out.

A couple days later (after escalating the ticket and logging in to poke around) they replaced the drive.

The new drive had a fresh OS install, and they connected the drive back to the system so I could recover files from it.

You probably didn’t notice anything other than a few hours of downtime… and everything should be back the way it was. If you’re running into any problems, or find anything missing, just let me know!

Sun JDK 6u11 and ant have been installed! They should be on your path.
