Problem with “fry” server (resolved)

8:52 PM Pacific time: We’re investigating a problem with the “fry” hosting server that’s requiring us to restart it; further details in a few minutes.

Update 9:42 PM Pacific time: The “fry” server was restarted, but a technician will be doing some maintenance on the server for approximately an hour. This will require a reboot, meaning the server will be unavailable for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. Web service will be unavailable during that time. E-mail service on that server also will be unavailable; delivery of new incoming mail will suspend during that time and then resume when the server comes back; no e-mail will be lost.

All others servers are unaffected.

Update 10:50 PM Pacific time: The “fry” web server will be rebooted in about 10 minutes, at approximately 11:00 PM Pacific time.

Update 11:10 PM Pacific time: The “fry” web server was successfully rebooted as planned. There may be more maintenance on the server this weekend; watch our blog or follow us on Twitter for updates.
