(Another) Software update coming

It's that time again, the phpBB folks have released an update to the software that runs the Skirt Café and it's time to apply the patches.

As always, I prototyped the update on a running replica of Skirt Café that I keep in my lab at home and it went without a hitch.

Currently I'm aiming at about 20:00 GMT to make the change on the real system. Film, as they say, at eleven. I am not anticipating any difficulties, but there may be a very slight bump if anybody's online when I apply it.

The change went in a little early -- at about 19:45 UTC. If there are any problems, please let me know!

It might just be the time of day, ( less busy? ) but at the moment, the only change I see, is that the site is responding much faster.

Everything seems to be working OK, but I do see the message
  • Fatal: Not able to open ./cache/data_global.php
at the bottom of most pages.

I missed that one. It turns out that it was stale permissions left over from yesterday and should be fixed now.
