Server 6 Minor Issue

We wanted to post this as so far 4 clients seem to be affected.

Server 6 was coming end of life.  It was running Centos version 4 as well as older PHP and MySql versions.  Mainly due to the Centos4 operating system this box was upgraded to Centos 6 last week and at the same time we felt it was prudent to future proof this server and upgrade php and mysql.

It appears 4 clients (who have contacted us so far) are affected by this and your database driven sites are throwing errors.  We are resolving this issue simply by moving those clients to a different server with a slightly older (but not end of life) configuration. Unfortunately this is the disadvantage of shared hosting - we upgraded the server and a few users sites are broken as they appear not to be compatible with the new versions on the server.

The vast majority of users on the new server 6 are having no issues.  It just seems to be a small percentage of clients and mainly those running phpbb software.

If you are on server 6 and see any issues let us know and we can quickly move you off to another box.
