The server was suffering from a chronic shortage of memory so I took the opportunity to perform security updates on the server. The service was running since March and so hasn’t performed too badly. Hope to upgrade to new hardware soon which means increased memory allowance.

I will be upgrading some back-end services on Sat 5th March from about 10am. This will impact the Jabber service. I’m unsure how long this will take, but at worst I hope to have this back up again by 2pm.
[Updated: 10:55am 05/03/2011] Server is offline for this work.
[Updated: 1:30pm 05/03/2011] Server is up after the work.

Having tested Ejabberd 2.1 I expect to be migrating over to this at some point in the near future. It’s possible I will just do this when the ejabberd process crashes, but will update this blog entry with the latest news.
This upgrade should not require you to change anything, but it is possible that you may need to re-register with transports.
[Updated 12:40 27/01/2011] Server is down, migration work is underway.
[Updated 13:15 27/01/2011] Switchover to ejabberd 2.1 has completed and you should be able to log in again now.
[Updated 13:55 27/01/2011] Server experienced a few hiccups that have been fixed. All should be right again.

Service stability:
I’ve been having some issues with the stability of the server, this seems to be down to the connection between ejabberd and the database server (were user accounts are kept). I’ve been unable to resolve this problem but I have been doing my best to keep an eye on the server
Software upgrades:
The version of ejabberd & Debian I have been using have both been superseded and I have been in the process of testing both. I am currently testing both as well migration between versions and hope to be in a position to switch to updated versions soon. When this time comes I will, of course, let people know via this blog and Jabber MOTD.
