The host this runs on was upgraded just now. Runtime for the VM Ubuntu host was 399 days. Hats off to slidehost for that quality of service!

Upgrade went well - some config files showed up as modified so there were some keep/replace prompts. But in general pretty smooth.

Did lose the php-fastcgi daemon in the upgrade though. So that was a bit of a rough moment after the reboot when both http://whereslou.com and http://sparkviewengine.com were toast.

Fortunately a quick Google search turned up this blog post from Elderec which got me up and running again.
