The data centre where our server resides is deploying some security patches. Which may point to the slow website. Should clear u relatively soon.

Flag on server:

Code: Select all

Dear Customer,

As part of our continuous security operations, we are deploying a mandatory security patch on our Public Cloud services (VPS and instances).

This action is preventive and controlled. The patch has already been tested, and our teams are overseeing the deployment progressively across our infrastructure.

There will be a service interruption lasting less than 30 minutes during the intervention affecting the concerned Public Cloud Instances and VPS.

Important information:
2 Virtual machines within the same PCI project that would be hosted on different physical hypervisors will not be restarted at the same time.
All Public Cloud API will remain available during the operation.
We remain committed to maintaining a secure, reliable, and transparent infrastructure for our customers.

Best regards,
The OVHcloud Team

Hi Mick and thanks for your response. The site was ok for me early yesterday morning then from about the hour before midday it became a hill of difficulty to get it to load. The posts I've managed to make since have not been easy as I've had to make multiple attempts to get the site to load to make them and the problem is still evident today at ~ 08.33. So it is approaching 24hrs since the site was last working ok for me which is a little more than what those working on the patch might be aware of. Maybe something else is going on too that could be adding to the problem so I post about this to give feedback in case it might be of some help. When I first tried the site this morning it failed to load and displayed the following message which is different to what I've received before re the Apache problem:

"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to http://www.75ztcommunity.co.uk. SSL received a malformed Server Hello handshake message. (Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO)

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Hi

I've not had any connection failures. (Not to say there have been at times I have not tried.) Currently things are still running much more slowly than I would find acceptable., but, pages do load eventually. If things don't improve soon, I will raise a ticket with the OVH and see if there is anything they can do to resolve the issue.

Bingo! Just tried again after getting home from a trip into town and the site is back to normal and working ok for me now at 13.17.

Certainly is . Must have been the patch installs. Which have now, according to another flag been completed.

Well done on the charity fund raising.

Good to see that all seems well again with the site. On reflection the site's feedback area is best suited for posts relating to the site so a bit of moving and cleaning to keep the threads and the site in order might not go amiss. I should have known better but in my defence I've yet to venture out to many areas of the site so lack familiarity with the layout. My post, 407, could be deleted. I tried to submit it during the go-slow and thought that my attempt had timed out so tried again with post 408. Only noticed what had happened and that both posts had appeared when I subsequently managed to get the site to load.
