Launching new version of FillPDF Service
We are launching a new version of FillPDF Service. We are doing this in a way to minimize downtime, but you may experience some. If all goes well, it should be more than 30-60 minutes. It's worth it :)
Scheduled maintenance postponed to Thursday, January 1, 2015
UPDATE: Due to a host issue with the new server, I am postponing this maintenance till Thursday. I'm not going to give a specific time window since most people are probably not working that day anyway.
UPDATE: Extended the maintenance window again. Again, the site will only be down for a short while during the last stage of maintenance. You might not even notice it.
There will be scheduled maintenance on fillpdf-service.com at the time in the title. The site might go down for a few minutes, although I am doing as much to mitigate this as possible. The site is being moved to a new server (my host is discontinuing the service it's currently on), and I expect it to be faster and more reliable following that.
Small uptime blip today, but it is resolved now. It looks like the host did an unannounced restart or something. I'll be switching hosts soon.
Update: Intermittent service issues
Service quality has gotten significantly better since last time, but I am still seeing blips in service. I am planning to migrate to new infrastructure this month (along with some other improvements) in order to rectify this.
I apologize for the trouble; please continue to get in touch if you get errors in the FillPDF module.
Network connectivity issues with host
Today (May 19) I have been getting reports of people experiencing the service being down. The server itself is not actually down, but there appear to be connectivity issues with the host. I have alerted them to this and am awaiting a reply.
Should you experience issues, it would be helpful if you could send the results of pinging fillpdf-service.com. This will help ensure a speedy resolution.
I am really sorry for the trouble.
Intermittent service issues
Some users are reporting issues with service, such as timeout errors. I've implemented measures to mitigate these, but please get in touch via the contact form if you experience problems and haven't already.
Stay tuned.
Maintenance complete
Everything is back online, so if you encounter problems, please get in touch.
Brief maintenance on fillpdf-service.com
fillpdf-service.com will be unavailable for a few minutes.
Testing emails
If you received unexpected emails from Fill PDF Service recently, please disregard these. The culprit is a testing copy.
API key issues resolved - some have changed
We have resolved API key issues to the best of our ability from backups. Yours may have changed, but if so, you only need to update the setting in Fill PDF on your sites that are using it. Your plan and usage limits haven't been affected.
API key issues
Some API keys may not be working. We're in the process of resolving this.
Back online
The host has now finished its maintenance. Very sorry for any inconvenience. I'll be looking into running multiple servers in the near future in order to keep operating in the event of an outage on one server.
Rack Move & Emergency RAID Maintenance
Emergency maintenance is currently taking place affecting customers on the following host nodes:
XEN1, OVZ1
As part of this process we have taken the opportunity to migrate the racks of these servers, as such maintenance would have had to have been planned anyway.
We anticipate all work will be finished by 03:30AM GMT today. If your VM remains unavailable beyond this time, please contact support.
Please accept our apologies for the trouble.
This is from the host. Fill PDF Service is affected (sorry about this).
We're back
The host finished the migration, and we're back. The site's IP has changed (and the SSL site's IP will change once more, probably today), so if you rely on these, keep that in mind.
Other than that, full steam ahead.
Feb 26 @ 5 AM - Host migrating server - 1 hour of downtime
My host has decided to migrate the server running Fill PDF Service to what should actually be a better location for most users. This is scheduled to happen sometime during a 4-hour window on Sunday, February 26. The window within which this will happen is 5 AM-9 AM Pacific Standard Time (13:00-17:00 GMT).
Please plan accordingly.
Tips on dealing with large databases?
I'm finding that when databases get larger than 100 megs or so, full-database dumps and restores are not as practical. Given that I normally work with Drupal, what can I do to avoid needing to do a full dump-and-restore? I don't really want to figure out how all the tables relate to one another every time, but some sort of differential dump (only dump what's changed since last dump) would be nice.
The idea is that if I only run one update script, which only touches a few tables, then I only want to restore those tables to how they were. I shouldn't have to sit through 20 minutes of restoration because of a mistake that took a few seconds to happen.
Tips veeeery welcome!
(And I'm using MySQL.)
SSL certificate really fixed
This was inadvertently posted on Kevin Kaland's Developer Blog 2 weeks ago. They share the same Tumblr account.
The intermediate certificate used to configure SSL on https://fillpdf-service.com was the incorrect one for when the SSL certificate was generated. This caused errors on some browsers and for users connecting to the service over SSL.
This is has now been corrected, and http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=fillpdf-service.com confirms that the certificate is now trusted in all browsers.
Apologies again for the trouble. And, just to mention it again, Fill PDF Service has always had a valid SSL certificate from the day it began offering SSL connections.
