DreamHost Status

Wordpress 2.1.1 is a “low-to-medium” priority update with a few bugfixes. WP-Cache has been needing an update for a while, sorry for the delay! WP-Cache is installed but not enabled by default — you’ll have to log in to your wp-admin page and go under the “Plugins” page to activate it.

The dreamhost.com DNS zone is currently having troubles, so most hostnames within this zone are not resolving. This shouldn’t have any effect on customer sites’ DNS, only central DreamHost services that use the dreamhost.com domain (wiki, panel, etc).

We missed our target date by a couple of days but that has allowed us to jump to php 5.2.1 instead of 5.2.0. We will be installing the new packages little by little on all of our servers beginning today. If you are using PHP 5 (the default is still php4 so you […]
