next time, check httpd/error_log

might encounter php74 fpm not reachable

if it is this a simple
systemctl restart php74-php-fpm.service

but still this should not happen.

I've left it up and running for a couple of days and all seems OK. I've not been able to reproduce the problem so fingers crossed it's was an anomaly.

A quick update. Nothing to see here :)

I took the test box off line for a couple of weeks and brought it back up this morning. All seems fine still, the server manager update went without a hitch and I'm struggling to find a reason not to go 'live' with it. I'll keep it up for another week to keep an eye on it and find some time to set it up again as a production box.

After much procrastination I've built my production SME10, restored, added a couple of packages and checked what I can.

So far, so good as far as I can tell.  The work station backup is scheduled as before and will presumably continue to backup, eventually replacing the old SME9's.  (I do a rolling 3 time full backup)

Is there anything else I should quickly check before starting to collect mail ?

I can then turn off the old SME9 machine(s) ? (I run affa on a second machine, but that will have to wait).

Only thing of late as in last week or so has been the upstream changes made to dehydrated :-( caught a few by surprise with letsencrypt certs etc easily updated once it was known, would have been nice to have had a warning and leadtime etc, a bit MS like :-) have also been a couple of other updates to core packages of late but they were specific.

Other than that safety first, set old sme9 aside in cotton wool until happy :-)

Sounds a plan. All seems OK so far....
