Hi all,

Just to close the issue on the server down : I thought because of the scheduled electrical work in the building that it was the reason, so I did not worry much.

However, the actual reason was that the certificate expired on 15/12 :-)

The server being accessible from the internal network, the guys in charge did not notice the problem at first.

Best wishes,

Fabrice

Agreed, and I have been doing this for long time.

Nobody says something about afew hours. Fail-over or redundancy is not
to be expected in these suroundings, and down-time is normal.
But we are going into the second week now AFAIR.

I don't think that it would be disastrous, only more complicated to make
changes. The advantage of "home-maintained" servers are that we can do
changes quickly, easily, and without a lot of red-tape. That is great,
I agree.

But there are also advantages on the other side, it is not all
black/white.

Best

Norbert
