Downtime for www.cacert.org on July 23, 2014

On July 23, the CAcert webdb server will be unavailable for most services from 10:00 CEST until approximately 11:30 CEST.

The reason for this is the need to convert the database from MyISAM format to InnoDB format, to address https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=1172

We cannot predict exactly how long this conversion will last, but it is estimated to be less than 90 minutes. During this time, the server will remain up and running. The web frontend will also remain up and running, but with very limited functionality only (no user logins), due to the database being offline.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this major but necessary operation.
