Subject: It's PHP upgrade time!

Hey, Matthew,

We want to let you know about an important PHP upgrade that affects the
following domains you have hosted at DreamHost.

  * http://jobs.lilug.org

  * http://planet.lilug.org

Starting on June 24th, we will begin automatically upgrading those domains
from PHP 5.2 to our current recommended version, PHP 5.4. You will get an
email when the upgrade is complete.

No need to worry -- if you find that your sites aren't working as expected
after the upgrade, you can immediately revert back to PHP 5.2 by going to
the Manage Domains tab of the DreamHost Panel
<https://panel.dreamhost.com/tab/domain.manage>.

We're upgrading PHP because:

  * PHP 5.2 is no longer getting security updates from the developers,
    php.net;

  * PHP 5.3 is will be unsupported by php.net by the middle of the year;
    and

  * PHP 5.4 is well tested, stable, and has been in production on sites
    around the world since March 2012. You can check out all the cool
    features on our wiki
    <http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Upgrading_PHP:_Overview_and_FAQs>.

Most of your sites should upgrade just fine from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.4.
However, there are some cases where sites with custom or third-party
scripts, or using out of date One-Click Installs can break. We strongly
suggest that you check out our wiki
<http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Upgrading_PHP:_Overview_and_FAQs> to see if
your site may be affected.

If you do decide you want to upgrade at your own speed, no problem! Just
turn off auto-upgrade in the panel by clicking 'delay' for your domain,
and take your time. Well, take as much time as you need as long as it's
before November 3rd, 2014, when PHP 5.2 will be completely removed from
our hosting environment!

If you are ready to update your sites to PHP 5.4 right now, click here
<https://panel.dreamhost.com/home> to begin.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact DreamHost Support
<https://panel.dreamhost.com/support>.

Thank you!
The DreamHost Support Team
