Hi all
Great to see Hemlock up and running.
Thanks.
However, it doesn't seem like it's
ready to go live yet, so, DaB, please wait some more days before
switching tools.wikimedia.de to hemlock, and also keep the accounts on
zedler around for a while.
Ok. I haven't ask akl until now, I can do it later of corse.
Here are some problems I found while trying to get my tools running on
hemlock. I think they are important to everyone, but some things can
only be resolved by admins:
* reportedly, several user accounts are still missing or inaccessible
Yes. AFAIS there were not all user in the user-file on zedler. Leon have
created a list for me, I'm creating them at the moment (after writing
this).
* mysql on zedler is missing grants @hemlock.ts-local
- no db access is
possible
Yes. I forgotten this, I'm sorry
* all .my.cnf files on hemlock need to have host =
zedler.ts-local
I can do this, but this is not realy needed, because "sql" works also.
* All scripts and config files using absolute pathes
have to be
adjusted. gnu tools, php, mysql, apache logs all changed location.
Perhaps a few symlinks would ease the pain.
I guess, it would be better, when the peole correct their scripts.
* crontab has not been copied. This should be done by
each user by hand
(because scripts need to be adjusted, secondary data needs to be
consistent, etc). But we need to know until when cron jobs on
login-services remain active - perhaps cron jobs can be kept running on
zedler for a while, and migrated when convenient.
ok
* There's still a lot of stuff missing on hemlock.
For example, i just
installed imagemagick and rsvg, river installed the replace utility.
Yes. A few user has allready filled bug-reports, I had created a special
"component" in the bugzilla for this now.
* Apache config is different from zedler. I just fixed
some problems
regarding symlinks and the DirectoryIndex directive. There are probably
more issues.
Ok. thanks.
* Apache logs are not public - not sure how to change
it. chmod fixes it
only until the next log rotation.
OK. I change it.
So, the transition isn't seamless and requires quite a bit of attention
for each user. Thus, we should give people a chance to get their stuff
running under
http://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/ before even thinking
of switching the domain.
Ok.
Regards
Daniel
Sincerly,
DaB.
