Dear all, Since Tuesday I’ve started the upload of around 8000 pictures of amoeba, everything was going smoothly until yesterday afternoon.
It seems that at a moment we have saturated our own server with too many parallel request and the GWToolset start facing "HTTP request timed out » , as you can see in the GWToolset log https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtools... https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtoolset it the same story since yesterday around 5PM.
I’ve asked our CIO, and he told me that indeed GWToolset is using the whole bandwidth of our server :-(
Now I don’t know what to do? is there a moment GWToolset will stop doing request to the WMCH server? should we restart our server?
incidentally , the account used for setting the batch upload receive now several « Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (10.0.6.41) «
Do you think it’s related, I saw that someone already mentionned this error while using GWToolset.
Thanks to all for your help.
Cheers
Charles
