yarrow (s1/s3) unplanned downtime
by River Tarnell 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, due to a failed linecard in the switch at knams, yarrow.toolserver.org, the database replica for s1 (enwiki) and s3, is currently offline. this means s1 and s3 clusters are inaccessible from all servers (including stable). hopefully someone will be able to visit the colo tomorrow and connect yarrow to a different card until the failed module is replaced. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (SunOS) iEYEARECAAYFAkjDFWoACgkQIXd7fCuc5vIHmQCgrYB2qGCX+Q9yePDUfNpTlIgu 4mEAoIR6ZWnJtFVmave88YJ7/xkRnSCH =uPU+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Fwd: [Toolserver-l] no more thumbnails (access denied to thumb.php)
by DaB. 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hello all, forwarded because Duesentrieb is missing on that list. Sincerlyy, DaB. Hello all As of today, access to thumb.php has been disabled for performance reasons. (Update: TimStarling offered to re-enable it for now. But it WILL go away SOON). Thumbnail images need to be accessed by their real path, like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Meerkatmascotfull.… Note that this will work for any size, if a thumbnail in the requested size doesn't exist, it is created on-the-fly. There are two problems with this: 1) you have to know if the image is on commons or not 2) you have to know the path for the images of a given wiki (in this case, "/wikipedia/commons") Note that Special:FilePath SHOULD NOT BE USED to get the URL of the full size image, for performance reasons. You should also NOT USE THE API to get the actual URL - for the same reason. We have to get all info needed locally from the toolserver, from the database or otherwise. The best solution IMHO would be a small script on the toolserver that, given a wiki, an image, and a size, will generate an HTTP redirect to the image file. This would require us to maintain a database of URL prefixes for all wikis - could be done as a new column in toolserver.wiki. And for each request, the script needs to run a query to see if the image is uploaded locally or not. I'll not be able to build such a script for a while, because I'm quite busy. DaB said he'd look into it. Let's hope for the best. -- Daniel PS: @river: this should really go to to toolser-announce. apparently, i can't post there. please change that :) _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list Toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l -- wp-blog.de
