Issue with Toolserver email forwarding (username@toolserver.org)
by River Tarnell 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hi, There is currently an open issue that is preventing updates to the Toolserver email configuration from propagating to the mail server. This means that email forwarding for newly created accounts is not working, and changes to your Toolserver email address (using setmail) will not take effect. The issue is somewhat complicated and I will be away most of this week, so this won't be fixed until next week at the earliest. Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue is being tracked in JIRA as MNT-65. - river.

libjpeg was upgraded
by River Tarnell 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hi, You can ignore this message unless you have C or C++ programs or libraries linked directly against 'libjpeg', the IJG JPEG library. (The vast majority of users will not have any such programs.) libjpeg on the Solaris systems (willow and wolfsbane) has been upgraded from version 6b to version 7. This means the old libjpeg.so.62 no longer exists; it is replaced with the incompatible libjpeg.so.7. You will need to recompile and relink your programs to use the new libjpeg. This doesn't affect programs that use libjpeg indirectly, e.g. via the ImageMagick C/C++ interfaces, since all TS-provided software depending on libjpeg has already been relinked. - river.

Cluster s1 needs reimport
by DaB. 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hello all, yesterday we noticed, that our s1-cluster (that's enwp) is corrupt (that means that we don't have all data and/or not in the right way as the master). That means that we will need a re-important soon. Please look at https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-104 to see the process. Sincerly, DaB. P.S: River told me now, that we can perhaps minimize the downtime of s1 this time - we will see. -- wp-blog.de

Hi, PHP was upgrade to 5.3.1. At the same time, the PHP PDO MySQL module was enabled. This should have no impact on users (unless you want to use PDO). - river.

by River Tarnell 29 Dec '09

Hi, MySQL on yarrow (s3, s4, s6) crashed and restarted. This is a known problem and has happened before; however, we've now made a configuration change that might prevent it from happening in the future. This issue is being tracked in JIRA as MNT-58. - river.

Reminder: move your projects off stable
by River Tarnell 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hi, As announced two months ago, we are planning to EOL the stable server in favour of multi-maintainer projects on the normal Toolserver. The following projects are still running on the stable server: * geohack * wma * delinker We intend to repurpose the hardware currently used for the stable server to provide redundancy database replication, but this can't happen until all projects have migrated off the stable server. - river.

Killing of many sql-connections on s1
by DaB. 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello all, today we run into a deadlock-situation on rosemary (that's the sql-server for s1 (that's primary the english wikipedia)) where many queries seems to block each other (see [MNT-60] for some details). To end this deadlock, I killed all queries, even the *SLOW-OK* ones. So if you had run a query between 12 o'clock and 16'o clock and it was killed, that was me, please restart it if needed. Sincerly, DaB. -- wp-blog.de

Unscheduled downtime, Wed 16th
by River Tarnell 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

hi, we had an outage of ~5 hours affecting all login servers from 04:15 UTC to around 09:30 UTC. the issue was fixed fairly quickly once noticed, but it took some time for an admin to be contacted. the outage was caused by a misconfiguration on the cluster which prevented switching the NFS service from a failed node to a working one. the misconfiguration has been fixed, so failover should work correctly in the future. (this was our first unscheduled cluster failover, so it hadn't been tested before.) a full description of the outage is available in MNT-56. - river.
