05 Feb '10

Hi, The stable server will be shut down permanently in two weeks, i.e. on the 18th. This follows a 4 month migration period for moving tools. Any tools that have not yet migration will be inaccessible after that date. (However, any remaining files will be backed up.) hyacinth (the current stable server) will be repurposed as a redundant/fast database server. - river.

Changes to expired accounts web hosting
by River Tarnell 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

Hi, In the past, when an account was expired, it was still possible to access its public_html. This has now changed. Any HTTP requests to an expired account will return an error page indicating that the account has expired. The files in public_html are not deleted, and will become accessible again if the account is ever un-expired. - river.

DNS aliases for fast database servers
by River Tarnell 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, There are now DNS aliases for the fast database servers, under fastdb.toolserver.org. For example, if you currently connect to enwiki-p.db.toolserver.org, connect to enwiki-p.fastdb.toolserver.org instead to use the fast server. (For now only enwiki has a fast server, but we will be adding them for other clusters in the next few weeks.) - river.

Unplanned downtime, 2009-02-01
by River Tarnell 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi, There was some unplanned downtime on the HA cluster today causing an outage of the platform. The downtime was caused by an upgrade of the software on one node. We will investigate the cause of the failure before upgrading the other node. Due to the nature of the NFS failure, you may need to restart any background or screened programs you had running. - river.
