hi,
the next expiration date for toolserver accounts is 23rd December, 2008. if
you want to keep your account past this date, you should send a mail to
river(a)loreley.flyingparchment.org.uk, with "toolserver expiration" in the
subject, and your account name in the body of the mail.
if you do not follow these instructions (for example, you send your request to
the mailing list instead of the address above), your request will be ignored,
and your account will expire.

hi,
in one week i plan to enable the new web server on hemlock. this will
hopefully solve the problems people are seeing with long-running scripts.
until then, people should test their sites with the new server. you can do
this by using 'toolserver.org:81' in the URL, instead of 'toolserver.org'. for
example, if your tool is at:
http://toolserver.org/~johnsmith/mytool.php
you would use:
http://toolserver.org:81/~johnsmith/mytool.php
if everything works correctly, you do not need to do anything.
if you have a problem, and cannot solve it yourself, please let me know and
i'll investigate.
if you use rewrite rules, you need to convert them to the new server's rewrite
format. this page explains how to do that:
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/ZWS
please do not distribute the toolserver.org:81 URLs (except for testing), as
they will stop working in a week. if you are having problems with the current
web server, and would like to be moved to the new one before a week, let me
know. people who requested this during the last test have been moved to the
new server already. that is: kalan agony luxo pathoschild
the final change to the new web server, assuming there are no major problems,
will be Tuesday, 2nd December.

hi,
it's now possible to access phpMyAdmin without an SSH tunnel to hemlock. the
new URL is <https://phpmyadmin.toolserver.org>. you will need to authenticate
with your toolserver username and LDAP password (*not* MySQL password) to
access phpMyAdmin, then log in to phpMyAdmin with your MySQL password.

hi,
due to problems at Wikimedia, the s2-master server's binlogs were corrupted.
this means replication on s2 is now halted.
re-starting replication will require dumping the cluster and re-importing it on
zedler. this means it will be at least a few days before replication is
re-started.

hi,
today we experienced a 6-second power failure at SARA, the colocation facility
where the toolserver is hosted. this affected both us and Wikimedia (who
provide our hosting there).
this affected all servers except willow (stable), which was connected to a
different circuit and remained up. while hemlock also didn't lose power, its
NFS server (zedler) and LDAP server (nightshade) were both down.
as no administrator was immediately available, and the platform did not restart
graciously, total downtime was around 5 hours.
i will investigate the problems preventing an automatic recovery after restart,
to reduce the downtime if this should happen again.
this downtime does not affect the maintenance currently scheduled for Monday.

hi,
with the maintenance on Monday, the old stable server (stable.ts.wikimedia.org)
will be shut down. old URLs will turn into redirects to the new server.
files still present on old stable will be kept, but if you have files there you
want to keep, you should copy them across before the shutdown, to reduce load
on the administrators.
