Database corruption
by Daniel Kinzler 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hi all some parts of the toolserver db appear to be corrupt, or at least not replicated right. People are complaing that my Gallery.php tool has started to report many images as "orphans" even though they are correctly categorized. I investigated a bit and found that there appear to be a lot of entries missing from commonswiki_p.categorylinks; Try this query on the toolserver db, and then on a live db, for comparison: SELECT cl_to as cat FROM categorylinks where cl_from = 793855; (categories for http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:ButtonOrange.svg) that returns five categories on the live server, but nothing on the toolserver. Not... good... Any idea what could have cause this, or how to fix it? How to avoid such stuff in the future, or at least detect it early? Maybe we could check the size of some tables every so often or something... Regards, Daniel

[IMPORTANT] MySQL user database backup scripts are NOT being run
by River Tarnell 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

usually, each user's MySQL database is backed up nightly to an external host, in case of disk failure or other loss of data. currently, this is NOT being done, because of the following MySQL bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=24070 therefore, you should take your own backups of any important data. i will inform the list when this bug is resolved. - river.

PhpMyAdmin is back
by DaB. 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hello all, I have finish the installation of phpMyAdmin at hemlock. It can be find at [1]. But it is not accessible by the web, only by localhost. You have to use a ssh-tunnel. At linux, you can use ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org . Login at hemlock and you can find phpmyadmin at [2]. The windows guys can use putty in the same way (look for "tunnel" and google a bit). If there are questions, please mail me :). Sincerly, DaB.

Hello all, Duesentrieb and I solved the problem with the post-parameters. The problem was a module, which I have had installed today to reject a DOS. I have disable it now.

It should be a couple of minutes (just rebooting). Sorry for making problems again :( Sincerly, DaB.
