Query.php will die soon
by DaB. 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hello all, as you can read in brions blog [1], the old query.php will die within 1 month. So you have (if you use it) to modify your tools or it will not work in september anymore. Sincerly, DaB. [1] http://leuksman.com/log/2008/07/30/queryphp-scheduled-to-die-monday-august-… -- wp-blog.de

Apparently, my mail never made it through
by Max Semenik 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

I sent the information requested by DaB to create my toolserver account to ts-admins(a)wikimedia.org, but apparently mail server @wikimedia.org hates me - Brion didn't receive my email some time ago. So, can I send the information to another address? -- Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

28 Jul '08

Is it just me or is DaB. editcounter on the stable server not functioning properly? I get the following error message on all requests: Gateway Timeout Processing of this request was delegated to a server that is not functioning properly. -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists. Personal emails sent to this address will probably get lost.

Uncle Sam wants you to use FastCGI PHP
by River Tarnell 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 so a while ago i tested FastCGI PHP instead of PHP CGI. unfortunately it had a few problems, particularly with long-running scripts. it's now possible to enable this selectively for particular files/directories. read <https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Switchboard> to find out how. please do this if you can, as it should help significantly with load on hemlock. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (SunOS) iEYEARECAAYFAkiHCGYACgkQIXd7fCuc5vLQ+QCgjOuPN40SLpaD0BSU0TN7mXEk 4ZgAoJv251HiADIy5UJxqtQNzN1WRSK6 =7l6e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Daniel Kinzler 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hello all We have now a table of 332 language codes together with their english and native names in the table toolserver.language - the list was compiled by Bjelleklang from the contents of MediaWiki's Names.php file. Thanks Bjelleklang! Enjoy, Daniel PS @Bjelleklang: I have modified the table structure a bit to fit better with the other tables in the toolserver database.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, some changes have been made to how SVN works. you can read about them here: <https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/New-style_Subversion_repositories> at the moment, there are no plans to retire the old-style repositories, so you can continue to use those if you like. all new accounts will have only new-style repositories. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (SunOS) iEYEARECAAYFAkh99Z8ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJCpgCgsARGvdGho0OEAobZ7CaC6SGi ipwAoJvckkKMu3QNKW4md9JsBSHAp0xZ =AdPD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Stefan Kühn 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hello! At the moment I and some other users of the dumps show every day/week/month at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ for a new dump. I use the dump of 10 different languages for my projects (Wikipedia-World, Template-Tiger, Persondata), so it is really work. I hope someone at this list can program a simple to use "Dump-Mail-Service". Maybe you have time, please do it! :-) I want a mail - for a list of language ( for example: de, en, fr and es) - if the new dump is complete (all files) - or if the file "pages-articles.xml.bz2" is complete Thanks for your help!
