trouble with HTTP uploading to the toolserver
by Ryan Kaldari 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello all, I just got my account set up on the toolserver and I was playing around with trying to get multi-file flash uploading working. Unfortunately, I get the following error each time: HTTP_ERROR - The file upload was attempted but the server did not return a 200 status code. I have the uploads directory set to be world writable, and I'm pretty sure I have the path info set correctly in the script. Is there anything special I need to do in order to be able to upload files to the toolserver (via a php script hosted on the toolserver)? Do you know if mod_security is turned on for example? The script works fine in the other hosting environments I've tried (local and a shared web host). If no one has any ideas off the bat, I'll try to do some more debugging. Thanks! If anyone wants to try it out for themselves: http://toolserver.org/~kaldari/uploadphotos.php?event=4 Ryan Kaldari

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, we have now moved LDAP to the HA cluster. as part of the move we changed the LDAP server software from OpenDS to Sun DSEE. this might cause odd interactions from 'setpass' or 'passwd'; if you notice any problems, please file a request in JIRA. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkrzvGQACgkQIXd7fCuc5vI5EACeILDtpw/r6yyag8IidoILP767 88cAoLmKf/M3kwD/t0rxXDmPQ0hiv/4V =6rUj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

More advanced watchlists
by Lars Aronsson 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

==Watch a category of articles== 2010 is election year in Sweden, so I want to keep an eye on all articles in category:Swedish politicians, in recursive levels. I now do this on a weekly basis, using CatScan, http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php I set wiki = sv.wikipedia.org search in category = svenska politiker with depth = 7 for changes in last 168 hours (= 7 x 24 = one week) save as CSV format I then filter the output using the UNIX command line awk '$1==0 {print $2}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr to get a listing of which articles got the most edits. It would be nice to intersect this search with category:Living people, so dead politicians are filtered out. Are there already any smarter tools to do this? ==Watch a local community== For a local history project, I want to involve users close to me. These are found in category:Users in (my home town). From that category I can view "related changes", but that only covers changes to their user pages. I want to see contributions made by this group of users. Are there any tools for this? If contributions to sv.wikipedia and Wikimedia commons could be combined in one list, that would be all the better. -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, Subversion (svn.toolserver.org) has been moved from amaranth to our new high availability cluster. we will be monitoring it to make sure everything is working correctly before moving other services to the cluster, e.g. NFS and LDAP. no change is required from users, but you may have to wait up to an hour (from 16:09 UTC) for DNS changes to propagate before you can access svn.toolserver.org. please report any problems in JIRA. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkrvBI0ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vLzVACeM8+g8ZVOHOWT90uE3o+bFnXn DboAoJE44ibuAJ3/euZzemQAp11lgB17 =1yKp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
