by River Tarnell 11 Jan '10

Hi, Later tonight I will be switching s1 to a new server, as described at <http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-announce/2010-January/00021…>. - river.

MySQL maintenance tonight
by River Tarnell 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi, We will be performing maintenance on MySQL tonight to fix the 'host is blocked because of too many connection errors' problem. This is being done earlier than expected because it's required for the new load-balanced MySQL servers. The total downtime should be under 20 minutes per server. This issue is being tracked in JIRA as MNT-165. - river.

screen, nano with $TERM="linux" on solaris
by Mike.lifeguard 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, On willow, there is no termcapinfo for linux, so I cannot use nano or screen (possibly other stuff, but that's what I discovered). Is this something I can fix? Something to send to JIRA? I normally use xterms, but others may not, and it'd be nice to have ttys work as expected in any event. Thanks, - -Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktGsUUACgkQst0AR/DaKHtzAQCfarsaReZBBzzyarqRizK1zMye jd4AniCTYGYsLTpzIJeQufaKL5zAz2vC =NrpK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

cache.stable.toolserver.org EOL
by River Tarnell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, I am about to decommission cache.stable.toolserver.org. Requests to the host will still work as before, but will go straight to the web server without being cached. This may return in the future as a cache for toolserver.org instead. - river.

by River Tarnell 07 Jan '10

Hi, amaranth (which serves web applications including JIRA and the wiki) is being shut down now in order to move it to a different rack. This will take a few minutes. Sorry about the short notice. - river.

yarrow (s1/3/4/6) restart
by River Tarnell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, yarrow, the database server for s1, s3, s4 and s6, has started to use too much memory and is swapping, which results in unacceptable performance. As a temporary workaround we will reduce the InnoDB buffer pool size and restart the server. The server will be offline for about 20 minutes while it restarts. - river.

s1 reimport
by River Tarnell 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hi, I am currently importing s1 into one of the new database servers to replace the damaged copy on rosemary. After the import is down, I will switch the s1 server, then put it in read-only mode to copy user databases. Downtime will be about half an hour to switch servers, and possibly a couple of hours for user database imports. After this is complete, we will start looking at providing redundant (failover) databases for each cluster, starting with s1. Hopefully that should happen within the next couple of weeks. - river.

by River Tarnell 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hi, amaranth will be rebooted later today to upgrade its operating system. This will result in about 5 minutes downtime of the web applications (JIRA, wiki, etc). - river.

Issue with Toolserver email forwarding (username@toolserver.org)
by River Tarnell 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi, There is currently an open issue that is preventing updates to the Toolserver email configuration from propagating to the mail server. This means that email forwarding for newly created accounts is not working, and changes to your Toolserver email address (using setmail) will not take effect. The issue is somewhat complicated and I will be away most of this week, so this won't be fixed until next week at the earliest. Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue is being tracked in JIRA as MNT-65. - river.

PHP upgrade
by River Tarnell 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, PHP was upgrade to 5.3.1. At the same time, the PHP PDO MySQL module was enabled. This should have no impact on users (unless you want to use PDO). - river.
