Hello,
we have an issue with Jira authentication since 25th August.
It seems the syncronisation with the crowd server is broken but I dont know why and filed a bug at Atlassian.
Cheers
Marlen
We've been receiving messages from this domain at unblock(a)toolserver.org
and they appear to be related to this:
<http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/l44r1/i_just_got_this_email_at_work_i_…>.
Viral advertising for some film. In reality, it's a message with a
crapload of images attached serving no purpose for us.
Can we just block this whole domain from sending mail to toolserver
accounts? It's a nuisance, and the messages are quite large.

Hi,
for those of you not having seen TS-1553, mail forwarding
seems to have stopped working. So if you haven't received
the usual job reports that you were expecting, you might
want to login to all servers and check if there is mail for
you. You can query all servers by:
| for SERVER in clematis hawthorn nightshade ortelius willow wolfsbane yarrow; do
| ssh $USER(a)$SERVER.toolserver.org ls -l /var/mail/$USER
| done
replacing $USER with your username.

Hello all,
wikidata has made it on the toolserver today. The database is called
"wikidatawiki_p" (don't ask me…) and its is home on s3. Because I guessed that
many joins to it will happen in future, I created also copies on all clusters
with the exception of s6 and s7 (will happen later); so you can join it in the
same way as commons.
Sincerely,
DaB.

Hello all,
this is only for the tomcat-users, so most of you can ignore this eMail.
To solve TS-1550 [1] I decided to remove the postgresql-jar from tomcat's lib-
directory. If you need postgresql in your war, please include it there,
because I will remove the postgresql-jar at
Friday, 2. November 20 UTC.
I will also restart the tomcat-program afterwards.
Sincerely,
DaB.

Hello,
tomorrow a switch in one rack will be replaced. This means some downtime of about 30 min probably tat will occur between 9 am and 13 am utc.
Sorry for not having a better time frame but the exact arrival of the onsite technician is not know to me.

Hello all,
I thought it is time for another status-update, because some things happened
in the last days.
==s1-dump==
WMF and WMDE finally found an agreement that makes it possible for the
toolserver to get dumps again. As a first step the wmf-techs created a
s1(enwp)-dump for us. I transfer this dump at the moment to our cluster.
Somewhere on the way between Virginia and Amsterdam is a rate-limiting we have
to find, but otherwise the hole thing looks quite good.
When the dump is there, I will import it on thyme (during the import sql-s1-rr
will point to rosemary), than switch rosemary read-only, dump the user-
databases, import the user-databases to thyme and let point sql-s1-user to
thyme. After that Nosy will dump commons from rosemary to re-create sql-s4-
user on z-dat-s4-a. After that I will import the wmf-dump also on rosemary and
we should have 2 correct s1-hosts again.
Details when something will happen will be in a future eMail.
==TS-future==
It was not possible for me the convince the Vorstand of WMDE to create a
budget-position for the toolserver for the year 2013. To solve this I have
sent a request for the general member meeting few minutes ago. You can find the
request at [1] in german language. To summarize the account:
-Non-ending of the toolserver.
-Buying of 5 additional database-servers for 2012 at the beginning of 2013.
-Further extension in 2013 and behind.
-WMDE will pay for the hosting if WMF decide it will no longer do that.
-WMDE does all it can to convince WMF to provide db-replication and dumps.
-WMDE will continue to pay a sysop for the TS.
The general meeting can (and I guess will) change the request before it vote
about it, so we have to see what we get.
==University==
This week my university started again and so I have less time for the
toolserver than in the last months. So please accept if some thing will take a
little longer. I also can not be in IRC as often as I would like. So if you
find a problem or need something: Fill in jira-request and try to reach Nosy.
Sincerely,
DaB.

Hello all,
yesterday I removed ([1],[2]) the last reminders of /sge62 (our old SGE-
installation we left in June) from our systems.
Until now 3 users had problems with missing SGE-components ([3]). If you have
problems too, please take a look at your PATH and if it looks ok, please add a
comment to [3] so we can find the problem together.
Sincerely,
DaB.
P.S: I removed only /sge62 — /sge (our current SGE-installation) is good and
fine.

Hello all,
I'm trying to retrive image and attribution information related to
wikimedia commons images.
As an example, I'm using the following url:
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonsapi.php?image=Hoodoos_in_the_Bryce_Can…
The issue is that server takes some times to provide information. Is not
really fast.
I dont't if this happen since I'm calling the server from italy.
Is there any faster local server?
If not, is there any dump (xml or sql) that I can download?
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm new to the toolserver and I'm trying to install a web application[1].
I created a database on sql-s1-user to which I can connect via my PHP
code. Also I have a C program that needs to connect as well. If I call
the C program from the command line, it works perfectly. However, if it
is called from the PHP script using shell_exec() by the web server user,
I get the following error message:
Access denied for user 'ant'@'damiana-bge0.esi.toolserver.org' (using
password: NO)
Here's part of the C code:
-----
const char *_dbhost = "sql-s1-user";
MYSQL *connection, mysql;
mysql_init(&mysql);
mysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP, "client");
connection = mysql_real_connect(&mysql, _dbhost, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0,
NULL, CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS);
if (!connection) {
cout << mysql_error(&mysql) << endl;
return 1;
}
-----
Thank you very much.
