Web servers unresponsive
by Krinkle 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hi, Since about an hour the web servers appear to be unresponsive: * http://ortelius.toolserver.org/~cvn/index.html * http://wolfsbane.toolserver.org/~cvn/index.html * https://toolserver.org/~cvn/index.html All error out on with no response and a time out. I can still SSH into wolfsbane and ortelius from willow, though. -- Krinkle

Trouble with shell file encoding
by Hercule Hercule 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hello, I have some troubles with a script I run on hu.wikipedia. I have created a script, which name is LienHu.sh and content is #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- #!/usr/bin/python python /home/hercule/template.py "Ideig" "Ideig/Automatikus törlés" -cat:"Lapok láthatatlanná vált ideig sablonnal" -summary:"Bot: {{Ideig}} sablonhívás törlése a cikk létrehozása következtében" -assubst -pt:0 -lang:hu -always python /home/hercule/template.py "Linkiw" "Linkiw/Automatikus törlés" -cat:"Lapok láthatatlanná vált linkiw sablonnal" -summary:"Bot: {{Linkiw}} sablonhívás törlése a cikk létrehozása következtében" -assubst -pt:0 -lang:hu -always python /home/hercule/template.py "Piroslink" "Piroslink/Automatikus lecserélés" -cat:"Lapok felesleges piroslink sablonnal" -summary:"Bot: {{Piroslink}} sablonhívás lecserélése a cikk létrehozása következtében" -assubst -lang:hu -always python /home/hercule/template.py "Piroslink*" "Piroslink*/Automatikus lecserélés" -cat:"Lapok felesleges piroslink sablonnal" -summary:"Bot: {{Piroslink*}} sablonhívás lecserélése a cikk létrehozása következtében" -assubst -lang:hu -always This file is encoded in UTF-8 When I run the command line ./LienHu.sh in my folder I have a correct execution (see http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Szerkeszt%C5%91:Oliv0&diff=123704… ) But when I run it with cronie : 9 8 * * * newtask -p batch /home/hercule/batch/LienHu.sh There are problems with text encoding (see http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Szerkeszt%C5%91:Oliv0&diff=123703… ) I need help to solve this file encoding problem.

I told Nosy to use our backup from the 18 (that's the day the mistake happened and so only few data should be lost). But only she knows that she has done. @Nosy: Can you please respond to Hersfold?

Please move more longrunning-tasks to linux
by DaB. 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Hello all, the linux-servers are now nearly 2 weeks online. While some short- and medium- running SGE-task are running there already, the number of long-running tasks is near zero (see graphs at [1]); in contrast the load on willow is still quite high. It would be nice if more of you could try to move tasks away from the solaris- boxes to the linux-boxes (or better: make the task so independent it runs on both architectures). Please notice that in ~2 months -arch=* will replace -arch=sol as default, so you should slowly begin to look if your tools are running on linux or not (and if not how that can be fixed). A word to the pywikipedia-framework users: At the moment it is unclear if the old python-unicode-bug is fixed or not on our installation (see [2]). Testing (and commenting) is very welcome, but do not run a bot unsupervised. Sincerely, DaB. P.S: If you are still not using SGE, consider it!

tool to explore MediaWiki API
by Sumana Harihareswara 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

DeltaQuad suggested I tell the bots developers on this list about this tool, because he hadn't heard about it. Max Semenik wrote a GUI tool to help newbies explore the MediaWiki API. It's called the API Query Sandbox. You can try it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox Please file bugs and enhancement requests in bugzilla.wikimedia.org (Product: MediaWiki extensions, Component: ApiSandbox). We want to make this better. Thanks! Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

sql.toolserver.org will become deprecated
by DaB. 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hello all, as most of you know, sql.toolserver.org (short: sql) is the place where you should store your user-database if you need no joining with wmf-databases. sql points to adenia at the moment. Adenia is quite busy from time to time and sooner or later it will become overloaded. My plan is to not just buy a bigger box than, but to buy another box and split sql (so some databases will be on the old box and some will be on the new box). The problem is that this is not possible with our current setup, where we have only sql.toolserver.org – we can not configure it as round-robin because in 50% of time you would miss your database. The solution is simple, but it needs a little help from your side. I created new DNS-names in the form of "sql-user-X" where X is a letter ("sql-user-a" for example). The idea is now that you use not longer "sql", but "sql-user-X" where "X" is the first letter of your user-name (so the user "erik" use "sql- user-e" and the user "snowolf" use "sql-user-s"). If you all do this, it will be simple for the roots to move user-databases away from adenia to another server (for example we could move databases from "u_m*" till "u_z*" to the new box and nothing would break). I know that many of you need some time to update your tools. That's the reason I announce that now where you have plenty of time to update your stuff. At the moment sql-user-X points to adenia so nothing will break if you update now. Please send questions to the mailing-list. I will update the wiki-pages soon.

Fwd: [Wiki Loves Monuments] toolsever crashed?
by Maarten Dammers 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi guys, Looks like sql.toolserver.org is unavailable. In Nagios (http://nagios.toolserver.org/) I see that Adenia (aka sql.toolserver.org) ran out of disk space and that mysql became unavailable about 5 1/2 hours ago. Can someone please fix this (or at least update http://status.toolserver.org/)? Maarten -------- Originele bericht -------- Onderwerp: [Wiki Loves Monuments] toolsever crashed?
