Reminder: Account expiry and migration
by Silke Meyer 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi all! Just a little reminder: Your toolserver accounts will expire on January 6th, 2014. You can renew it with acctrenew as usual. If you had an expired account and you want to come back and collect your data: Your account has been reactivated until that date. You can login to nightshade and use the script "byebye" to collect your stuff. It will create a new directory inside your home directory called FarewellBundle. This directory contains tarballs of almost everything you had on the toolserver. The only thing you have to take care of separately is your stuff in /mnt/user-store. Please download the data you don't need on the toolserver any longer! If you don't need your account any longer you can delete it using the script "burnbridges". It will delete everything but your ~/public_html/.htaccess files in case you have a redirect to Tool Labs. For us, it would be very helpful if you deleted you data yourselves. If you find some time before January 6th, please consider migrating your tools to Tool Labs [1][2], as the toolserver will be discontinued in mid 2014. If you hit barriers that prevent you from migrating, please create bugs in Bugzilla [3]! We can meet in an IRC office hour in January to discuss them. The office hour will be announced separately at the beginning of January.

What will happen with the Toolserver domain?
by Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi all; I'm not sure if this has been discussed anywhere but, what will happen with the Toolserver domain? I'm not sure if ALL servers are going to be removed or a basic Apache is going to run in the domain the next years. Perhaps we can mantain a basic site, with the wiki, and a little museum? Regards, emijrp

SGE and sql-s1-rr
by Tim Landscheidt 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi, most of dbreps's jobs have been waiting for more than a month with: | scheduling info: queue instance "medium-lx(a)mayapple.toolserver.org" dropped because it is temporarily not available | queue instance "longrun2-sol(a)hawthorn.toolserver.org" dropped because it is disabled | queue instance "longrun2-sol(a)clematis.toolserver.org" dropped because it is disabled | queue instance "longrun3-sol(a)willow.toolserver.org" dropped because it is disabled | queue instance "short-sol(a)willow.toolserver.org" dropped because it is full | (-l arch=linux-x64,h_rt=12300,mem_free=2070M,sql-s1-rr=1,sqlprocs-s1=1,virtual_free=2070M) cannot run globally because it offers only gc:sql-s1-rr=0.000000 Does that mean that the resource sql-s1-rr is depleted? Are the database servers really that congested? I see that /sge/scripts/sensor/sqlslots2.pl was changed on October 17th. Could the calculation of the DB slots be wrong, or would changes in that file not affect the resource sql-s1-rr? Tim

JIRA migration to bugzilla
by Merlijn van Deen 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Hello all, Today, I hacked together a JIRA migration tool. If you want your bugs migrated please do the following two things: 1) Under Administration, <your project>, People, add 'Bugzilla Bug Exporter (valhallasw)' to 'Administrators' and click 'Update'. Otherwise, the bot cannot close the bug. 2) File a bug in bugzilla using the following link: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia&component=Bu… 3) Your bugs will be migrated for you! See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/58820 for an example of what the converted bug looks like. Merlijn

22 Dec '13

Hello all, Today, I moved all remaining issues listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Tool_Labs/Needed_Toolserver_f… to bugzilla. I have created the following tracking bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/58791 which lists all the remaining issues. Hopefully this will help in clearing up the remaining issues *before* the toolserver is actually decommissioned. Please add any remaining issues as a bugzilla ticket; the following link sets 'product', 'component' and 'blocks' fields automatically for you: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia%20Labs&compo… Merlijn

by John 19 Dec '13

I am in the process of migrating to labs and the command sql performs differently between the two platforms, Can I get the source for the toolserver version of it so that we can make the labs version work the same.

How to make my my public_html file readable ?
by Antoine D 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello, In order to check my scripts activity I generate my log files in my public_html folder. Unfortunatly I can't read these files (I delete them frequently, so they are recreated). Is there any option to make all the new files in public_html viewable ? Currently I have a "Forbidden" error but I can see the folder content : http://tools.wmflabs.org/herculebot/ Regards Hercule

TS burnbridges : Redirects to Labs
by amette 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello everybuddy, considering your feedback regarding the shutdown procedure, nosy and I improved upon the process a bit. The 'burnbridges' script will not delete any ~/public_html/.htaccess that has any redirect to Labs in it. And even though your account will be expired by calling burnbridges, those redirects will still continue to work. cheers amette
