Maintenance of wolfsbane and thyme
by Marlen Caemmerer 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello, the service processors of wolfsbane and thyme need to be updated. They will be shutdown before the update. This means enwiki-rr and a webserver and the user-store and osm-tiles will not be available for 15-30 minutes. I will do this work starting at Sun 11th November 20pm UTC until Sun 21pm UTC Kind regards Marlen/nosy

by DaB. 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello all, after Wikidata last week, the second new wiki-family arrived on the toolserver today: Wikivoyage; and in 7 differed flavors (see [1] for details)! I hope you all create many new tools for them – let us help to be Off to See the World. Sincerely, DaB.

rosemary's copy of enwiki_p also corrupt?
by MZMcBride 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi. There's an outstanding ticket (<https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1414>) about thyme's copy of enwiki_p being corrupt. Now I'm noticing apparent corruption with rosemary's copy of enwiki_p. Example below: --- mzmcbride@willow:~$ mysql -hrosemary enwiki_p; mysql> select * from user where user_name = 'GoodPotato'\G Empty set (0.01 sec) --- An empty set is the wrong result. Compare: --- mzmcbride@willow:~$ mysql -hthyme enwiki_p; mysql> select * from user where user_name = 'GoodPotato'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** user_id: 17766406 user_name: GoodPotato user_registration: 20121026010740 user_editcount: 2 user_email_authenticated: 0 1 row in set (0.00 sec) --- This indicates that in addition to thyme's copy of enwiki_p being corrupt, rosemary's copy of enwiki_p is now also corrupt, leaving us with no complete copy of enwiki. Can someone please let me know what needs to happen in order for us to get a working copy of enwiki back in production? If there's a hold-up somewhere (particularly with the Wikimedia Foundation), please let me know what that hold-up is and I'll do what I can to move things forward. MZMcBride

Welcome: wikidata
by DaB. 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

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.

postgresql will vanish from tomcat
by DaB. 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

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.

Current progress
by DaB. 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

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.

/sge62 is gone
by DaB. 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

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.

dump of attribution information
by Luca Libonati 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

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. Luca

Database connection problem
by ant 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

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. ant [1] https://github.com/antofosm/wp-revision-network
