account question
by Laszlo Kozma 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Dear Toolserver mailing list readers, Please someone let me know how to request the reactivation of the toolserver account if it is possible. I used to have the account "lkozma" that ran some supporting scripts for wikipediavision which is streamed live on the wikimedia.de site. As I was traveling I did not notice any mails about account expiration and the renewal process, so I don't know how to proceed now. I'm very sorry to spam the mailing list with this request, I have entered a JIRA issue and wrote to several toolserver people, but haven't received any response. Thank you for the help, best, Laszlo On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 5:21 PM, Thomas Ineichen <toolserver.mailinglist(a)t-i.ch> wrote: > Hi, > > As this is my first posting on this list, I'd like to introduce > myself: > > My name is Thomas, I'm 28 and I live in Zurich, Switzerland.

[Bots] [enwp] Softblocking of toolserver-IPs in near future
by DaB. 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hello all, I was notified in IRC today, that the english wikipedia (enwp for short) is going to change their toolserver-ip-blocking-policy. Some bots were editing without login (I guess most time accidentally) in the past and enwp-admins have had trouble with that; anonymous bot-editing is and were against our toolserver-rules too. So they plan to softblock (that means: editing without login is not possible) our IPs in 2 weeks from now. So if you run a bot, please make sure that you login to edit and test your bot that it works with a softblocked ip. You may also test other tools, that edit the english wikipedia. Please notice also, that it is not allowed to run a bot on the web-servers. The discussion of the policy-changing can be found at [1]. Sincerly, DaB.

Hello, There was a project for integration of OpenStreetMap material in Wikimedia projects at <http://cassini.toolserver.org/tile-browse/>. Cassini seems to be down now. Is the OSM project abandoned or has it moved to another place? Thanks Marcus Buck User:Slomox

FreeBSD test server
by River Tarnell 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, We are (again) evaluating FreeBSD as a login server environment. There is now a test server, zedler.toolserver.org, which you could test your tools on if you like. (If you need configuration changes or software installed, ask me on IRC; don't use JIRA for this, since it's not official.) At this time there are no plans to change the OS(es) on the login servers, we're only evaluating options. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkwX7KwACgkQIXd7fCuc5vKm+QCgmrkRLT9zB1flee0It7wssLB2 +isAnjCweK6ndPtVgdFqB1ojybtdogU8 =tDiu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Restart of MySQL servers, Tuesday morning UTC
by River Tarnell 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, On Tuesday morning UTC we will restart all MySQL servers which contain replicated database to change a configuration setting. This will cause around 15 minutes downtime per server. We will not restart the fast and non-fast server for the same cluster at the same time, so all replicated database will continue to be available during the maintenance. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkwWUlIACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJx1ACgtvLGKACz4pslEFOdq1bzKoEm lIAAoKDo4UEXpJCY4dzQugegisnLaVvw =JHU0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hello and setpass
by Thomas Ineichen 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hi, As this is my first posting on this list, I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Thomas, I'm 28 and I live in Zurich, Switzerland. I've come to Toolserver via OpenStreetMap, as my aim is to create a map for cyclists. In the beginning I want to focus on the different access- rights (and thus also produce access-maps for other means of transport eg. cars, motorcycles, lorries). Later on, I'll maybe add some POIs and routes. Sneak-Preview: http://access.t-i.ch/ Even tough I've studied Business Informatics, I'm relatively new to Unix; I run a Mapnik-server but my main OS is Windows 7. So I hope you're not bored when I ask my may-be-newbie-questions. :) Like this one: In the welcome-mail it says, I should set my LDAP password[1]. But when I try to run 'setpass' on willow, it (he?) responds with: `setpass: priv set: Not owner´ So, what to do? (Maybe there is a connection to the broken mkuser[2]?) Regards, Thomas [1] https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/LDAP [2] https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/ACCAPP-190?focusedCommentId=15216&page=c…

New account renewal system
by River Tarnell 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, We are changing how account renewals work from now on. Instead of sending mail to have your account renewed manually, all users will be able to renew their own account by running "acctrenew" on a Solaris login server (e.g. willow). You will receive email notifications 28 days, 7 days and 1 day before your account expires. This mail will tell you how to renew your account (i.e., run acctrenew). There will be no notifications via the mailing list, so you need to make sure your Toolserver email address is up-to-date. You cannot run acctrenew until 28 days before your account expiry. It will extend your account for six months from the day you run it (not six months from your current expiry). This system should be easier for everyone, since users can renew their accounts immediately, and admins don't have to do anything. If you allow your account to expire, you will not be able to renew it yourself. That still requires sending mail to ts-admins@. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkwH/ZIACgkQIXd7fCuc5vIKUgCgj6ei2kyZ3CGyoDNMPdI7s32I LSsAn1/l2DUI3c1YXse1UZbdRysFYFI+ =IY3X -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

User account expired?

03 Jun '10

http://toolserver.org/~devunt/ http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild It return 404: User account expired The page you requested is hosted by the Toolserver user devunt, whose account has expired. Toolserver user accounts are automatically expired if the user is inactive for over six months. To prevent stale pages remaining accessible, we automatically block requests to expired content. If you think you are receiving this page in error, or you have a question, please contact the owner of this document: devunt [at] toolserver [dot] org. (Please do not contact Toolserver administrators about this problem, as we cannot fix it—only the Toolserver account owner may renew their account.) How can I fix that?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I know Markdown is installed somewhere, since I have a copy of River's script that uses it - but I've tried `use Text::Markdown qw(markdown)` in a script, and got Can't locate Text/Markdown.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) Should I be including Markdown some other way?

A reminder to users of CGI::Carp
by River Tarnell 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, If you use CGI::Carp with fatalsToBrowser in your Perl CGI tools, please remember that by default, the error message will instruct users to contact ts-admins if your tool breaks. You need to change the error, like this: use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message); set_message("Please mail jsmith(a)toolserver.org about this problem."); Otherwise, ts-admins receives complaints about broken tools which we don't care about and cannot fix. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkwEjAMACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJvCwCeIPxJZQ/0NclPpbOtOgxDfo7T up8An2+M+O0X84yz5Xa68G8pX5SW2QSn =X3et -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
