yarrow (s1/3/4/6) restart
by River Tarnell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, yarrow, the database server for s1, s3, s4 and s6, has started to use too much memory and is swapping, which results in unacceptable performance. As a temporary workaround we will reduce the InnoDB buffer pool size and restart the server. The server will be offline for about 20 minutes while it restarts. - river.

s1 reimport
by River Tarnell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, I am currently importing s1 into one of the new database servers to replace the damaged copy on rosemary. After the import is down, I will switch the s1 server, then put it in read-only mode to copy user databases. Downtime will be about half an hour to switch servers, and possibly a couple of hours for user database imports. After this is complete, we will start looking at providing redundant (failover) databases for each cluster, starting with s1. Hopefully that should happen within the next couple of weeks. - river.

Issue with Toolserver email forwarding (username@toolserver.org)
by River Tarnell 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hi, There is currently an open issue that is preventing updates to the Toolserver email configuration from propagating to the mail server. This means that email forwarding for newly created accounts is not working, and changes to your Toolserver email address (using setmail) will not take effect. The issue is somewhat complicated and I will be away most of this week, so this won't be fixed until next week at the earliest. Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue is being tracked in JIRA as MNT-65. - river.

Hi, PHP was upgrade to 5.3.1. At the same time, the PHP PDO MySQL module was enabled. This should have no impact on users (unless you want to use PDO). - river.

Setting default character set on Zeus?
by Marcin Cieslak 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hello, Sometimes I just put some plain text files in my public_html, mainly some extracts from database (example [1]). Those files are served with Content-Type: text/plain and I'd like to see them: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 The manual[2] says about "AddType"/"ForceType" options for the .htaccess file but there is nothing like Apache's "AddCharset" directive[3]. Is there anyway I can add character set information using .htaccess or possibly enabling this globally could be an option?

libjpeg was upgraded
by River Tarnell 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hi, You can ignore this message unless you have C or C++ programs or libraries linked directly against 'libjpeg', the IJG JPEG library. (The vast majority of users will not have any such programs.) libjpeg on the Solaris systems (willow and wolfsbane) has been upgraded from version 6b to version 7. This means the old libjpeg.so.62 no longer exists; it is replaced with the incompatible libjpeg.so.7. You will need to recompile and relink your programs to use the new libjpeg. This doesn't affect programs that use libjpeg indirectly, e.g. via the ImageMagick C/C++ interfaces, since all TS-provided software depending on libjpeg has already been relinked. - river.
