Hello, I was looking on how to connect to the osm-db and if there is phpMyAdmin access to it? I browsed thru the toolserver and OSM wikis but did not find much. Thanks in advance, N.

Wikipedia database replication on Google's cluster
by RYU Cheol 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Dear all, I just hit an idea that we could use computing power of google's appengine. AppEngine provides limited free accounts. It provides python runtime environment as well as URL fetch and Bigtable API. I suppose Bots could run on AppEngine with minor ports. And if Google kindly provide database cloning, toolserver could reduce a bunch of overhead. What do you think about this proposal to Google? --Cheol

sql maintenance, Monday 14th
by River Tarnell 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, on Monday 14th, around 2AM UTC, we will do further maintenance on the sql server (zedler) to move the databases back to the original server. based on the amount of data to copy, i expect the downtime to be around 2.5 hours. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkqpMtIACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJmlwCggzc0M3/MuEa3pKT668AyZid3 8hkAoL+5CdBEQjs7Ua6+R3nKsI5BjI02 =PQWi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Where we are now on getting OpenStreetMap into Wikipedia and what we need to do
by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hello there. This is a quick status update on the project to get OpenStreetMap maps into Wikipedia and on the Wikimedia/OpenStreetMap toolserver setup. For those that don't know what it's all about we're: * Setting up a testing platform (ptolemy & ortelius) to serve OSM maps in Wikipedia which can be rolled into production * Setting up a toolserver (cassini) which interested parties can use to write tools that use OSM data. And combine it with Wikimedia data if they want. Here's an (outdated!) wiki page with some more info: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap And here's a recent talk I gave at Wikimania discussing the current status: http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:143 Until now we only had 1/3 machines active & accessible due to various combinations of waiting for hardware, people being busy and it being unclear who actually got access to those machines that I won't go into. That one machine was the nascent WMOSM Toolserver Cassini. I set up a prototype multilingular rendering (since ptolemy and ortelius weren't available at the time) which you can see here: http://cassini.toolserver.org/tile-browse/ What we need to to currently is: * Admins to set up ptolemy / ortelius so that they replicate the DB / mirror tiles * Get interested users/developers to *use* cassini for their tools so we can get neat stuff like the multilingular-country-list (http://cassini.toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/). Sign up here: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Account_request * Cassini also needs some admin love * Work on this buglist (and more bugs) to get OSM into Wikipedia: http://tinyurl.com/nv2sap I did most of this on Cassini (see setup notes: http://tinyurl.com/mbblj3) but I have limited time on it (especially until Christmas) and system administration isn't my strong suit. So unless we get other people to help this project is going to go *slooowly* and you won't have OSM on Wikipedia until 2010. Before WM2009 we had the unfortunate problem of interested parties needing to do the above not getting access due to the issues above. However the machines are up *now* and during WM2009 uncertainties about who could grant access were finally solved (brion will be dictator). So, any potential admins for ptolemy and ortelius will have to: 1. Be qualified & motivated Preferably someone who's worked with the OSM toolchain or is willing to learn. If you're maintaining your own ad-hoc rendering somewhere and are running out of server space you'll probably be motivated to get this working sooner. 2. Reveal their name & address to the Wikimedia foundation That's a requirement Wikimedia requires of all server administrators. 3. Agree to Wikimedia's privacy policy URL: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy ptolemy and ortelius are otherwise distinct servers on the Wikimedia network so this amounts to basically not being silly and running a Quake III server on them, or nmap-ing the Internet. Cassini is more sensitive and harder to gain access to since root admins on Cassini have access to private data about Wikimedia users (e.g. raw database access, login cookies and so on). But in both cases we should be able to give elevated non-Unix-root privileges. All of this pending approval by Wikimedia of course.

sql (user databases) unplanned maintenance
by River Tarnell 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, the user database server (zedler) has run out of space on the MySQL filesystem; however, there is still 250GB free in the InnoDB table space. to reclaim this free space, we need to dump the reload the database. the database will be inaccessible while this is in progress. based on the time taken to run nightly backups, the dump should take about 5 hours. however, i will run it in parallel to improve performance. it will take a bit longer to reload it afterwards. after the reload, i will not restore the commonswiki replica that was previously on the sql server. the correct way to join user databases to commons is to create them on the sql-s4 server. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkqmQNIACgkQIXd7fCuc5vKa/QCfUvvQrs8XaNiztiUTxrS8xA26 0lkAoIpHExWtaamKeKAkXv3YplMnx+zL =Ivmb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have a multi-maintainer account for which I'd like to use rewrite.script. [1] says to put this file at $HOME/rewrite.script however it seems to be having no effect.

Too access the toolserver database, use sql-toolserver
by Daniel Kinzler 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all Since the user database is still importing, we decided to at least get the most important data from zedler back online: the toolserver (meta)database, with toolserver.wiki etc. To access it, use the hostname sql-toolserver. This way, it is no longer bound to the locatiuon of the user databases, and we can point that alias to a workign copy at will. the command line script "sql" was already changed to do use the new ost name. So, to fix your tools, change the database host for the toolserver db to "sql-toolserver". - -- daniel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkqnihEACgkQG0czJgig8U9MtwCdHPbJEP2mCprlxVbbOgOoOb+H NzoAn3AoHkmTau3y287vMYG6s/aqrgGv =lIin -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, i've unmounted /mnt/user-store in order to convert hemlock from ZFS to VxFS. this involves copying off the data, reformatting the disk, then copying the data back; i estimate it will take around 12 hours in total, during which user-store will be unavailable. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAkqk3lkACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJz+ACgodImzIzJrqIavmf8E/SoS1QW BfEAn0yeyexjWw/UTGHVJvDLLZ3u8LkG =eDpb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
