info@wikipedia.de error
by Kurt Jansson 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

Please, could someone reactivate info(a)wikipedia.de? It should redirect to info-de-l(a)wikipedia.org. This is the error I got: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: info(a)wikipedia.de SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<info(a)wikipedia.de>: host wikipedia.de [130.94.122.197]: 554 <info(a)wikipedia.de>: Relay access denied ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There haven't been any mails on info-de-l from outside since 20 days. I hope not too many mails have gone lost. Maybe someone of you Linux guys should set a cron job and send test mails every week to all our contact addresses. Kurt

DB error on Polish Wikipedia
by Youandme 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

I see that sever was down(?) for some time and when it is back some people on Polish Wikipedia can edit articles and save them but I can't. Here's what I see in my browser (DB error in query and last query which failed): Wystšpił błšd składni w zapytaniu do bazy danych. Ostatnie, nieudane zapytanie to: "INSERT INTO old (old_namespace,old_title,old_text,old_comment,old_user,old_user_text,old_timestamp,ol d_minor_edit,inverse_timestamp) VALUES (1, 'Złoty', 'co oznacza \"AFAIK\" w zdaniu \"AFAIK pierwotnie waluta II Rzeczpospolitej miała się nazywać \"lech\".? :\"As Far As I Know\" [[Wikipedysta:Youandme|Youandme]] 20:19, 7 pa 2003 (CEST)', 'odp. \"AFAIK\"', 2, 'Youandme', '20031007181912', 1, '79968992818087')" wywołane zostało przez funkcję "Article::updateArticle". MySQL zgłosił błšd "1062: Duplicate entry '77587' for key 1". So... what's up, if I may ask? Youandme

Brion wisely observed: > It may be good to have an offsite mailserver > to keep communication channels open > in case of downtime. YES!! We can't "talk" about downtime problems when the mail server is down, so let's by all means keep "mail" and "wikipedia" on separate servers!!!! Ed Poor

Offsite server help
by Brion Vibber 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

JeLuF has kindly offered to let us use his server to host some Wikipedia stuff. For the moment I've set up a very primitive proof-of-concept read-only mirror of the Meta-wikipedia at http://meta.wikipedia.mormo.org/ It's just the cache files copied over and served out by a copy of the script with no database handy, so nothing too fancy. :) It may be good to have an offsite mailserver to keep communication channels open in case of downtime. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

That makes a lot of sense. I'm cc'ing this to wikitech-l.

Security vulnerability in SpecialUpload.php
by Tim Starling 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Here's something I noticed when I was mucking around in SpecialUpload.php today: there's an easily exploitable vulnerability which allows people to delete any file on the hard drive owned by the apache user. All you have to do is submit a hand-edited URL with wpReUpload set to true and wpSavedFile set to the server path you want deleted. As a temporary measure, I've commented out the deletion, on the live server. -- Tim Starling

TeX fixed
by Brion Vibber 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

TeX should be working again on the English Wikipedia. There were two problems: * the code assumed that the rendered PNG files would be available if there was an entry for an equation in the math table, but this assumption is false when two web servers try to access one database. Some equations therefore were rendered only on one server and missing on the other. * the alias for the '/math' directory on pliny's www/en.wikipedia.org was pointing towards the common math directory for the UTF-8 wikis, but it was configured to dump rendered images into the Latin-1 common dir. So, new equations that were rendered weren't being served out unless they were also present on another non-Latin1 wiki. I haven't checked in the code that checks for the image files to CVS just yet, as I've got a couple of separate copies of the code to merge. It's nothing real radical. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Wording on WikimediaFoundation.org

Done - with a minor tweak. http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikimedia_Fundraising_page&dif… Any meta Admin can edit that page and the results are instantly displayed at http://wikimediafoundation.org/fundraising (when it isn't giving a 404 error!). That page has to be protected at all times due to credit card and other security issues (full HTML allowed at the foundation's website). I think I'll work on getting several different language versions up by the end of the week. Damn PayPal, however, is only in English. Any chance of setting up other similar, yet multi-language, services that were suggested before, Jimbo? -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
