Please, could someone reactivate info(a)wikipedia.de? It should redirect
to info-de-l(a)wikipedia.org. This is the error I got:

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.

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:

So... what's up, if I may ask?

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!!!!

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.

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

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.

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?
