Chris, that's a good point: it does LOOK as if running free software is some sort of disadvantage. Please suggest an alternative phrasing which * explains succintly why all our software is "free", and * explains why this is an advantage Feel free to take more than 16 words to do this. ^_^ Ed Poor

403 error on German, French & ... Wikipedia / PHP errors on English
by Thomas Luft 06 Oct '03

Hi, it seems that something with the server is broken. When invoking http://de.wikipedia.org/ I get a 403 error from Apache, the same with fr.wikipedia.org. Opening the English Wikipedia results in a lot of PHP errors: *>Warning*: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_fda39b1e85f8972aa71fb8cf2377dd05, O_RDWR) >failed: Input/output error (5) in */usr/local/apache/common/php/wiki.phtml* on line *7* > *>Warning*: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started >at /usr/local/apache/common/php/wiki.phtml:7) in */usr/local/apache/common/php/wiki.phtml* >on line *7* > *>Warning*: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output >started at /usr/local/apache/common/php/wiki.phtml:7) in *>/usr/local/apache/common/php/wiki.phtml* on line *7* > *>Fatal error*: input in flex scanner failed in */usr/local/apache/common/php/FulltextStoplist.php* >on line *1* > *>Warning*: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_fda39b1e85f8972aa71fb8cf2377dd05, O_RDWR) >failed: Input/output error (5) in *Unknown* on line *0* > *>Warning*: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of >session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in *Unknown* on line *0 Maybe this has something to do with a German radio report about Wikipedia? Or are these just the "normal" server problems? Regards Thomas *

Get it working first

LittleDan suggested: >Now that the server upgrades are complete and >wikimedia.org is up, should we send out Wikimedia's >first press release? As an software professional I recommend postponing the press release until: * the 'upgrade' has been fully tested * the developers and users are equally impressed with its speed and reliability Often new hardware or software works great for a few days before the first glitch appears. Microsoft is famous (notorious?) for the "Service Pack 3" phenomenon: they've gotten the reputation that no new software version is considered reliable until the 3rd "service pack" (i.e., set of bug fixes) is delivered to customers. Now our tiny gang of volunteer developers may be more dedicated and selfless than Microsoft's salaried horde -- but "rush to market" tends to cause errors. So, I think we should wait a bit.

Given our current hardware difficulties, I think it was a great idea to add a prominent donation notice to each page. But clicking on the "Projects" link on the Wikimedia Foundation donations page takes me to the English Wikipedia. We have more projects than that, no? :) http://wikimedia.org/ -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)

Is it worth getting uploads working on pliny?
by Tim Starling 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Does anyone know how long it will be before larousse comes back online? Is it worth getting file uploads working on pliny? Is it just a matter of re-enabling them in PHP, and then resynchronising the files after larousse comes back on? -- Tim Starling
