Please don't publicize this URL to everyone, both because it will go away and because the old server is still sharing the database with it and I don't want it swamped, but:
Is running on the new server, talking to the database on pliny. It would be nice if a few of you went there and did some testing to make sure I didn't screw up anything major.
This is NOT a test database--it is talking to the real live Wikipedia database, so don't "test" any pages you don't want changed for real.

Are we going to keep the evil secret subdirectory as /w/ for all wikis, as before? There are an awful lot of URLs to old versions, contribs links, etc that are written that way, and I'd hate to break them.

What, specifically, uses the "/w" URLs? I couldn't see that the old system output them anywhwere. I have the new server laid out more sensibly, with international ones in mind. All should use the /wiki URL form in all cases.

* editing pages * history * printable * old revisions * diffs * contribs * login * delete * undelete * watch * unwatch * changing number of displayed items / start point in many lists * search
I'm sure I left some out.

Then we can't filter them out from crawlers in robots.txt.

- editing pages
- history
...
Yes, of course; I'd forgotten that we weren't redirecting those. I put "/w/" back as an alias, so the old URLs still work. I'd like to keep the new directory structure, though. Yes, robots might have to be modified.
Well, something isn't right. When I make edits to [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] from larousse, the new revisions do get made, but they aren't making it into the recentchanges table.

Aha!
Larousse's time zone setting is on Pacific time, so it's inserting all the wrong timestamps on everything. Ack...

Okay, back to sweet sweet UTC. Looks okay now...
It also looks like NTP is working on larousse now:
# /usr/sbin/ntptrace localhost.localdomain: stratum 3, offset 0.000028, synch distance 0.08755 zorac.sf-bay.org: stratum 2, offset 0.000571, synch distance 0.04897 clepsydra.dec.com: stratum 1, offset 0.001606, synch distance 0.00159, refid 'GPS'

Cool. Now that I think about it, you're right that my current Apache directory structure on larousse won't work: it share DocumentRoot among different wikis, so won't let you do separate robots.txt, favicon, etc. I'll tweal it a bit.
I suppose it's to be expected, per your statements the other day, that some images are broken?
Otherwise, it's sweet... *smoking* fast, but I guess almost no one is on it. :-)

Oh, yeah; I disabled uploads, but I haven't copied the actual image directories over. So /all/ images ought to be broken (except for the logo).

Yeah, that helps a lot.
