Browne doesn't want to talk to the srv* boxen anymore, which was rather
bad as it was holding a bunch of memcached space.
Domas has moved its memcached instances to isidore, and things seem to
be working ok for now.
I tried resetting the interfaces real quick (ifup/ifdown on eth0 and
eth1) but to no avail. Browne is known to be a bit flakey I think, so
perhaps someone should poke at it some more or Chad can dismantle it...
Separately, I noticed the new srv* boxen didn't have the tidy PECL
extension installed, so they were calling tidy via the external
executable which is slower. I went ahead and installed it. For reference
the procedure is to install the libtidy-devel package (rpm for fc3 is in
/home/wikipedia/src conveniently) and then 'pear install tidy-1.1x.tgz'
where tidy-1.1x.tgz is my patched copy of the tidy extension package.
The PEAR installer will configure, compile, and install. I left a copy
in my home directory... this should probably get added to the more or
less automated server setup script.
