MOVING SERVERS TODAY

[nigelb]

All seems to be working ok here, apart from a thread that is conspicuous by its absence.

Not to worry, you did say some things might disappear. Not a problem.


My mistake. The thread is still there. It's just not appearing in todays posts.

Which thread has grabbed your attention GM?

[nigelb]

I don't know what you did Tony but I can't spot any difference. What you did must, therefore, be OK

The thread about immersion heaters disappeared out of todays posts, basically because the clock was set to a time before the post was made.
No problem now, all sorted.

Suspect related to the clock offset. I guess today's posts won't show posts made in the future as they're not 'today' yet, if that makes sense?

Should show now the clock is correct.

Time travel. Love it.

Well done Tony. Excellent job.

Not just common or garden time travel, this time travel is biopowered 

Great job Tony, done to your normal high standard.

Now about that smell check..............

[Julian]

Yeah, you tell him Mark.  I'm going to smell things wong on porpoise, until he fixes it. 

[Julian]

Tony ... can't access backup or stats.

[Tony]

Stats might have to wait. Backups are more important but I'm out for the weekend now - visiting the server's owner as it happens.

Ooo Errr

Getting something a bit strange when I try and upload a file.

The page displays bigger, and I get these two warnings sort of mixed in with the page at the top

========================================================
Warning: fopen(/var/www/biopowered/w/images/lockdir/801z4p9itqpm9xcv8mancfdnccsoxjn.lock) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/biopowered/w/includes/filebackend/lockmanager/FSLockManager.php on line 123

========================================================

And then these warnings in the usual place when a file fails to load ...

========================================================
Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/17".
Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/17/Prep_tib_lid.JPG".
========================================================

help!

[Tony]

Thanks Julian, hopefully now fixed.

- image directory permissions weren't using sticky group ownership (needed to stay www-data)
- apache2 default umask was 022, rather than 002 (made files non-writable by group owner www-data)
- imagemagick wasn't installed (used to create all the different image resolutions the wiki uses)

You dont know how greatfuyl everyone is that you understand all this!

[nigelb]

You don't know how greatful everyone is that you understand all this!

Never a truer statement made.

[Tony]

I find it a little worrying that I'm the only one here that seems to, to be honest.  We need another technical administrator really, in case of accidents involving busses.

I agree.
Putting a page togeather is a challange for me.

I've never put a page together. I supplied the text and pictures and somebody else did the page. I think Julian has done the stuff I submitted

Trouble uploading photos again I'm afraid.  I get this warning ...

Could not create directory ‘mwstore://local-backend/local-public/8/85’.

Quite prepared to accept it's me being a pillock, but I've tried several times and get the same message.

Photos have been down sized to 800 x 600 px and 72 dpi, and just over 100Kb, so I don't think it can be file size.
