| − | The site was affected by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed Heartbleed vulnerability] until 1045GMT today. The fix has caused an access issue with the server security module which in being worked on. Expect the odd server re-boot until further notice. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 11:02, 24 April 2014 (IST)

| − | ==Site outage for at least 8 hours on Saturday morning 22 Feb 14== | + | ===9 January=== |
| − | This is reported to me by the hosting company as having been a 'domain registrar status issue' - which makes me uneasy. I've asked for further info. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 12:21, 22 February 2014 (GMT)
| + | DB rebuild complete --[[User:Peter|Peter]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 06:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC) |
| − | :'''Further info''': from Host support ''"... essentially it's a glitch in the control panel that crops up form time to time where a security feature in the control panel kicks in in error and disables a domain. There's nothing you could have done about it on your end. Apologies for the inconvenience"''.

| − | ==Upgrading SMW and Semantic Forms== | + | ===7 January=== |
| − | Upgrading semantic software withe the php cache and Scribunto disabled. This will also require a data rebuid. Site will remain operational but usual cautions apply - should be back to normal by 12:00 today. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 08:27, 12 February 2014 (GMT)
| + | The database will be locked for brief periods. The upgrades require a full database rebuild and the html cache will have to repopulate. The DB rebuild will take 2-3 days and completion will be advised here. Editing and page creation will be OK during this process but is likely to be much slower. --[[User:Peter|Peter]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 11:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC) |

| − | ==Scribunto/SMW issue== | + | ==July 2019== |
| − | Recent refresh of SMW data threw up lots of errors (@150 out of 9,000 items refreshed). The error was generated by a Scribunto Lua-Engine script called by the SMW refresh script in the course of its looping execution. I intend to switch off Scribunto and run the SMW refresh again to help understand what is happening here. Site notice should be up for maybe 2 hours or so from this message --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 07:26, 9 February 2014 (GMT)
| + | A major update of the code software ([[MediaWiki]]), to v. 1.32.2<ref>[[Special:Version]]</ref> and v.3.0.2 of [[Semantic MediaWiki]]. |

| − | '''Move complete and most issues resolved''' You should notice major server response improvements. There's still some server tweeking to do, notably to Apache mod_security and php cache tuning. These will require occasional Apache restarts so best to keep copying edit box contents to clipboards before saving. But I'm taking a bit of a break from intense techie-tweeking for a few days --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 08:34, 18 January 2014 (GMT)

| − | :All data refreshed. There is minor issue arising from my having left the $wgServer directive set to the new server IP address (rather then the hostname for DNS reasons while testing) for an hour or so after going live with it. It has caused 9 'record ID's' out of about 11,000 to have 'invalid server index entries'. I don't know for sure which actual pages that involves right now but it will be those edited very soon after going live - and could be the cause of the Image problems on the pages Patrick edited. Also this page since I was quick to post a progress report on it. It's not serious and will be resolved over the next few days. Meantime please report any other issues. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 09:12, 17 January 2014 (GMT)

| − | ::Panic over pages disappearing from the Main Page boxes resolved. After running SMW_refreshDate twice to confirm the index ID's of problem pages, I ran it once more on just the SMW Type and Property pages (Completes very quickly). It seems that breaks their links to containing pages so as the jobs queue progress the pages disappeared from the Main Page boxes. It is necessary to run SMW_refreshData on both Types/properties AND regular pages even though doing types and properties first negates the need for two complete passes. BIG learning curve this :-)) --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 13:12, 17 January 2014 (GMT)
