-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As a follow up for the crash:
Since the database for the forum was seriously broken (short extract from the irc logs: http://wesnoth.debian.net/%23wesnoth-dev-2008-08-08.log 08:39 <cycholka> eh, going back in time in the end, I'm not able to save forums db in a satisfying way 08:45 <Sirp_> cycholka, we don't have to go back more than a few months though right? I think that is okay... 08:45 <cycholka> It's still a shame 08:46 <cycholka> we've got a full undamaged dump from the end of may 08:46 <cycholka> so it's not terrible, but still some work got lost 08:46 * Sirp_ nods 08:46 <Sirp_> still, the sooner we get back up the sooner we can continue working. :) 08:47 <Sirp_> so if going back in time lets us get back up more quickly and easily..... 08:47 <cycholka> ATM roughly 2000 posts, 250 topics, 1500 PMs, 500 user accounts and all attachment bindings are beyond recovery 08:47 <cycholka> that's why there's no option but to fall back So we are back to a two month old database backup for the forum. That is everything that happened in the forums in the course of the last two months is lost. The wiki though should be fine and we hope that nothing there is lost. [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: | Additionally, I'm not sure that wesnothd has any remaining memory | leaks, at least serious ones. This could also be explained simply by | high legitimate memory use, especially since the server only has 1GB | of RAM. I think the best answer, which we've known for a while, is to | get a server that has more RAM (2-3GB). And on this server we are now. So lets see how it behaves. Beside this we do create daily backups of the website and databases on a separate HD. I will probably setup a cronjob on my machine at home to download a backup of the database once a week or something like that. This is not 100% sure so far. Regarding the setup of the new server, here are some system specs: Hosted at olm.net OS: Debian 4.0 CPU: Core2Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz RAM: 3GB + 2GB swap Main HD: 250GB Backup HD: 160GB Network interface: 100MBit Bandwidth Limit: 2500GB/month At the moment all of the website (including forum and wiki) is on this machine. Beside this the main multiplayer server is hosted there. When the machine has shown to be stable and able to handle the load, we will also move campaigns.wesnoth.org there. Beside this, once we have the results of the SoC project by radx, we will be hosting stats.wesnoth.org on this machine. Currently we do also plan to extend what we officially offer at wesnoth.org. That is Dave currently plans to start blogs.wesnoth.org which will be located on this machine, too. And we hope to get the graphics archive Jetryl is working on over to this machine. Eventually we should also have a way to have "registered" accounts for the multiplayer server that will just use the accounts that are also used for the forums. Some code for this was already committed to svn but I don't know the current status of this project. Dave already asked about mail support so that each dev can get a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address. This should be possible soon, too. If you have other (sane ;) ) ideas what we could/should offer, feel free to post.
