Description Hari Prasad Nadig 2011-02-01 17:59:43 UTC

Greetings,

Wikimedia India chapter needs help in moving Wikimedia.in to Wikimedia servers. 

User data needs to be retained. Edit history needs to be retained as well.

Thank you,

If possible, the accounts needs to merged with SUL since most users used the same userid there.

Comment 2 Tinu Cherian 2011-02-19 04:38:51 UTC

Any updates on this request ?

Comment 3 Casey Brown 2011-02-19 21:57:11 UTC

I'm not sure who would be best to help with this, so I'm CCing Jens, Ashar, and Mark.  Hopefully one of them will be able to help.

Comment 4 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-20 18:56:53 UTC

Ashar or Jens will be able to do it.  My role will be to annoy them until they do ;)

Comment 5 Hari Prasad Nadig 2011-02-28 09:55:21 UTC

Mark, probably I should join in with you as well in annoying them until the transfer is done. :-)


We really need this transfer done asap.

Comment 6 p858snake 2011-02-28 10:12:31 UTC

THere might be user privacy concerns with importing user data... Could probably create a new wiki then import the page data and edit history.

Comment 7 Tinu Cherian 2011-02-28 10:21:24 UTC

Will the page data and edit history will be lost, by any chance, during the transfer ?

Comment 8 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-03-15 07:42:06 UTC

My main issue is creating the wiki on the cluster since I crashed it a few weeks ago while attempting to create the Esperanto Wikisource.
Since I learn from mistakes, I will try to create it this week. Once the wiki is created we will have to makes sure Apache mod_rewrite supports wikimedia.in domain.

As for the actions:
- lower the TTL on wikimedia.in DNS zone
- generate a dump for the current site
- try to import the dump on WMF cluster
- change the DNS :)

Comment 9 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-03-15 07:43:08 UTC

Note I am not sure dumpBackup.php do save the User table.

Comment 10 Tinu Cherian 2011-04-01 04:48:05 UTC

Any progress on this ?

Comment 11 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-04-03 08:20:55 UTC

I have made no progress beside writing the action plan :-/

Comment 12 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-04-14 17:59:14 UTC

Are the Wikimedia.in folks still looking to do this, or have they come up with another solution?

Ashar, if they still plan on moving to our cluster, who should do the move?  Or do you have time to do it now?

Comment 13 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-04-15 19:11:15 UTC

We had a mail exchange with CT Woo, it seems the wiki will be moved to the CH chapter server.  Not sure what to do with this bug now :(

Comment 14 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-04-15 19:26:57 UTC

seems like we WONTFIX it then :)
