l10n.gnome.org still down

[Claude Paroz-2]

Hi,

You may know that progress (l10n.gnome.org) is down from Friday. I'm a
little sad to see that such a capital application for translators can be
down for several days.
What's the status of this issue? What can I do? Please, give us
information...

I don't want to accuse anyone, I know most of the community work as
volunteer, but I wonder if we can do something so as such a situation
don't arise again in the future.

Should we move this application on another infrastructure, more
accessible to sysadmins?
Should we have more formal procedures for server upgrades?

Any idea welcome.

Cheers,

Claude

James Troup, one of the Canonical sysadmins was around on #sysadmin and
rebooted the box after turning off nss-ldap.

I was able to log in. When I turned on nss-ldap again, things were OK
for a while, but then slapd started running at 200% and no NSS lookups
were succeeding making the box unresponsive in many ways.

Stracing the slapd process showed it doing no IO but just sitting there
churning - I don't know if we have some rogue client doing really
expensive LDAP queries or if it's a slapd bug.

I:

 - Turned off nss-ldap again and left it off
 - Added entries for Claude to /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow,/etc/group
 - Put an entry for gnomeweb in /etc/group with Claude as the only
   member.

So that Claude could work on damned-lies. Someone else will have to
investigate the slapd situation further.
