As I will not make it on time for the meeting, maybe not at all - a quick update on the forums migration: Last week we finally managed to get a database export. Part of the delay was really my fault, not enough space on the upload filesystem (although a compressed export would have easily fitted ...). I have also agreed with Jared that he will make a new export whenever needed, so we can have the most current data for the finished migration. I have the newest vBulletin software, it is installed on http://forum.infra.o.o. The database is loaded on the galera cluster (thanks for your help Lars). I used innodb for all tables, I saw no complaints. So far for the good news, now the less good: - I am not yet able to actually run the vBulletin code - currently I get an HTTP 500, which I'm still trying to figure out. - charset. vBulletin recommends is UTF8mb4, but our database is in Latin1. I think(!) this should be simple to convert with ALTER. - stylesheets etc. Apparently this version of vBulletin uses a new setup, not compatible with the current one. I'd like some help here. I'm wondering if some of the current forum admins might want to lend a hand? - authentication. The 'vb_user' table holds 40501 rows. The current system is tied in to the SSO setup in Provo, I don't know how or if this table is used. - according to Marta, the contract with Provo expired on Feb29. MF-IT have agreed to keep running the forums for another week. In summary - if I can solve the HTTP 500 and the database conversion/upgrade works "just like that", the only issue is really authentication. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
