Central Auth

I am trying to connect to centralauth_p via python script. I can successfully connect to enwiki_p via python script while using the host as enwiki.labsdb but when I use same hostname to connect to centralauth_p database it fails to establish the connection. I have a feeling I might be using the wrong hostname. Any chance you would be able to help out on this.

Thanks, Auduwage (talk)

Pywikibot Installation in ToolLabs

I used to use pywikibot with toolserver but I am not sure if we are allowed to use pywikibot or install it in toollabs if so, could youy please provide a link. I search and wasn't able to find anything.

Thanks

I am probably the wrong person to ask, I don't have any root access in Labs, or know about pywikibot for that matter. I am quite certain you can use it on Labs though. As for centralauth_p, it seems you can do "sql centralauth_p" as a user, but not as the tool user. Probably different permissions. --Magnus Manske (talk) 08:39, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

CatScan2 down

I'm currently getting

Internal error
The URI you have requested, http://tools.wmflabs.org/catscan2/, appears to be non-functional at this time.

Any idea what the problem is? HYanWong (talk) 12:57, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Server has a bad day, checking. --Magnus Manske (talk) 12:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

CatScan down again

Hi, for any catscan-try I get:

Internal error

The URI you have requested, http://tools.wmflabs.org/catscan2/catscan2.php?language=commons&project=wikimedia&depth=1&categories=Media+uploaded+without+a+license&ns%5B6%5D=1&templates_no=no+license%0D%0AOTRSPending%0D%0AOTRS+pending%0D%0Ano+permission+since%0D%0Ano+source+since%0D%0AOTRS+received&sortby=uploaddate&ext_image_data=1, appears to be non-functional at this time.

If you have reached this page from somewhere else...

This URI is part of the catscan2 tool, maintained by Magnus Manske.

Perhaps its magical script elves are temporarily ill, or the link you've followed doesn't actually lead somewhere useful?

If you're pretty sure this shouldn't be an error, you may wish to notify the tool's maintainers (above) about the error and how you ended up here.

If you maintain this tool

The error might be caused by incorrect permission, or by an error in the script or CGI that was meant to execute here. You may wish to check your logs or common causes for errors in the help documentation.

Is this anything you can fix, or is the something wrong generally on labs? regards --JuTa (talk) 19:25, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

url2commons gives me "Internal Error"

When I try to use url2commons without my credentials, I get a fairly comprehensible error message related to that. If I supply credentials, however, it just gives me an "Internal error" and advises me that "Perhaps its magical script elves are temporarily ill". Can you take a look at the logs? —SamB (talk) 02:10, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Horrible mess, complete rewrite, here. Have fun! --Magnus Manske (talk) 17:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Commonshelper truncates if file name contains apostrophe

E.g. If file name on EN Wikipedia = abc'def.jpg, and the file has been tagged by Fbot as a candidate to be copied to Commons, the link generated on the file by Fbot = https://tools.wmflabs.org/disclaim/?https://tools.wmflabs.org/commonshelper/?interface=en&image=abc'def.jpg&lang=en . Commonshelper truncates this to abc and says file not found. Fbot has already tagged several hundred thousand files, so I think either Commonshelper needs to be changed or Fbot needs to be changed and a bot needs to process all the files it's already tagged to escape apostrophes.
