[OpenGuides-Dev] OG performance
by Paul Makepeace 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hi, I don't follow OG development but as host operator a few things are coming up. The machine's load is gradually climbing over time and some of that is OG. Despite a relatively low hit rate on OG it is consuming quite a bit of resource. If OG started taking off it would take the machine down. First up: index.cgi requires 0.35s to perform a `perl -c` syntax check. Any thoughts on putting OG on a mod_perl server? I have mod_perl running here of course and we'd need to coordinate some apache.conf stuff. Second: the supersearch.cgi gulps down CPU, often for seconds at a time. It is a frequent resident of `top` output. This isn't really acceptable. I'm going to request this feature be turned off unless an effective optimisation plan or some other way to reduce its impact here is constructed pretty soon. Sorry about this but it's encroaching on others. Third: I wonder if there's some way to instruct robots not to spider parts of your wiki. This ought to speak for itself: $ grep crawl /var/log/apache/london.openguides.org-access.log | grep 'action=edit' | wc -l 8242 $ Finally: I posted about a DoS and was wondering what the status of a solution was. http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2004-October/000542.html Cheers, Paul (any overbearing tone unintentional ;-) -- Paul Makepeace .............................. http://paulm.com/inchoate/ "If my elbow was straight, then I'll show oyu mine!" -- http://paulm.com/toys/surrealism/

[OpenGuides-Dev] Release, bugs, and Search::InvertedIndex support?
by Dominic Hargreaves 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

A handful of changes have queued up so I thought I would make a release of OpenGuides this weekend. Should anything go into the current snapshot[1] for 0.48? The following bugs will remain open after 0.48, unless someone fixes them soon (from https://rt.cpan.org/): Important: #13148 Error with links containing underscores Normal: #8208 International characters in new pages #8814 Undeletable garbage nodes on london.openguides.org #8852 node.tt doesn't look for osie_x #9390 Bug handling <pre> #6386 Search Engine has an issue with international characters #6398 International Characters in RSS feed. Unimportant: #9746 Recent Changes table layout Wishlist: #8203 More helpful Create a page in this category link #11799 Summary field #9555 Edit page category/locale selection #9313 mod_perl support #9315 Merge london.og.org templates #9340 Basic auth integration #9380 Custom metadata fields #12972 Category/locale links in metadata behave differently to normal links #4077 Review date field If anyone would like to tackle any of these bugs (especially the one tagged as Important) in the next couple of days, please let me know your plans so I can wait for any fixes that you make. Equally if you have further information on any of the bugs or think that any should be closed, let me know or comment in RT. Lastly, I would like to solicit comments on dropping support for Search::InvertedIndex soon. My personal need for it no longer exists, so I am tempted to drop it for 0.49 or thereabouts, but if people want otherwise and can help with its continued support, then I am happy for that too. So, if you currently use S::II, let me know your views.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Limiting the number of categories and locales that can be entered
by Rev Simon Rumble 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

London has just had someone enter a zillion categories: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Garden_Centre_At_Oriental_City%2C… I think we need a way to limit this, otherwise you end up with a zillion stubs floating around.

What happened here? http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Plough_Inn_(Northfields)&version=3 If I go to edit that page, the Categories and Locales _are_ on seperate lines. What gives?

[OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides 0.48 released
by Dominic Hargreaves 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

(apologies from the previous mail which was mangled) OpenGuides 0.48 has been released, with a large number of minor updates. It is available from your favourite CPAN mirror, or http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/computing/code/openguides/OpenGuides-0.48.tar… or, indeed, http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/debian/openguides/. md5sum: c3037b31479c37a1e8f838925938b1af OpenGuides-0.48.tar.gz (files in this distribution are also signed with cpansign; run "cpansign -v" to verify.) Changelog: RDF enhancements: Removed redundant "id" parameter specification from dc:source in rdf:Description in RDF node listings. Fixed bug that was causing all nodes to be flagged as a geo:SpatialThing whether they were or not. Ensured that ampersands and greater/less than symbols were properly escaped so as not to be XML-toxic. Added geo:lat, geo:long and RSS link attributes to items in category/locale listings to facilitate integration with mapping applications. Added owl:sameAs property to RDF output for nodes that are redirects to other nodes. RSS feed now has correct timestamp (matching most recent item) and matching Last-Modified HTTP header. Reorder navigation bar to provide more logical groupings. Add "format=plain" option for all-nodes index listing and associated template plain_index.tt. New message to appear on pages when you have been redirected informing you of the fact. Stop showing potentially very long map URLs in metadata section of node display. Replace ugly obliques in display of categories and locales with more natural commas; change "locale" to "locales" in label. Replace <label> tags in display_metadata.tt with <span class="metadata_label">. Wanted pages listing now displays, and sorts by, the number of nodes pointing to each node. Prevent redirect loops. Add _ to the list of forbidden characters in node names Dominic.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Quick wikispam delete?
by Rev Simon Rumble 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

(turn on minor changes) http://engineer.openguides.org/?RecentChanges I've been massively spammed by some Wikispamming bastards. What's a quick way to delete all these nodes? I also can't see how all these Categories and Locales were auto-created, there doesn't seem to be a main node linking to these categories?!?!? -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon(a)rumble.net> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Geeks need vacations too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion." - Kitty Farmer, Donnie Darko
