[OSM-dev] Status of Database Server after 0.4 Upgrade: Fragile

Hi,
I am still frequently seeing "500 internal server error"s when
uploading stuff, and also when I try to render a tile with the t at h
client, in 5% to 10% of cases the server just won't reply at all (timeout).
I didn't make a big fuss about this, believing that a lot of "behind the
scenes" work is going on, that these problems must be well known and
being worked on; but today I took a look at trac and the tickets I see
there are a lot of little things that are broken - but no indication of
the fact that we're currently still in a sort of maintenance mode with a
noticeable proportion of calls to the database server simply not working.
Put in other words, our trac looks like this:
+--------------------------------+
| White Star Line |
| HMS Titanic |
| To-Do List |
| |
| 1. Doorknob loose in cabin #23 |
| 2. Toilet not working in #55 |
| 3. ... |
+--------------------------------+
This is not a complaint - I am just a bit unsure, because there's not
that much information on this mailing list about what people are working
on with the server, and until now I believed they're working on fixing
the obvious problems, and if this is true then just go on and ignore me.
I am just writing this on the slim chance that everybode except me
believes everything is working fine, and later I am told "why didn't you
raise the issue when you had all those errors...?"
I'll open a ticket for the internal server errors, just to be on the
safe side.
(If help is wanted identifying the problems, I am ready to try my luck
any time, but I'd need access to the db server including server-restart,
tcpdump, and strace privileges, and I can understand if you hesitate to
hand these out to just anyone. I have already tried to reproduce the
problem using a locally-installed rails server but that, being neither
under much load nor having too much data, doesn't cough up.)
Bye
Frederik
