JohnnySTBtw is somone working fulltime on schooltool?13:57
JohnnySTjinty, yes sure.13:57

WelshWelsh here22:57
Welshjinty:  you around?22:57
pcardunehello22:58
povbot/svn/commits: * mg committed revision 5214:22:59
povbot/svn/commits: Previously, if you called restclient.createPerson(..., username), and there already was a person with this username, two things would happen:22:59
povbot/svn/commits: 1. Your requested user would overwrite the existing one.  2. createPerson would raise a SchoolToolError because it received 200 OK, not22:59
povbot/svn/commits: 201 Created.22:59
povbot/svn/commits: Obviously this makes no sense.  There are two solutions:22:59
povbot/svn/commits: A. Let createPerson overwrite existing users, and say it was a success.  B. Make createPerson add some HTTP header that would prevent the user22:59
povbot/svn/commits: from clobbering existing users, and then raise an exception.22:59
povbot/svn/commits: (A) is simpler, so that's what I implemented in this checkin.22:59
jintyWelsh yeah23:01
jintypcardune: hi23:02
Welshhey23:02
Welshso the norm is to type sudo before the setup commands23:03
Welshjinty:  we're going with that23:03
jintyits better security practice, that I forget about a lot23:03
Welshright.  sudo it is!23:04
WelshI'll change the documentation to reflect that23:04
WelshNeed a procedure now for backing up Data.fs23:04
Welshownership of Data.fs is an issue23:05
jintyThe question is how complex/rigorous23:05
Welshoverall I'm thinking we should get the managers to copy Data.fs to their home directories23:05
Welshand rename it Data.fs.10-11-05 (date of backup)23:05
pcarduneofftopic: does the Zope3 trunk have the testbrowser module now?  or is it still in its own branch?23:05
jintyhowso is the permission an issue if the managers have root access on the machine?23:05
jintypcardune: saw srichter merging it a few days ago23:06
Welshthey're not logging on as root, are they?23:06
srichteryes, the Zope 3 trunk has zope.testbrowser now23:06
srichter(yipee)23:06
mgedmin2-digit year names are EVIL23:07
mgedminis 10-11-05 a backup from 2010?23:07
mgedminis it octobet 11 or november 10?23:07
Welsh10-11-2005 better?23:07
* mgedmin is an ISO-8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) bigot23:08
mgedminalso filenames with YYYY-MM-DD sort better23:08
mgedmincheers!23:08
*** mgedmin has quit IRC23:08
Welshyyyy-mm-dd then?23:08
jintysomething like: sudo cp /var/lib/schooltool/Data.fs ~/Data.fs-`date --iso-8601`23:09
jintyer replace cp with cp -p23:10
jintyWelsh: It is quite important for the permissions on the Data.fs to be restrictive. Otherwise normal users on the machine could look inside...23:12
Welshso the cp -p command will keep Data.fs as user cando, group cando?23:14
povbot/svn/commits: * jinty committed revision 5215:23:14
povbot/svn/commits: Implemented evil hack number 3 to try to get the tarball funftional tests working. Also cleaned up the python path settings in test.py a little, I think.23:14
jintyyeah23:14
Welshthen the restore command would look like, from the home directory...23:15
Welshcp -p Data.fs.2005-10-11 /var/lib/cando/Data.fs23:15
jintyer, you probably would want to stop any running server first before ripping away it's database23:16
jinty;)23:16
jintyso: sudo /etc/init.d/schooltool stop23:17
Welshso stop cando, then backup, then restart?23:17
Welshgotcha23:17
Welshok, I think I've got the procedure.23:17
th1aDoes Zope3 back up the database when you pack it?23:17
th1aYou might be able to steal code from that process.23:17
jintyYou shouldn't have to stop during backup, only during restore23:17
jintyth1a: I think you are right...23:18
WelshI'm also using SCP to copy the backups from the server to my desktop23:18
jintyhere is a more complete doc about backing up Data.fs': http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FileStorageBackup23:21
Welshawesome23:22
* jinty eats his words when he reads about cp or rsync not good for live Data.fs'23:23
Welshrighto... forget about stopping that server.23:24
Welsher... sorry... I am stopping that server23:25
povbot/svn/commits: * jinty committed revision 5216:23:27
povbot/svn/commits: Allow for the differences in options between the schooltool and zope test runners.23:27
th1aThere should be lots of stuff floating around on the web about backing up the Data.fs of Zope 2 servers.23:29

Welshjinty:  I'm going to keep working on the documentation for SchoolTool/Cando23:39
Welshuntil I feel like people can get going without me23:39
Welshthen I'll focus on training as many of my own staff as possible, using the website for backup23:39
Welshmay have more questions for you as I progress23:39
