Reply To: Moving the site to MediaWiki 1.43
The replacement remote replication database server is now running. A change to the previous setup is that this server is used for the ElasticSearch/CirrusSearch full reindex which now happens daily at 2:30am (which means there’s no load on the live database & Redis servers).
Both of the new replacement MediaWiki servers (PHP-FPM and Apache/ModPerl API) are up & running and are currently being tested.
There’s still quite a bit of work to do in the background, so realistically I’m not expecting to do the final switchover to the new servers until later on in February. Until then, the live site remains “read only”.
