Vote bot

Latest comment: 16 years ago24 comments2 people in discussion

Are you actively developing the vote bot? If not, I'd like to write it ;) --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 14:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

neg. Go for it. I have wikipedia version, but havn't really looked at it in a while. Shane (talk) 20:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK, I've finished it and it's running fine on my wiki. It does require MW 1.13, though. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

That could be a problem. :D Gotta link? Shane (talk) 12:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

To what, the bot or 1.13? Currently, 1.13 hasn't been released yet, there's only 1.13alpha that you can download from SVN. I'll upload the bot code later, after I've documented it. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

No no. :p To your wiki to where you tested it. :D Shane (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have it running on localhost, so I can't really show you. Maybe you could set up the Hangar Bay again (it's still out) and have it run 1.13alpha? I'll be happy to do the SVN checkout if you feel awkward about that. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

domain back up an working. You should be able to access the hb folder with your access. I think the LocalSettings.php file that is on there now has the current username/password you will need for updating to 1.13. Shane (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. However, I don't have write access to /home/bsgwiki/bots/ either, so I can't add VoteBot there. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 18:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Do'h! :P Will add. Shane (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK, more trouble. The bot is up there and I can run it from my machine, but since I guess we'll wanna run it on apollo as a cron job, I'll need you to work around some stupid PHP bug and add the following lines to /etc/hosts:

74.53.78.34 hb.battlestarwiki.org
74.53.78.34 en.battlestarwiki.org

etc. for every subdomain we want VoteBot to run on. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 20:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Werid. Let me check it out before I do anything with the hosts files. Shane (talk) 21:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Gota ya. Adding to our hosts file. HB and EN for now. Shane (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Double werid. I added to our hosts file those lines, and still no go on the command execution. Try to remove the port. Shane (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I added the 775 flags to the file so we cna work on it. Not the /etc/hosts file. Gtalk ? Shane (talk) 21:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Got it working. :) Shane (talk) 21:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, a typo must've happened somewhere. The last octet should be 35, not 34. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

?? What? Shane (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I mean the IP address in the /etc/hosts file for hb.battlestarwiki.org (and en for that matter) should end in .35, not .34. No idea why, but try to run ping en.battlestarwiki.org from your machine at home and see what IP it gives you. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Doh! That's right. I gave the wiki URL it's own IP. :) Changed... Why task bot didn't run last night too. Shane (talk) 14:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is because we are using one LocalSettings.php file for all the hosts. :( Shane (talk) 14:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

No, that wasn't it, it was a small modification I made to Snoopy once. I then redownloaded Snoopy and forgot about it. It works now. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 18:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's really working now, see this. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 19:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
