[Wikitech-l] Lots of proxy errors on secure server

2010-03-30 Thread George Herbert
FYI - I am seeing a lot (10-20% of queries) on secure.wikimedia.org
return proxy errors, since the recent outage.  I had been hoping it
would just go away, but the rate is still high...

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET
/wikipedia/en/wiki/User_talk:Foobar.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7wm1 with
Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at
secure.wikimedia.org Port 443

I'm an administrator on the English language Wikipedia, and an OTRS
member.  On general principles, given those levels of access, unsecure
web credentials usage is a no-no (and there's no unsecure access to
OTRS and I think the OTRS wiki...).

I just wonder while it does not offer anything else than normal access. 
If you don't want to answer just be polite.

 Maybe someone else can replicate...

I've been having the same problems for a while now. A reload usually
fixes the problem, though, so I haven't bothered to try and figure out
under which circumstances these errors appear.

I've also been able to reload my way out of it when it happens, but
the total rate (proxy errors per initial page / access attempts) is
high enough to mention at least...  10% plus is pretty noticeable.
There may have been periods where it was less failure, but it's been
that high for some extended periods I've tried to use it since the
outage.

It's not a real priority, but irritating enough to bring up.  I'd
rather me be irritated by this than anything be down with the main
insecure site, but if the admins have a chance to look into this I for
one would appreciate it.

RobH will be installing a new secure gateway (gilman) shortly. It was
racked some hours ago.

Should be fixed now. Apparently someone reduced the request timeout to
5 seconds during the downtime on the 24th.
