[wp mirror]

Dear Matt,

Happy New Year. Thank you very much for the bug report.

Building a mirror of the `enwiki' is the most demanding case, and I do not recommend trying it first. It really is faster to first run the default case, make sure that it works (and report any bugs), and then build what you really want.

0) Default

Please first try the default case which mirrors the `simplewiki' and `simplewiktionary'. This can be accomplished as follows:

(rootshell)# wp-mirror --restore-default

(rootshell)# wp-mirror --mirror

Please let me know if the reported error messages recur (the ones about `wpmirror.time' and `wpmirror.priority' missing). WP-MIRROR should be quite robust. Robustness is a design objective. If any tables are missing, they should be rebuilt the next time WP-MIRROR runs.

If you are comfortable with `mysql', it is also legitimate to drop the `wpmirror' database, as it will be rebuilt the next time WP-MIRROR runs. This can be accomplished as follows:

(shell)$ mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password
...

mysql> DROP DATABASE 'wpmirror';

mysql> QUIT;

And then restore-default as above.

1) enwiki

Once the default case is known to work, build the mirrors that you really want. This can be done as follows:

(rootshell)# wp-mirror --add enwiki

(rootshell)# wp-mirror --mirror

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

Subject: Table 'wpmirror.time' doesn't exist
I am attempting to run wp-mirror for the first time on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.

I have the storage capacity to mirror "en" wikipedia, so I have that selected in local.conf

Each line printed by the state machine is preceded by:

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'wpmirror.time' doesn't exist

That database has two tables, 'files' and 'priority'.

The initial launch of the state machine emitted some lisp warnings.

Should I abort my run and start over? Is this normal?

Please CC as I am not subscribed to the list.

Thank you,

Matt
