I have just gained access to Tool Labs and I do not have a replica.my.conf in my home directory. As of WikiTech I have to create a ticket in Phabricator.

@Fabian24d97: I noticed that you marked this as resolved by yourself. How did you fix this issue? Other users have been experiencing it too, so it'd be useful to know... Semi-relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/979/

I have missed that only tools have a replica.my.conf, so I created a tool which then had one.
That's not true: All user and tool accounts (in the Toolforge project) should have a ~/replica.my.cnf (cf. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs/Database and modules/labstore/files/create-dbusers).
I tested modules/labstore/files/create-dbusers's logic to find all users and servicegroups (print(all_users)), and a) it does not seem to include the user account fdamken or Fabian24d97 and b) the logic for calculating the home directory looks wrong:
def homedir(self):
prefix = '/srv/project/%s' % self.project
if self.kind == 'user':
return os.path.join(prefix, 'home', self.name.lower())
else:
return os.path.join(
prefix, 'project',
re.sub(r'^%s\.' % self.project, '', self.name.lower())
)For tool accounts, self.name is for example tools.wikilint, but for user accounts, self.name is for example Tim Landscheidt, so the logic will only work for user accounts with the same shell user name as the wiki user name.
