Wikidata Lexeme demo system needs PHP7
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It looks like wikidata-lexeme.wmflabs.org automatically updated to newest MediaWiki, which requires PHP7, but the demo system runs PHP5.

I recently updated the constraints demo system to stretch to get PHP7 (just for performance reasons, though now I suppose that was a good idea in general :) ) – I think it shouldn’t be too difficult to do the same thing for the lexeme demo system.

Event Timeline

I wonder if the way to solve this is to nuke the wikidata-lexeme.wmflabs.org ? Or would there still be a use for it, and it is worth the maintenance effort? What do you say @Lydia_Pintscher?

Ok. Let's nuke it and replace it with a really simple page saying "This demo system has been closed. You can use https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org now".

I thought it might be useful to test senses… or are we going to enable those on Beta soon?

Okay, then I’ll kill the demo system.

Done. (If we ever want to resurrect it, I’ve left /var/www/html/ and everything in place, Apache just serves /var/www/html-closed/ now and redirects everything there.)

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2018-05-28T13:42:05Z] <Lucas_WMDE> wikidata-lexeme configured apache to serve a simple “this system is closed” page instead of MediaWiki T195655

Wait, I suppose we should kill whatever process auto-updates that system…

Removed from ladsgroup’s crontab (SAL – forgot to attach the task). Anything else to be done?

@WMDE-leszek Anything else to be done? Otherwise let's close this.
