Description

Commons-New-Files-Missing-Thumbnails.png

A number of thumbnails are missing or broken when visiting pages on Commons that have a lot of very recently uploaded files -- such as Special:NewFiles or some of the busier WLM campaign pages (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-in). Reloading usually fixes the issue.

This seems to have been been a long standing issue, but we've not escalated it before, because it's so ephemeral. However, the new campaign features are now making this a more visible problem.

The broken thumbs show up as error 500s upon inspection in the debug console; with the response below.

This issue was reported by Erik Moeller.

bzimport set Reference to bz54188.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Getting someone with shell access to run the actual convert command (with limit.sh) on mw1154 might be a good debugging step. I suspect that host is misconfigured
