Problems

user:Yuvipanda, at previously discussed, here is the first chunk of a walk through using PAWS. Once these very basic commands work, I should be able to construct a more detailed walk though covering most of the functionality needed for CGI type tasks.

I've verified that this works, see https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Test&diff=prev&oldid=253311 YuviPanda (talk) 23:49, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

The one issue was I got a fairly fun 'account does not exist on testwiki' error since I hadn't visited testwiki with my test account even once. Stacktrace at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P2372 YuviPanda (talk) 23:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Internal server error

It doesn't seem to matter which computer, which browser or which account I use (I made a new account since my other one was from years ago), every time I click "start server" I always get the following error:

500 : Internal Server Error

Failed to start your server. Please contact admin.

I did visit test wiki and everything so I don't know why this is happening. It's very annoying.

I get:

503: Proxy Target Missing

The upstream service is unavailable

I have tried now, and it seems to be working ok for me. Maybe someone has restarted the service already.. John Vandenberg (talk) 01:11, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I has been 404 : Not Found since yesterday. --V111P (talk) 17:01, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

I get that "404" today. Does it happen often? And last for how long? --LA2-bot (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

My problems disappeared after I had removed web browser cookies. --LA2 (talk) 00:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Cannot start server (error 500) again

@John Vandenberg, YuviPanda, and Legoktm: I tried to sign up to PAWS but unfortunately got the error 500 (cannot start server) again. Can one of you look into this and see if PAWS needs rebooting / other kinds of fixing? Deryck C.^Meta 10:43, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Unable to login to te.wikisource using PAWS terminal

I got the following error.

Unable to start server

Every time I try to start my server I got the following message, is there any body who can look into the matter, it would be a great help.

500 : Internal Server Error
Failed to start your server. Please contact admin.

Internal Server Error: Redirect loop detected

I also get an Internal Server Error message every time I try Start My Server:

500 : Internal Server Error
Redirect loop detected.

Just the same issue. --Alex brollo (talk) 21:30, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Detached mode / Automation

Is there a way to launch PAWS notebooks in the background or as cron jobs ? The scripts are too long to keep y browser open until the end. --Tdbot (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, not at the time. I do plan to launch an extension to jupyterhub to allow just that (setup cronjob on PAWS), but I cannot give a timeline for it.

PAWS only kills your server if it is not pinged by a browser session for over one hour, so your script will have to be over one hour in execution to be affected. I also plan to configure it in a way to allow all running kernels and terminals to finish before killing, but that is not simple and I cannot give a timeline for my volunteer time on this.

What changes in 2023??

I tried

> pwb.py login
> pwb.py replace

unsuccessful: bash: pwb.py: command not found. I tried

> pwb login


it works, but

> pwb.py replace

unsuccessful: ERROR: replace.py not found! Misspelling?.
