iwlocal event fails - teamsite


Problem:
Today we had a horrible problem with teamsite. It appeared that no submit deployments were running since the box was rebooted for some patching.

Our submit deployments are configured in [TS_HOME]/local/iwlocal.cfg
where on 'iwatsub' event, a custom script kicks off the deployment.
This custom script logs to a file, and tailing that file showed that the script never ran, ever!

Solution:
after a bit of digging, i realized that the event subsystem was probably down. This is how you restart it, to fix this problem:

sudo /etc/init.d/iw.local stop
sudo /etc/init.d/iw.local start

after restarting iw.local the submit deployments started running again. It may be the case, that iw.local needs to run after a reboot, and does not do so automatically.

apache vhost maintenance switching

problem:
i need to put my site into maintenance mode when some work is being done on the app servers.

solution:
add this rewrite to all vhosts that need to be taken down. When the switch needs to happen, create /system/maintenance.html
delete the file, or rename it when the maintenance is finished.

RewriteCond /system/maintenance.html -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ /system/maintenance.html [L]

NOTE:
this solution will cause all your images/js/css files to redirect to the maintenance page. Modify the regex if that is a problem, otherwise, dont use any image/js/css on the maintenance.html page.
