Wikipedia:Refill/restart

Sometimes reFill goes down for no known reason. Often, restarting either the web server or the API will fix the problem.

These procedures can be carried out by any of the maintainers listed here. If you have appropriate skills and wish to be added as a maintainer, please contact Curb Safe Charmer.

Accessing Toolforge

You will need a Wikimedia developer account, an SSH public key, and to have been added as a maintainer (see above).

You can use an SSH client such as PuTTY (Windows), or on WSL/Linux you can simply add your private key to your ~/.ssh folder then type ssh login.toolforge.org

Restarting the web server

Symptoms

• Visiting any page in your browser gives the error:

  Toolforge
  
  Not found
  
  The URL you have requested, https://refill.toolforge.org/ng, doesn't seem to actually exist.
  
  If you have reached this page by following a link
  
  This URL is managed by the refill tool, maintained by Curb Safe Charmer, Cyberpower678, Novem Linguae, Samtar, SD0001, Zhaofeng Li.
  
  Perhaps its files are on vacation, or the link you've followed doesn't actually lead somewhere useful?
  
  You might want to look at the list of tools to find what you were looking for. If you're pretty sure this shouldn't be an error, you may wish to notify the tool's maintainers (they are listed above) about the error and how you ended up here.
