Issue with mysql connection on tosback.org server?

[michielbdejong]

The tosback.org server ran out of diskspace. I removed the git history of this repo which was taking up 15Gb out of the 20Gb disk that server has, by doing a git shallow clone. The disk issue seems solved now, but I found that the script had stopped working.

When running it manually, I found it helps if I comment out https://github.com/tosdr/tosback2/blob/master/rubycode/main.rb#L12 I guess that will mean the git repo will still be updated, but the information on the web page will no longer get updated - I guess it uses mysql to communicate with https://github.com/tosdr/ToSBack3?

In any case, it's running now, I'll see if the website gets updated once the script is finished.

at least it's crawling again now, it was interrupted from 8 to 22 June: https://github.com/tosdr/tosback2/commits/master/crawl

It's working again. Some dependencies were missing and the shallow git clone likely erased the file containing the mysql credentials.
