The problem is http://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/27159 which moved from /mnt/upload6 to /mnt/upload7 We use the same config in labs, but don't have /mnt/upload7 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/28391 fixes it.
I have created the /data/upload7 directory and move private/captcha from upload6 to that.
Ignore comment 2. So production simply renamed upload6 to upload7. Did the same in /data/project and the setup has been updated by Gerrit change #27159 and Gerrit change #28391. I also add to manually apply the puppet class nfs::upload::labs to the apaches instances. Probably need to be done on other instances too.
So that should have fixed the issue but http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin still throw out an exception :-(
Giving up for tonight. Would need to add some debugging statement or enhance the stupid error message which is not at all helpful to track down the root cause :-]
I no longer get an error there.
Issue is still around.
It is now working (and I did no change other than editing a file and undoing the edit). I suspect it was cached somewhere.
It might because the configuration cache is only invalidated when InitialiseSettings.php is touched. We should probably fix that :)
I had changed a different one. Well, we should keep an eye if this late-noticing happens again on the future.
