In production, the 'sql' shell script will transparently connect a mysql client to the database of whatever project name is passed in parameter. We need a similar wrapper in beta. The production script relies on wikiadmin_pass which can only be run by members of the wikidev group. That in turns does not exist on beta.
As a workaround, I use the very lame: $ cat sql #!/bin/sh USER=`php -r 'include("/home/wikipedia/common/wmf-config/PrivateSettings.php"); print $wgDBuser;'` PASS=`php -r 'include("/home/wikipedia/common/wmf-config/PrivateSettings.php"); print $wgDBpassword;'` HOST="deployment-sql" mysql -u $USER -p$PASS -h $HOST $
We should use the production sql script. It does not work right now because: - wikiadmin_pass belongs to the wikidev group (which does not exist on beta) - the password there is wrong, it is populated by puppet

It does not work right now because: > - wikiadmin_pass belongs to the wikidev group (which does not exist on beta) The wikidev group does now exist in eqiad labs and beta. > - the password there is wrong, it is populated by puppet This password is taken from the puppet variable $passwords::misc::scripts::wikiadmin_pass. Since we have a local puppet master for beta now we can override this variable with a local commit to /var/lib/git/labs/private/modules/passwords/manifests/init.pp on the deployment-salt host. If someone knows the password for the "wikiadmin" mysql account in beta I'd be happy to fix this.
This also works: mwscript sql.php --wiki=aawiki
[08:47] < bd808> hoo: We are just missing a password in the private puppet repo at this point. S.pringle probably knows what it is. [08:47] < hoo> bd808: No, we don't [08:47] < hoo> wikiadmin_pass is correct there [08:48] < hoo> just the user is not wikiadmin, but mw
