Aye. I noticed this the other day too. I tried to log in as root to

have the required permissions on ask01.stg?
Fixed. It was something I missed moving it to ansible.
Please let me know if it still doesn't work.

There's a cron job that sends out mail using the post-office backend.
We could just disable that?
We could. If we want to go the replace db route let me know.

I could at least enter and send feedback on staging. I have no idea
who it went to: I haven't received an e-mail yet. It's possible
feedback was fixed in 0.7.49 too?
Possible. Yes, I didn't see any emails from it either... so we need to
figure out where it's going.

I am. I hadn't the time to do the update with the django1.4
requirement etc., but since Anshu took care of that I should be able
to help with the other issues.
Excellent. ;)
Would you also be willing to ping the sysadmin-ask group and find out
who is still active/should be removed? Or any new folks that do want
to work on it added.

+1 for meta on the site. It's a lot better than sending out mails
to a
bunch of people.
Cool. Is there any easy way for people interested in just that to
follow it?

This would be a lot easier if upstream demonstrated multilang support
on their instance (Do they?). It's all documented, but not very easy
to debug.
Yeah. ;(

We aren't using celery on our instance, are we? We use
django-post-office as the mail backend instead. I'm not sure if celery
is limited to mailing, or if it has other effects on the functioning
of askbot too. It's listed as "optional". Ticket where I set up
django-post-office:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3763
It seems django-celery is obsolete and python-celery can work directly
with django from version 3.1
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-celery
So, it appears that python-celery needs to be updated to 3.1 and
django-celery obsoleted?
I don't know. ;)

Thanks again for bringing up the list. I'll try and work on some
of
these issues in the coming weeks.
Great. I would really really like to get this updated in prod soon...
