Wiki / FAQ changes

Jul 09, 2009 9 Replies

Grunff and I are in the process of shifting the wiki and FAQ to a new server. Part of this change requires changes to the DNS records for the sites. As a result you may run into some access problems over the next



48 hours as the changes can take a little time to ripple through and be consistent for all users and ISPs.

Also I would suggest you refrain from making any wiki changes for a couple of days, since you won't know if you are updating the new site or the old one - and changes to the old one will probably be lost since its database has already been copied over.



Sorry for the inconvenience...


Chances are everyone should be seeing the new server now....

I just get 'cant locate remote server'

Make sure you are not trying to use "

formatting link
" - although that was never the proper address, it did work on the old setup. You need to use the real address now, which is:

wiki.diyfaq.org.uk

(i.e. no "www." on the front)

Upload file

The upload directory (/var/www/vhosts/wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/httpdocs/ images) is not writable by the webserver.

It gets past that point now, but clicking the button to upload the image gives:

special page Internal error Could not copy file "/tmp/phpkXS99e" to "/var/www/vhosts/ wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/httpdocs/images/d/d6/Pattress_metal_406-3.jpg".Thanks for working on this

Mostly Grunff on this bit... I have passed you bug report on ;-)

(I have managed to nuke a good number of the spammy accounts BTW)

Grunff has changed some permissions - see if that is any better.

(I did try dropping you an email earlier, but got a bounce with a mailbox disabled error. Can you drop me a line with a working address?)
