Wiki uneditable?
- Thread starter 77topaz
- Start date
The wiki at travellerwiki.org is being moved to wiki.travellerrpg.com (i.e. here with the COTI boards). There are still server and DNS issues that prevent the latter from being seen and opened. These issues are being resolved. When I have more information I'll post it here.
I've opened the wiki at travellerwiki.org for editing again until these issues are resolved.

Okay. How long do you think it will be until the wiki at wiki.travellerrpg.com will be functional?
Also, is all the data on the small wiki that is already at this site (the old one) also on the travellerwiki.org wiki?
I do not know when the final move will take place. There are still outstanding server configuration issues to be resolved. The wiki server is shared with the CotI server and the whole thing is going through upgrades. Aramis has posted announcements regarding the upgrades.
As far as I know all the data in the old wiki is either already in the main wiki, or are items not available under the QuikLink fair use policy.
wiki.travellerrpg.com is now the link in the navbar. (just set.)
The upgrade process is supposedly done, and all the nightmare stuff seems to have worked itself out, save for the testing environment. (which was broken BEFORE the move).
So, TJoneslo, the wiki is your show...

Nah, it's simply on the wrong side of the d.
Hunter typoed. I've fixed.
Link is working fine here.
Internet Explorer, however, is utter drekh. THE WORST of all browsers I've had to deal with. Well behind the standards curve, and actually attempting to contravene standards in a few areas. If you're using IE, there's your biggest problem.
the DNS entry is present in the authoritative DNS (NS1.farfuture.net) . I can do nothing about your choice of DNS.
ns1.rpgrealm.com no longer exists.

This is also occurring for me.
My problem is that the browser I'm using, which can display any other page I usually frequent, can't display this particular page. It seems to me that William of Occam would agree with me that the difference must lie with the undisplayable page rather than the browser, however inferior it may be.

Indeed. The browser doesn't even "attempt" to load the page (a faulty connection might also cause the error screen, but would show loading), but rather jumps to the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" screen almost immediately, which probably indicates an error with the page itself. I might try using the diagnostic ("search for problems") function on the error screen to see if it comes up with anything useful.
Go ahead... I can't test IE issues - I don't have a windows box, and won't use it on friend's windows boxes (because they would take great umbrage about opening that back door to virus).
The page is a standard wiki install with standard content, renders fine in chrome for mac and on Android.
I'm getting a DNS failure at the moment, myself.
You might want to add ns1.farfuture.net ( 209.59.173.114) to your nameserver list.

Okay, http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/ now looks the same as http://travellerwiki.org/.
My login works; however, some recent edits do not seem to match between the two. To be precise, it seems to be the case that none of the edits that were made to travellerwiki.org after 7 April 2013 have been transferred to wiki.travellerrpg.com.

I made a copy of the entire travellerwiki.org site on 7-APR-2013, including the database. Before the wiki here goes live I'll move the database again (capturing all the changes at travellerwiki.org). So feel free to make changes.
Copying the database over is a manual, mutli-step, hour long process, including locking both wikis. I'd rather not be repeating it unless I really need to.
Which means a DNS issue, not a problem with the page. The problem is in between you and the server, not at either one. (As I said, IE isn't standards compliant, including not telling you the correct nature of the error.)
Hm, the http://wiki.travellerrpg.com page seems to be malfunctioning again. Running a diagnostic comes up with "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem". Strangely enough, the page http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Main_Page does seem to work at the moment.
