I could host it on the same server as The Infosphere and the Futurama Madhouse.

You are a shining Knight.

[Reply #161 on:]

Nuts, I would have jumped at that chance. Guess I should stop being at work when things are happening.

Wikipeelia.com is only a fiver though, I could buy it and point it at your server.

Begin a furious bidding war for control of the greatest open source informational resource that this world has ever known!

[Reply #163 on:]

Hoorah!

[Reply #164 on:]

I'll take wikipeelia.org for $2000!

[Reply #165 on:]

Thank god Svip wikipeelia will stay up.
I'm making a wikipeelia page about myself (complete with memorable quotes from tnuk, jezz and coldy) but I don't know what to write to get the avatar picture on. I tried putting on the image address but it doesn't work. Could someone help please?

[Reply #166 on:]

You need to upload the file to the wiki. The necessary link is bottom left I think.

[Reply #167 on:]

I'll try, thanks.

[Reply #168 on:]

Any information about this, Spiff?

You can contact me at blurp

[Reply #169 on:]

I'm sorry, I'm absolutely drowning in work right now. I didn't have any time to take care of the wiki yet.
You can also delete the adress there, I've got it and that should at least cut down on the spam somewhat.

[Reply #170 on:]

All right, everyone, see what I did there? If WikiPEELia is going to be worth rehosting, it's going to need every single one of you to keep it current. Even if you're just going to update the Main Page with the latest news, or outfit the newest POTM winner with a shiny infobox, that little detail is worth so much for the credibility of the project as a whole. It takes dedication to achieve results. And if you're in doubt about something, ask! We're supposed to be a community, are we not?

[Reply #171 on:]

You killed the ruddy server! Though I assume it's temporary.

[Reply #172 on:]

I gave it more activity in a few hours than you lot seem to have given it in the past eighteen months.

[Reply #173 on:]

Spiff hasn't called yet, so eh.

[Reply #174 on:]

Odd. Everything I did yesterday was completely reset overnight. I'm not to happy about that.

Luckily I've learned from DROOPWiki, and kept text backups of all my more important changes.

The wiki keeps track of the changes.  Not to worry.  You can always revert to an early revision.

[Reply #176 on:]

For a moment, that's what I thought. But then I discovered everything was reset literally, none of the edits I made yesterday ever seem to have existed in the first place. Check the [wikipeelia=Special:Recentchanges]Recent Changes[/wikipeelia] page yourself. What happened to everything on July 7th?

[Reply #177 on:]

Spiff farted, I bet.  Resets to earlier versions happens on some servers.  It's usually a backup mechanism that daily stores everything in an image.  For whatever reason, someone decided to take a loop back, because something went amiss.

I can trust you, this would not happen when hosted on the Infosphere's server.

SPIFF, DU BIST EINE SLACKER.

[Reply #178 on:]

Hey lookit, someone killed it again.

[Reply #179 on:]

Man, you people notice this shit fast.

I'm sorry, as I've said, I didn't have time to verify my backups and shit, so it took a while. Anyway, I didn't do anything, I share this server and someone else decided to do a system update. Backups have been made of everything, so nothing is lost. I think. Some of the stuff of the past 24 hours might be gone, but I'm not sure and too lazy to check (best admin, I know).

Either way, I can restore this temporarily, but I have all the files now and I'll send it to Svip soon. If you can't set it up right away, tell me, Svip, then I'll temporarily put it back up again.

ps: Y'all butts, I get up at 7 these days and come back at like 11 at night. Bear with me, damnit.

e: So I looked at the backups my friend made and I have to extract the wiki database from the big one since I only have backup of our entire SQL database right now. That might take a while and as I'm busy, I hope you guys can wait until Sunday, at which point I'm free again and will take care of it.
Again, I apologize. If the Wiki is needed like right now, I can destroy our new system and set it back to the old one, but unless I really have to, I'd like to avoid that.

Well, I am still hoping for confirmation on getting wiki.peelified.com from mArc or Slimmy.  However, neither have really gotten back to me on the subject.  I could technically set the wiki up in a trifle, but I am not sure where I should point it at to begin with.  I might locate a temporary solution, I guess.

All I need is the SQL database and the images (assuming there are images, of course).  And I'll have it up and running in not time.

[Reply #181 on:]

Don't restore it if you're in the middle of the transfer, Spiff. Re-editing wiki later is no problem, particularly since I have all those backups I mentioned. Good luck with the process.

edit: Right now I'm considering setting up a server with the MediaWiki platform on localhost so I can experiment with templates while offline.

[Reply #182 on:]

I can only point the wiki.peelified.com subdomain to another domain, subdomain or URL once it is up (via HTTP 302).

PS: Everyone please use a different password on the wiki than on PEEL... Sharing passwords for different things = bad (ask aslate). It'd be a good idea to change PEEL passwords now and then anyway. So, why not do it now...

[Reply #183 on:]

Do you not have access to dns records and such?

[Reply #184 on:]

Yo Marc, that timing was creepy. Also: You've got mail.

Wikipeelia shall rise again! Not under the current adress though - I'll put a site with a link to the new Wiki there once it's up.

[Reply #185 on:]

Cool, sounds like it won't be my problem then.

[Reply #186 on:]

I had initially planned for it to be your problem, the dump even has your e-mail address (in your profile) as the one for the WikiSysop, but I got Marc's mail in time.

[Reply #187 on:]

I have no problem with this.  It should also be Marc's wiki when you think about it.  Just glad things are working out.  And again, Marc, if you need any help with the wiki software, you know my name; just look up the number.

[Reply #188 on:]

I got most of the stuff working now. But I think I'm missing the images (directory was empty).

Now that it's kinda moving from unofficial PEEL to official PEEL, can anyone look into making a more blue skin? 

[Reply #189 on:]

I don't like that the wiki says my clitoris is shaped like a zipper. Its shaped like a nubbin.

Duh.

Already emailed you on the matter.

[Reply #191 on:]

Yeah, soo... about the pictures: Remember when I said I had a backup of everything? Apparently I was wrong. I have no idea where the pictures, I've gone through the entire freaking backup of our server (/ for God's sake) and can't find it. I have no idea where the pictures went. They should be in the images folder. The config file told the wiki to look there. I have no idea where they are.

If the pictures are badly needed and nobody has local versions of them, I can restore a previous backup of the server, try and find them there and then send them to Marc. But as it is, I'm a bit stumped as to what the fuck is going on here.

[Reply #192 on:]

Well... right now the lack of images makes MW very confused (e.g. when it tries to size them when viewing articles) and spews out errors.

The amount of pictures on the wiki (I have counted at least 737 on it) would be hard for people to replace even remotely quickly; even if they had them locally.

If restoring to a previous image and collecting the images would not be too big a deal for you, it would be very appreciated.

[Reply #193 on:]

I know I have a couple of the animated gifs stored. But the majority of pic uploads for things like PEELathons and AGI's would be hard for me to find, since they were done 2 hard drives ago. So I'm not going to be able to help much. Sorry.

[Reply #194 on:]

I was reviewing the wiki for needed updates quite a bit during the few days before it came down, and I don't recall there being that many new pictures added recently. If the previous backup wasn't made too long ago, you might be better off just restoring things from that.

[Reply #195 on:]

Server backup restored, images found. I'm downloading as we speak and will later send them to Marc. I've also noticed that I might have accidentally sent you some more outdated files, so I'll look into that as well. Woop~

[Reply #196 on:]

Don't worry about the files themselves, Marc installed a new version of MW.  He can just use the database.  MW's update.php script is pretty powerful stuff.

[Reply #197 on:]

I think ...



I got it!

The [wikipeelia]WikiPEELia[/wikipeelia] is up with images now (thanks Spaceman). As far as I can tell, the only thing that's missing is a favicon.

[Reply #198 on:]

Neat!

[Reply #199 on:]

Nice choice of a pic, marc... wonder how many here get it though
