Subject: Re: Speaking of servers (wiki) Author: Kirby [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:19:14 05/02/12 Wed In reply to: Sam 's message, "Speaking of servers (wiki)" on 01:16:28 04/29/12 Sun The issue is finding a hosting service that will guarantee for Mediawiki to run correctly without them charging an arm and a leg. I have been hosting the wiki on my domain via Network Solutions. When it is moved I will be moving my personal site also. Right now to get a guarantee of compatible operation most hosting services are asking $34.95 a month and up. Currently I am paying about $12.00 a month. We are running on a unix server farm and want to stay on Unix because Mediawiki does not run well on Windows. I have spent several hours on the phone with the host's tech support people and they cannot deem to fix the problem. If you have ideas please email me direct and I will be glad to discuss it with you. Kirby >Talking of servers, the wiki >(spearfishlaketaleswiki.com) has been ailing for quite >some time.

[> [> Subject: Re: Speaking of servers (wiki) Author: Sam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:48:40 05/03/12 Thu I need beta-testers for the new server! It's spearfishlaketaleswiki.wikkii.net At some point in the future, we may be able to repoint the DNS so the old wiki name will work. Notes about the new server: 1. Character articles are now "First-Name Last-Name", but should be sorted in categories by last name, as before. 2. Existing users need to re-register, but if they use the same userid, they will "own" their user pages, their old contributions, etc. If you find any problems, or have suggestions, please let me know on the talk page, or by email, or here in the forum. Many thanks! >The issue is finding a hosting service that will >guarantee for Mediawiki to run correctly without them >charging an arm and a leg. > >I have been hosting the wiki on my domain via Network >Solutions.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Speaking of servers (wiki) Author: Sam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:35:53 05/04/12 Fri Glad it looks good! I found and fixed a few more artifacts of my changing the character names. I also cleaned up old links (e.g. Rocinante) and spiffed up a few things I wanted to for a while, but couldn't because of edit problems (or maybe the old version) on the old wiki. Thank you Wes, Kirby and Dang Fool for looking (and updating) the new version. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will work for a while. >Looks good.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Speaking of servers (wiki) Author: Wes [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:46:30 05/04/12 Fri Sam, you deserve thanks and recogniton for the potload of work you've already put into the new-look Wiki. I realize a lot of it was made up of things that had built up during the period that the old Wiki couldn't be updated, but still, when I look at the "recent changes" listing you've done an awful lot in a short time. Many thanks! -- Wes >Glad it looks good! >I found and fixed a few more artifacts of my changing >the character names.
