This Might Be A Wiki:Flux Hosting Move

From This Might Be A Wiki

Back on FellowSites[edit]

Due to server problems and horrible support with the Flux Services host, we are back on FellowSites. The database was preserved, so any changes made while we were at Flux Services should be present. --Scott Redd 05:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

IRC[edit]

I get an internal server error (500) when i try to launch the IRC client: http://tmbw.net/irc --Duke33 03:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Update - Ok, I've fixed the error (http://cgiirc.org/docs/trouble.php), but now it's timing out. I'll have to check...perhaps the new server doesn't support NPH. --Duke33 14:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Memo to myself: A couple potential solutions to look into tonight: [1] / [2]

Favicon missing[edit]

The favicon of William Allen White's face that usually appears in the address bar is gone! Oh no! Extensive (not really) research has led me to the conclusion that it's still hosted on the Flux server. --WhatIsThatThing 14:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Weird Character[edit]

Various characters such as "Zoe" on The Else needs to be fixed in the db. --Duke33

Here's the fix: UPDATE text SET old_text=(REPLACE (old_text,'ë','ë')); Please report any other strange characters, here:
There's some more here. No clue what it was before. --badqueso 05:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Fatal error[edit]

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11136 bytes) in /home/tmbwwnet/public_html/wiki/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 165" Trying to access User:Lucretius. I believe he has a bunch of pictures on it from his flickr page so that might be the catalyst, maybe? --badqueso 07:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll look into it. Thanks --Duke33 14:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Fixed - I added "ini_set("memory_limit","50M");" to the beginning of LocalSettings.php, and it's fixed it. If it pops up again on anyone else's page, let me know.--Duke33 14:29, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
