RE: Wiki Status
Just for a quick heads up...

A few days ago the host I'm using for for the wiki transferred servers. They had assured me that no updates would have to be made on my end (I wouldn't have to update my DNS settings or anything of that sort).

However, in the process of transfer, our IP got changed. I have since corrected this, however it has lead me to another issue. The wiki seems to have been broken.

I'm in the process of trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it. So unfortunately, for now, the wiki is offline. (If you try to visit it, you'll likely only see an error message.)

I'll update this when I have more info (or hopefully when I fix that problem).


Update (Dec 11th 2013 - 12:57AM):
After contacting the host via support ticket, it appears that during the server migration they had also been doing some heavy upgrades to the server... (Moving from Apache to Lightspeed, new anti-spam filters, new caching system to speed up requests, etc...)

So during these upgrades a setting got misconfigured and started overriding the permission settings for all the files (meaning the server couldn't see that they existed).

This has since been fixed and the wiki is back in baseline form... However, because they are upgrading the server and still making many changes the wiki may not be stable or usable just yet (even though it is online)... Since there may be some settings that need to be reconfigured or altered.
So for now it is advised that you don't try to make any changes/edits to the wiki right now. (It may not even let you make changes or they may not even be saved...)

Update (Dec 13th 2013 - 11:34 PM):
My support ticket with the web host has been put on hold (and has been on hold pretty much since the previous update). Though the wiki seems stable enough to resume editing, I would still save any works you want to post to it prior to hitting save... Just in case. (Just because the web server may still be undergoing some updates.)

Just to update this again, I've been looking through the wiki and noticed a few pages missing (likely due to the server move mentioned above).

I haven't had time to manually check every page (I looked through a fair number of them, including all the mavericks... and restored a few of them). So if you're looking through and come across a blank page just post a link about it here so I can fill it back in. (I have a copy of the wiki prior to the server move so I can easily restore any content that has been lost.)
