DF WIKI ADDRESS CHANGE
« on: February 18, 2010, 10:25:25 pm »

The wiki has moved from http://dwarffortresswiki.net to http://df.magmawiki.com
please update your bookmarks!

Why the move?
  • I don't control the dwarffortresswiki.net domain name, and my company is switching server colocation providers.  Thus, we have a new IP address.

It's so slow!
  • The database is not currently moved yet, only the website.  I'll be moving the database shortly (next day or two) and performance will be back up to par.
  • Database was moved successfully.

Will you have to lock the wiki from editing while you do this?
  • No.  A while back, I moved the dwarffortresswiki database to a replicated online failover system.  We'll be using this system to move the database over to the new server.

I see 503 / Page doesn't load!
  • I'm working on solving this.  Currently, I've set a forced restart every 3 minutes for the backend server that's failing and causing this as a stopgap until I figure out exactly why apache2 hates me.

My bookmark followed suit, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Although I'm using FF and so, can't speak for other browsers.

Direct links may have issues though, no idea.

Direct links still work, but I think that is because the redirect is very quick.  I should still update my bookmarks, just need to remember to do it after I run some errands. 

That reminds me, I have been meaning to add/overhaul some of the fortress defense and room design articles.  Much of them shouldn't be obsolete with the next update, but will need some tweaking.  I suspect maned(dwarfed?) point defense will actually be useful as opposed to merely a micromanagement nightmare.

Yeah this is completely broken right now.  Just about anything other than the homepage gives me a totally blank page.  (Using both Opera and Firefox)

Ditto. 502: Bad Gateway. Is this a server timeout?

I would be willing to buy dwarffortresswiki.org and give it to you if that would help.

Who owns .net?

It should start forwarding once godaddy gets their @#$% together.

If you want full control, I can point the NS at you, or after 30 days transfer the domain name(s) to you.

If you give me the CNAMEs you want, I can directly CNAME to you.

Nice.  That's a good choice of URL.

502 Bad Gateway is an HTML response code refers to a server error (as all 5xx response codes).  It means that the server is acting as a proxy or gateway and received a bad response from whatever its connecting to.

My system is being weird, it's alternating between 502 and 504 response codes.  A 504 Gateway Timeout just means that it still thinks the server is a gateway/proxy and the server it's trying to connect to took too long to respond.  It's similar to the 502 except that instead of a bad response, it just got not response.

Presumably, all of this means that there's a problem with the server the new site is on.  Hope that answers the question of what the error means.

http://dfwiki.net/ is live, the redirect at least, but the site is down.

Also available: http://dfwiki.org and http://dfwiki.info for no good reason.

Sorry about the downtime, I had a setting misconfigured on iptables (doh) which throttled traffic.  Fixing it right now.
