Wiki / FAQ changes
Grunff and I are in the process of shifting the wiki and FAQ to a new
server. Part of this change requires changes to the DNS records for the sites. As a result you may run into some access problems over the next 48 hours as the changes can take a little time to ripple through and be consistent for all users and ISPs. Also I would suggest you refrain from making any wiki changes for a couple of days, since you won't know if you are updating the new site or the old one - and changes to the old one will probably be lost since its database has already been copied over. Sorry for the inconvenience... -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I just get 'cant locate remote server' Make sure you are not trying to use "www.wiki.diyfaq.org.uk" - although that was never the proper address, it did work on the old setup. You need to use the real address now, which is: wiki.diyfaq.org.uk (i.e. no "www." on the front) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
