Default 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...

John.

Chances are everyone should be seeing the new server now....

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)

It gets past that point now, but clicking the button to upload the
image gives:

Internal error
Could not copy file "/tmp/phpkXS99e" to "/var/www/vhosts/

Thanks for working on this

Grunff has changed some permissions - see if that is any better.

(I did try dropping you an email earlier, but got a bounce with a
mailbox disabled error. Can you drop me a line with a working address?)
