KeenWiki moving servers
Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that I am about to move the KeenWiki (actually everything on shikadi.net) over to a new server, so you may experience some issues over the coming week. Hopefully there won't be any downtime, but you may not be able to edit any pages for a day or so, depending on how quickly your ISP updates their DNS records. (If I've done it properly, no edits will be lost but you might see an error telling you the wiki is in read-only mode. If this happens you can try a Shift+Refresh to see if that bounces you over to the new server.)
In case you're curious, the wiki used to be hosted on a Linode, but it was getting a bit slow so I moved it to DreamHost almost five years ago. It's been there ever since, annoying me every time the server seemed to go down just as I wanted to work on it. Linode have long since upgraded their hosting plans, so I am moving it back there again as it should be much more reliable than DreamHost.

Thanks for the kind words! The move is complete now, so I'll give it a few days for everything to adjust and then I'll terminate the DreamHost account just before it renews at the start of October. Won't be sorry to see that one go

Although that's not news, shikadi.net is clearly a great source of information, along with actual data (e.g. downloadable apps.) Thanks for hosting and maintaining that place, the last migration being no exception!

The address becomes "devwiki" for those - replacing that with "keenwiki" gets you to where you want to go. It only happens to some links.Paramultart wrote:All the icons are gone, and links lead to "No input file specified".
I'd take a screeny, but I don't feel like it.

Oh sorry guys, I took a copy of the wiki to work on (trying to find the best way of presenting the 'most popular mods' list) and forgot that if both wikis share the same database the cached pages will get the wrong links in them!
I've wiped the page cache so hopefully you won't see any more broken links - if you do, Shift+Refresh should fix them.
