Revision as of 00:42, 24 September 2009

This page describes maintenance events on the Wiki server. This covers issues such as its hardware, software, connectivity and its location.

Minor issues such as brief reachability drops will be removed after one month to aid in archiving.

NOTE: All times are expressed in 24-hour notation, colloquially known as "military time".

System information

The DFO World Wiki is hosted on two servers. One runs the MediaWiki wiki software along with the PHP interpreter, memory cache software memcached, and Apache HTTP Server, facing the Internet. The other runs MySQL but does not have direct Internet access. Both servers run Canonical Ltd's Ubuntu Linux Server.

The servers are colocated at a datacenter located in northern Fresno, California, a few miles south of the border between Fresno and Madera counties.

System status

There are known issues elsewhere on the site which can directly impinge on the usability and availability of this wiki. As this wiki grows, the same issues will eventually affect this wiki more directly.

The only way to remedy this situation is to upgrade the entire machine to something that's much faster and has and can handle more memory.

For more details, please visit this page's counterpart on the Mabinogi wiki.

  • Due to application of an incorrect patch, then not backing out said patch in order to apply the correct patch, the wiki was down for about three days. The software was reinstalled with a fresh copy.
  • Applied the configuration from the Mabinogi World Wiki to this wiki so it has the same basic security profile as the former. Made appropriate adjustments both to the config file and to the software load so the two sites are as close to similarly-configured as possible.
