CPCWiki online now on new server

[Gryzor]

No black list - it's a new domain after all! reCaptcha doesn't blacklist sites.

This problem is a weird one - it's been around for a while, but nobody has figured out a definite way to solve it!

So, people, listen up! (I've always wanted to say this ): I've disabled reCaptcha. If you recall, I had installed it because of increasing spam posts. If we start getting spam again, we'll battle it in other ways (I'll make it so we need to approve new users registrations).

So please, if you see any spam on the site, please PLEASE do report it here as soon as possible!

Thanks
Gryzor

Hi Gryzor

Hmmm... I don't know if it's spam related but it seems there is a problem showing pictures.. Eg. the new article about Magic Brush:

http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Magic_Brush

When clicking direct on the picture (In 'recent changes'... A list of errors is generated:

Code Select Expand

The script whose uid is 10363 is not allowed to access /var/www/vhosts/cpcwiki.eu/httpdocs/images/thumb/9/9a/Magic_brush_cover.jpg owned by uid 48 in /var/www/vhosts/cpcwiki.eu/httpdocs/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 236

Seems to be a permissions problem!!

Hopefully not to hard to correct

This is a known issue, it's been discussed elsewhere (but please don't take this wrong! The more bug reports, the better!). It's got to do with a stupidity in the server configuration, and the fix is on my to-do list.

The errors are there because I have left the debug php output on, since I'm still working on it. Hopefully a fix is forthcoming...

Ok, let's come to this, which is a bit connected to the original topic...

Hi all!

Today the last german CPC forum was closed! It was reachable at:
http://cpc-forum.de/

Now if you read what Kangaroo wrotes there, it's far away from reality.

1. As Octoate created the forum, Kangaroo offered to take it on his server for free. But soon Octoate got a big bill! Finally he was forced to give it up. And Kangaroo overtook the forum!

2. Kangaroo mentioned that nobody pays for the forum and the cpc-wiki. I offered him 100 Euro per month and he insulted me for this.

3. Kangaroo sayd, if somebody will be there as admin for the forum, he will let it continue. I offered my help, again he ignored me.

4. He deleted the complete forum content, so nobody can see the offers and discussions.

Ok guys, let's use the CPCWIKI forum instead. Not german, but international ;-)

@Gryzor: You have been asking for help with the CPC-Wiki. I offerd you two times me help, first you had holidays, then you told me to come to the Wiki-Forum.
Now I offer you a third time my help, so in which way I can help the wiki the most?

p.s.: The fetching preview function here doesn't work.

Hello TMF! Nice to see you here again

1.Indeed, what Kangaroo wrote and did is simply idiotic... I knew that there were people who offered to take over the forum, but I didn't know how it started. It sounds very much like the wiki case!

2.If nothing else, I don't get it why the projects should be on dedicated servers. It's not like we're running Google.com or something, I guess a shared server would do it! So the costs should never be so high - that was Kangaroo's decision alone.

4.I have a feeling he's bluffing, but then again the net result is the same, and it's really, really bad. There's absoluterly no good reason or excuse for this, other than being mean, very mean...

Now. Thanks again about offering your help. I'm currently facing a problem I'm a bit desperate about... You can read it over here: http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,138.msg2769 . In short, the host here has enabled PHP's safe mode, which causes problems with image uploading. And it seems that the safe mode workarounds fail, maybe because the host has other restrictions in place... got any idea?

Cheers
Gryzor

PS what fetching preview?

PS what fetching preview?

When you post something and you first want to check it as "Preview" it will not be shown 

[Gryzor]

testing... hm, it does work, but only with Quick Reply. I'll investigate...

Hello TMF! Nice to see you here again

Likewise and I like my new pseudo :-)

1. Indeed, what Kangaroo wrote and did is simply idiotic... I knew that there were people who offered to take over the forum, but I didn't know how it started. It sounds very much like the wiki case!

Yes indeed, you're right. Octoate told me the story recently; since he is a laid-back person he never talked about this in public. However, now the new "German" forum is integrated here - finally an advantage, as long as everything runs fine here. I hope it!!!

2. If nothing else, I don't get it why the projects should be on dedicated servers. It's not like we're running Google.com or something, I guess a shared server would do it! So the costs should never be so high - that was Kangaroo's decision alone.

I'm not so familiar with the technical specs like you are, but I totally agree. And as we see the new CPC-Wiki is running well. Did some edits today, had no problems at all. So the dedicated server was finally dedicated to make money. At the moment I'm also thinking about moving my three homepages away from cmo.

4. I have a feeling he's bluffing, but then again the net result is the same, and it's really, really bad. There's absolutely no good reason or excuse for this, other than being mean, very mean...

He tries to loose weight, maybe "no food" drives him crazy. I can't understand his way of acting at all. I can't see logic at all.

Now. Thanks again about offering your help. I'm currently facing a problem I'm a bit desperate about... You can read it over here: http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,138.msg2769 . In short, the host here has enabled PHP's safe mode, which causes problems with image uploading. And it seems that the safe mode workarounds fail, maybe because the host has other restrictions in place... got any idea?

I'll take a look...

PS what fetching preview?

I guess you already have been talking about this in the other answers ;-)

Soooo, Kanga our dear friend has auto-forwarder the CPC-related domains to a gay community...

I wonder what Kanga will think of next?

Nah, it won't surprise me, I think he's certainly lost it for good.

Btw, yesterday I recalled an old discussion we had somewhere here, it was an argument over article revisions I think, and he said: "Well, this is MY wiki, and blahblahblah"... I didn't like it back then, but didn't say anything. But what went on proves I was right not to like it...

[Octoate]

Ok, I guess, that there was now enough time to have both Wiki setups working to add missing articles from wiki.cpc-live.com to cpcwiki.eu. Can you please add a redirection with a .htaccess file to forward from wiki.cpc-live.com to cpcwiki.eu? If you search for the CPC Wiki, you will always get wiki.cpc-live.com in the first results.

[Devilmarkus]

Done...

[Octoate]

Great, thanks!
