I know we haven't been very active lately.

Just to let you know we are having some issues at the moment and editing is not possible ... will advise on the thread here when they are fixed.

Is the Wiki Down again/still?
I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error.

Have been getting it for a while.
Thought it would clear up.

Ahh.

Thanks for the info.

Good luck on the move. Just moving a couple of towns over or crossing a county line is a PITA, but moving everything you own to another country?
Well, let's just say I wouldn't do it.
Again, hope everything goes smooth.

I'd be happy to help out with getting the wiki back up. Feel free to PM me with the details!

HermitFromPluto wrote in Acaeum Wiki:Hi. Just sent you a PM.

Moving is complete. I am now living in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (moving the family was a much more challenging exercise than I had envisaged!). Should get into a more routine life for a while now. Perhaps I should try to write a Central Asian themed module!

Would love to see more central asian themed modules! I love The Horde setting and wish there were more material for it! Hope Tashkent is an adventure

It's still down. I volunteered to try to help bring it back up, but haven't been able to find the time. Maybe over the Christmas holidays

Mostly, someone with strong MySQL database skills.  The database is intact, but has large amounts of erroneous data that will need to be "pruned" out.  I believe that's all that is needed.

As of tonight, the Wiki has been restored:

The Acaeum Wiki

Special thanks to Arnaud for providing a valuable clue in getting things right.

What's not right: a lot. While the database appears to be okay, there's some random junk sprinkled around, that will probably take some elbow grease to iron out.  Everyone's wiki user account *should* be just fine, but I imagine everyone's forgotten their passwords.  I'll PM HermitFromPluto to see if he has any time to help out.

The biggest problem is that all the images (item scans/thumbnails) were lost.  I haven't checked to see if any of the past admins kept backups, but absent that, stuff will need to be re-uploaded.  My sincere apologies for that.

I also apologize for this Wiki being down for almost four years now.  I'd pretty much given up hope in restoring it, but decided to knuckle down tonight and try one more time.  It took five hours, but it's up.  As I was the one who originally broke it (by upgrading the underpinning server software), I felt responsible for fixing it.

Tired now -- headed to bed.  More to come.
