The Wiki is Down

Natalya and I were fucking with the PHP today and apparently broke the wiki. I've switched the PHP back to its previous version to see if it would fix things, but it looks like the wiki is down for the time being.

EDIT: Looks like the downgrade worked, the wiki is back up.

What is our wiki software?

It started out as standard mediawiki, but we've done a lot of code modification behind the scenes, so now it and everything else here is a horrible bastard spaghetti hack.

Nope, I just reverted everything to how it was before.

I did want to add some supplemental info into the wiki for my forum 14 soap but I guess it's ok. Maybe I can hire nimja to do it for me.

I downgraded back down to 5.3. I'll have to wait to do the upgrade until we have a weekend free to test and rewrite all the backend code that's screwing up.

Right now 5.4 knocks the wiki out entirely, and messes up the forums a fair amount. The Wordpress install seems to handle it just fine.

Is it 5.3 or 5.3.something ?

Also, the wiki software needs to be updated, that's why it can't handle 5.4. I bet if you update that then going to 5.4 will be fine. I would do it myself but it recommends a db backup first.

I can't do an automatic update until I have time to rewrite all the custom code that's on top of it.

Just 5.3 as far as I can see, but the admin tool doesn't list any point-anythings in the PHP install options.

If you make a new php page and put

Code: Select all

<?php

phpinfo();

?>
then open that page, you can see all your php settings including the exact version.

By the way thanks for reminding me to update my local php version for once in my life

Dang it Blitzen, always making me look dumb.

Anyway it looks like we're running on PHP Version 5.3.24. I can send you the link to the full info page if you need it.
