WLUG wiki site errors
by graham dixon 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi John, >From memory there were several - I do not recall others but one which is 100% reproducible is www.wlug.org.nz/rsh(1) and the ?nocache option is not making it work for me. (I may be applying that incorrectly.) As an extra piece of information - I notice this morning that the URL appears to be trying to draw the page for ssh when I was asking for rsh. Hope this helps. cheers Graham ===================================== Message: 2 Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:26:14 +1300 From: "John R.

It seems that a previous version of phpwiki has made some cached pages that the current version doesn't like, for some reason. If you can figure out the page again, try it again but add a "?nocache" argument to the url and let me know if that fixes it. If it does, then it's definitely a problem with phpwiki's own caching, and I guess we can just remove all the cached pages from the database...

An interesting switch to Ubuntu by the Gendarmerie http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iU4Lq7tOR_WVOJLZ3IeRaIH03x6w Perhaps not too surprising as the EU and Microsoft are not the best of buddies. Michael
