MandrivaUsers Wiki

Recommended Posts

I've been playing around a bit with some wiki software to see how it would work. I thought it would be a nice idea to have the info in the tips and tricks and faq forum ordered in a more accesible way. There fore I'm going to copy and paste large parts of it to the wiki. If anyone wants to lent a hand the password to edit stuff is mandriva and if anyone has other ideas for the wiki feel free to air them here. Basically this is an experiment and i want to see what is possible.

 

The link to the wiki is: http://devries.mandrivausers.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php

 

 

Have fun.

devries, that was little help since its not the finding the location on the server.

 

Server not found

 

     

Firefox can't find the server at devries.mandrivausers.org. 

       

 

 

    *  Check the address for typing errors such as

          ww.example.com instead of

          www.example.com

 

    *  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

          connection.

 

    *  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

 

no, i dont have or use a proxy. all other pages are fine.

 

yall ever think that maybe its a permissions problem? obviously i can connect to the mandrivausers.org server just fine. so connection isnt the problem. i suspect permissions. see, everyone of you that responded, other than me, are admins and mods, therefore having permission to view content that others of us can not.

 

devries, a mod, set it up, can view it, mystified is an admin can view it, and soulse, is also a mod and can view it. please check the permissions.

Works fine for me with Links or Firefox.  linux_learner, you may have a problem at your end.  DNS resolving, maybe?

 

 

nope. not that. if it works fine for you, and not me, then i dont know what the prob is. my dns resolution is fine.

 

> ping devries.mandrivausers.org

ping: unknown host devries.mandrivausers.org

 

> ping mandrivausers.org

PING mandrivausers.org (83.245.15.165) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from kwh.kernow-gb.com (83.245.15.165): icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=141 ms

64 bytes from kwh.kernow-gb.com (83.245.15.165): icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=153 ms

64 bytes from kwh.kernow-gb.com (83.245.15.165): icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=152 ms

 

btw, i tried clicking on the links in firefox.

 

i have since tried konqueror as well.

 

in mozilla i get http://www.google.com/search?q=devries.man...=utf-8&oe=utf-8

 

even google isnt finding it.

the link is working fine for me also.

 

it's possible that the DNS entry hasn't fully propogated.  How long has devries.mandrivausers.org existed for?  The actual URL address, that is.

 

linux_learner: try http://www.mandrivausers.org/devries

 

 

i tried clicking on that and it rerouted me to, http://devries.mandrivausers.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php

 

let me try the ip address plz.

Link works fine on my box, too. Devries, how about a "disaster recovery" section link in the Wiki menu on the left side, below "configuration"? Would be nice to have everything for recovering partitions, repairing broken system, retrieving erased data etc. placed in one central area imho.
