devries Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 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.

linux_learner Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) Works for me. Else try: http://devries.mandrivausers.org <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Crashdamage Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Works fine for me with Links or Firefox. linux_learner, you may have a problem at your end. DNS resolving, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 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.

aioshin Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I have some problem accessing it also, same with linux_learner.. though using the IP works but cant access those links... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just now, I was able to access http://devries.mandrivausers.org That link not worked for the last several hours until just a minute ago. So perhaps the update just got propagated to my ISP's DNS servers. Anyway, thanks devries, it's a terrific job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
