Sun, 17 Aug 2008 07:28:11 +0000 tsangk 47197 I have configured Wikidot 1 on the virtual machine fine and i am working on configureing Wikidot 2. I know it is not ready for the end-user but i just wanted to look. I downloaded the latest repo from your svn server and shared the folder. I navigated to http://wikidot2.dev/ and there was an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Wikidot_Exception_Php_Warning' with message 'pg_connect() [<a href='function.pg-connect'>function.pg-connect</a>]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host &quot;192.168.17.129&quot; and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5433?' in /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/misc/setup.php:92 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: wikidot_error_handler(2, 'pg_connect() [<…', '/wikidot/www/wi…', 74, Array) #1 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot/Db/Connection/Pg.php(74): pg_connect('host='192.168.1…') #2 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot/Db.php(60): Wikidot_Db_Connection_Pg->__construct(Array) #3 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot/Db.php(83): Wikidot_Db::factory('pg', Array) #4 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot/Db.php(103): Wikidot_Db::init() #5 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot.php(140): Wikidot_Db::connection(NULL) #6 /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/class/Wikidot/Core/Api.php(139): Wikidot::database() # in /wikidot/www/wikidot2/php/misc/setup.php on line 92

That was alright. It says PHP errors were fine. Then I continued to the next step of ant generate-site.

A load of errors came up.

Please help me!!

Works without problems, the apache is also available for my native host after enabling port forwarding as described in the Vbox help. Note that ping does not work and that is no error.

though, accessing the / site gave me just

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 8080

(port 8080 is forwarded to 80)

i thought this is a ready to run image? :/

after inspecting the logs it seems that it accesses the file /wikidot/www/wikidot1/web and that the file does not exist

oh and btw, why is there alsa installed?!
i could setup a virtual debian server for vbox with all configs done

edit: ok i should read more : 5. Before you launch it look at the settings and configure the Shared Folders — "wikidot1" or "wikidot2" must point to the locations where you have a working copy of Wikidot.

so nm that, going to try that now

—Ano

Fri, 02 May 2008 23:06:33 +0000 David Drascic 113763 I'm hoping to have a chance to try out the virtual machine package of the wikidot server, but I'm not having any luck.

I downloaded the VM as required, and got what I think is a clean copy, tho it took several tries

  • wikidot-dev2-vm-20080220.tar.gz (603,068 KB, or 617,540,980 bytes)

I tried using PowerArchiver and TUGZip, but neither was able to decompress everything for some reason. Neither generated errors, tho. By merging the two uncompressed versions, I was able to get a VM that booted up, but apache failed during startup, and the /wikidot/…/wikidot1 and wikidot2 directories were empty.

When I tried to shut down the VM, I kept getting an error: "Must be root", but I do not know what the root password is. It isn't "wdadmin", as it is for the wdadmin account. I had to force a "power-failure" shutdown in WMWare Player just to turn the VM off.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David.

How come the wikidot service is free? I wonder who pays the bills.. or does wikidot sell Pro-wiki's for corporations?

Perhaps the virtual-machine page could mention which VM version this was exported from;
I was not able to open it in VM-Player 1.0.4 or 1.0.5.

I'd rather not use the WM-Player 2.0 Beta because it might disturb other VM's on this hardware!

If I were to move V1 Wikidot to another hosting server that has PHP 5.2.x, are the bugs you fixed listed in one of the changelog? Were there workarounds in the code base for some or all of the PHP bugs?

I know V2 is taking lots of cycles and it may be that the bugs you refer to only show up in V2 Wikidot; only PHP bugs related to V1 are of current interest to me. Any pointers would be appreciated.

]]> http://dev.wikidot.org/forum/t-43643 Staging and Production Servers http://dev.wikidot.org/forum/t-43643/staging-and-production-servers Testing before overwriting production wikidot server. Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:09:14 +0000 Jerry Schneider 59278 Currently on Wikidot1, I have to edit the "live" pages, and if there are lots of interacting changes, sometimes it leaves the site in an inconsistent state for visitors. I'm used to having a staging server that holds the pre-production version, and when things on the staging server are working well, I throw the switch (well, actually someone pauses the server, copies the file paths from the staging server to the production server, and restarts the production server.)

Any thoughts on doing a similar operation on Wikidot, either 1 or 2? One site I know of uses port 8080 for staging and 80 for production, while another has two URLs, one for each type.

If there were a quick "restore from zip" mode, I could zip the staging WD server and restore the zip to the main WD server, after first clearing it (deleting it?). Something that doesn't involve requests to the WD admin so I can roll forward/roll back as needed.

Thoughts, suggestions. WD2 solution already in the works?

TIA

I'm interested in helping in any way I can. I have some skill in web development and have dabbled in PHP and some MySQL, but databases are definitely not my strong area. I'm a skilled Windows user and a total beginner with all things Linux. I love being on the "cutting edge" and can help by beta testing new features. I have extra equipment at home that I can load up as a test environment and can help with documentation.

By day, I'm an IT Manager for a chain of restaurants in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area and my primary role is development and training of applications specific to our point of sale (cash register) system. We are on the verge of rolling out a Wikidot 1 site for housing a number of things, including our 300+ page Operations Manual.

I'm very excited at the prospects of Wikidot 2!

-Ed
