thePlenty.net has moved! (was: PlentyWiki is down) - Mervi - Sep-30-2008
Apparently my host has updated something and it has crashed the wiki script. I'll try to figure out the best way to fix this as soon as possible. I should upgrade the wiki script anyway, but I've been waiting for an answer about getting a bigger/better hosting package before doing so, but they haven't answered yet. I have a feeling I might be looking for a new host soon...
Sorry for any inconvenience!
RE: PlentyWiki is down (Sept 30) - Mervi - Oct-01-2008
I contacted them (once their support pages started working again) and they have fixed the problem. Well, mostly. The wiki links on the main navigation keep looping back to the front page, so you have to use the actual wikilinks on the left side for now.
In any case, as I've mentioned elsewhere, we've run out of space and the bigger options my current host offers aren't too tempting, so I'm planning on switching hosts. I really don't like doing it because it will most likely result in things being down again, maybe even up to a week or so, but since I don't want to start deleting parts of this site permanently, we'll have to find more room to grow. I'll try to keep you guys updated as well as I can. In any case, you can continue editing the wiki at the moment.
RE: PlentyWiki is down (Sept 30) - Mervi - Oct-10-2008
It appears that at the moment ALL "outside" links to the wiki redirect to the main page. Including the wiki links from this forum, the main navigation AND for example links from search engines. *big sigh*
Well, I've chosen the new host and am waiting for response about the move from the old one. It should all happen during this October - keep all crossables crossed! After we've moved I should be able to do the rest of upgrading and fixing.

I can't sign in to the PlentyWiki. How long will it be down? I will forget all the edits I was going to make
RE: PlentyWiki is down (Sept 30) - Mervi - Oct-10-2008
I'm sure upgrading the script would solve the problems, but there's currently no space to do that! I've removed all non-critical files from the site (including wallpapers and other downloads) but we've still run out of space. And the hosting company seems to take their time progressing my transfer request...
I got an "out of office" email from them that seems to indicate the person responsible for the transfers should be back next Tuesday! I'm really sorry about this mess.
RE: PlentyWiki is down (Sept 30) - Mervi - Oct-13-2008
Good news! The transfer is finally in progress. I estimate that it will take up to a week until everything is back to normal and working at the new place.

First status update at the new server!
The forum is the first completely uploaded and ready-to-work part of the site. My internet connection is quite slow at its best and today it's also being disconnecting now and then so uploading things is frustratingly slow. But we'll get there!
RE: thePlenty.net is moving! (was: PlentyWiki is down) - Mervi - Oct-21-2008
The move is now more or less completed I guess.
I still haven't implemented the new layout to the wiki, but you can still use that part normally as well. Everything is now running on latest versions too. I'm also hoping to add a few more little snippets to the new front page later on. Let me know if you run into any dead ends, error messages or other problems, please!
