I have started from scratch, made a new install in a different directory, and some errors have disappeared, but I still get errors when the bot tries to put the changes. I can't successfully make any changes at all. At first I thought it was the change I made to the family file (appended email below), but it's persisting without that change, on the new installation, so I I suspect that's a coincidence.<br>
<br>So, the errors I'm getting are of this form:<br><br>A) When I try to run redirect.py <br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">$ python redirect.py double -always <br>Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.<br>

<br>But when it tries to put the pages, I get the same error:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Waiting for 2 pages to be put.

After I changed the family file as suggested, it broke badly. I cannot successfully run a bot and save changes - this is even if I don't hit ctrl+C, of course! :) <br><br>I could reinstall the whole thing, go back and redo all the things I've forgotten when I first installed Pywikipedia, but is there a simpler way? I tried packing the latest nightly package into the directory, replacing existing files, but it's still broken.<br>
<br><br>Often it's a server error, but the site is running fine. Other commands access the server, but they all break when it comes to trying to put the changes. (Yes, I run "python login.py" before i start.)<br>
<br>Thanks in advance, and for all the help so far.<br><br>Chris<br><br>E.g. 1: using a file list and the "-always" parameter: <br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">$ python replace.py -excepttext:"[[appropriate technology organizations" -excepttext:"appropriate technology organizations]]" "appropriate technology organizations" "[[appropriate technology organizations]]" -always -file:files1.txt<br>

Sorry, only just saw that you'd already replied with a solution. Thanks Bryan - I'm trying it out.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Chris</font><div><br><br><br>

After looking in the code, you should add:<br><br>
def api_address(self):<br>
raise NotImplementedError<br><br>
in your family file.<br><br>
We should probably try to detect blocks on non api wikis as well.</blockquote><div> </div>
