Enconding Problems with Webalizer
by Thomas Corell 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Hello Host-Admins, the de.wiki stats (webalizer) showing no German öäü's. Instead it shows some with space or whatever. I have running Webalizer at home and put a Page online with ä to test it, and my webalizer can handle ä's properly. http://corell.dyndns.org/stats/usage_200307.html#HOURSTATS (home) My possibilies run out, it's your task to take a look at our wikipedia host and fix the displaying of webalizer. Thanks. PS: This problem was presented by german wikipedia users to me. -- Smurf smurf(a)AdamAnt.mud.de ------------------------- Anthill inside! ---------------------------

We're confused. We're confused. We're confused. tryFileCache() - not cacheable
by e4c5 24 Jul '03

Hello Everyone, Thank you for the wonderfull work this community is doing. I recently did an install of wikipedia and ran into an issue which is not addressed in the archives of this list. Certain pages (for example biology) turn out to be blank. An examination of the logs reveal this rather cryptic message: -- We're confused. tryFileCache() - not cacheable -- I am using php 4.3.2 and i have changed the register_globals to on I tried commenting out the caching functionality to no avail. Has anyone run into this problem before? thanx and best regards Raditha Dissanayake http://www.raditha.com

Small change in "print page" template request
by Daniel Mayer 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Maybe this would be better posted at SourceForge but .... The current print page function is real neat but at the bottom of pages there is no link or even mention of GNU FDL. And the url of the Wikipedia page is not an active link. This is an issue for anybody wanting a clean HTML version of one of our articles. Recently a copy of such an article was found here: http://www.uwm.edu/~okun/341/set12.htm It would be nice if people could copy the source HTML of our printable versions and not have to add anything in order to comply with our license. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)

Opera fullscreen css bug
by Tomasz Wegrzanowski 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Opera uses media=projection for fullscreen. It's rather unfortunate choice, but we have to live with it. Now Wikipedia doesn't display correctly under Opera fullscreen. I have commited to CVS patch that fixes this problem, by changing media='screen' to media='screen,projection'. There's no need to do any serious testing. Now how to upgrade all Wikipedias with this new procedure ?

BitTorrent for db dumps?
by Daniel Mayer 24 Jul '03

Tomasz Wegrzanowski wrote: >We have plenty of bandwidth on wikipedia.org, For now at least. But the various Wikimedia projects are together creating new pages at an exponential rate that are in turn being viewed by an exponentially increasing number of readers. We have been very fortunate to have a bandwidth sugar daddy (hi Jimbo!) so far but we should not assume that Bomis will be able to foot the bill when our popularity (measured in hits/bandwidth consumption) becomes comparable to websites like Slashdot.org or even Yahoo.com. At some point we are going to have to economize our bandwidth usage. BitTorrent is one of those possibilities (mirrors are another) and IMO it is better to start thinking about this now rather than when bandwidth gets more limited. I have, however, no opinion on this particular technology though. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)

BitTorrent to reduce server load?
by Magnus Manske 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Found this on SourceForge: http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ Would that work with our up-to-the-second articles, or is it for large, static files only?

wikidev group on server
by Tomasz Wegrzanowski 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Lot of files are set g-w on server, so the fact they are owned by wikidev doesn't help any. 1. Please, everyone, modify your umask from 022 to 002. 2. Could someone with root account modify all wikidev files on both servers to g+w (except maybe in /home)

new global usage stat
by Hunter Peress 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

I know that page hits were turned off. The same argument could be made for my idea, but who knows. I discussed with brion once in IRC that id be interested in seeing some type of statistic gathered for who is using wikipedia ,eg like "hfastedge, BrionVibber.... are online right now". Brion raised privacy concerns , which is fine. Still, im very frustrated without some type of statistic. As a simple compromise, I want to record : (simply numbers, not names): how many people have used wiki over the last day, month , year. This is a good statistic to have and a natural question to ask when you look at this data: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics if its ok (from a hardware perspective) i'll go an write the patch. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
