Hi,

yeah for some reason the db files where missing. In the end the type innodb/myisam got mixed up during the transition from mysql 4 to 4.1.

Its fixed for now, I dumped the db and re-imported it.

Please see this thread for more infos, what went on with the server:

Anybody have an idea or prognosis about the latest wiki server problems. it has been like this for 2 weeks.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

If the text of - an error's message is "too small", specifically - less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns - its own error message. You can turn that off, - but it's pretty tricky to find switch called - "smart error messages". That means, of course, - that short error messages are censored by default. - IIS always returns error messages that are long - enough to make Internet Explorer happy.

thx

Hi,

sorry upfront.

My BAD....


It was broken after trying to fight the wiki spamming...

Unfortunately it went broke this way. I will try to check for alternatives.

Cheers Onno

Hi,

Nova and PMB are informed about the Wiki.SPAM issue, I hope they can help :)

Re: Wiki
 
So do I. Since coming back up the spam attacks are doubling each day though I expect that the number may throttle back a little by mid week. Last summer the attacks came in brief waves on a lunar or seasonal cycle, this year they are a daily tidal force.

Thank you all your great work keeping this server going. Linux may be free but it is not free from headaches in my experience (and Debian gives some of the biggest ones).

Now what I want to know is who is fool enough to pay somebody to spam links in a unrelated private wiki for stuff nobody wants or trusts. If only we could follow the money...

Re: Wiki
 
Well the spammers are winning now. Even if I go in daily, 20+ pages will be full of spam for an average of 12 hours. And it would take 2 hours out of my week! So instead I will maintain my bot group's articles (fritzbot) and the main page as often as I can, and leave the other articles alone unless I have time on a weekend for a full clean. I suggest the other bot developers consider actively maintaining their own group's articles until a better solution is possible.

Re: Wiki
 
You need to disable non members editing shit. You're just asking for these problems when you allow anyone to edit.

Re: Wiki
 
Agreed, sadly. :(

Re: Wiki
 
Well today the spam bots made 3 attacks per hour roughly 6 times more than a month ago. :taz::cursing::censored:

If we can't keep them out I may soon have to start moving some articles to new pages (unless the spambots are choosing pages by following links!).

Re: Wiki
 
Make it members only, it's stupidly simple.

Re: Wiki
 
So is the 'council' really that dead that you are going to let the wiki get taken over by bots?

The Storm 03-10-2007 21:32
Re: Wiki
 
Actually the 'council' don't have rights to administrate the wiki. Only Nova, Onno and PMB have such rights I think.

Re: Wiki
 
So I guess the 3 guys capable of doing something about it are MIA ?

Re: Wiki
 
Hi,

I added a simple http-auth for the wiki subsomain.

Username: wiki
Password: nospam


this is just to make it usable again, this no real fix.

Again, please contact me, if you are interested in running the wiki subdomain at bots united.

I will be glad to setup the webhosting stuff for you :)
You should have some time per week for a longer time than 3 month :)


Cheers Onno

p.s. please spread the news regarding the passwort and the search for a new maintainer for thew wiki.

Re: Wiki
 
Thanks Onno. Your short term fix has passed it's first week with perfect results so I guess the spammers were only using spambots. I think I reverted all the affected articles so the wiki should be clean.

Is there any way to add a hint line to the user-password box?

TomTom 14-04-2008 00:28
Re: Wiki
 
For 5 months Onno's simple fix worked. But today I note an anonymous (193.216.207.101) vandal wiping out the main page. I will monitor it a bit then restore the page later.

Maybe it is time to think about changing the user-password.
