Custom domain

Please run "deleteArchivedFiles.php" on https://right.orain.org . I deleted 2600 images, that exist on common, and expect to save with that 0.6...1GB space. Thank you in advance, Fiala1 (talk) 19:45, 5 February 2015 (GMT)

Is it possible to get (for payment) an own url (like for example rightpedia.org)? We would pay for that, name registration price is about 13 euro/year. If you do not want to handle that, I could register the name, but you had to setup the server to handle that. Would you do any of the above? Fiala1 (talk) 09:42, 15 February 2015 (GMT)

You only have to buy the domain name (and assign its nameservers to ns1.orain.org and ns2.orain.org), and we'll setup the rest. Southparkfan (talk) 09:48, 15 February 2015 (GMT)

It seems to be the case, that registration and hosting are usually combined. Could you handle a name registration for us? I have now a name somewhere and it costs 13 euro/year. We could offer that amount for this purpose. The name we'd like is rightpedia.org, rightpedia.info, rightpedia.com, rightpedia.us or rightpedia.co.uk, in this order.

You only need to buy the domain name - our servers will "host" it. Orain uses Namecheap, but you are not required to use them. Orain does not handle domain name registrations. Southparkfan (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2015 (GMT)

Login problem

Hi there, the following login problem occurs with my wiki: if I browse to my wikis sub-domain ufoi.orain.org and try to login, I always get redirected to the "no permission" site. The only way to access my wiki is to browse to orain.org, log in and then browse my wikis sub-domain.

Hi there! By no permission site do you mean the page 'https://ufoi.orain.org/wiki/Special:CentralLogin/complete?token=XXX' ? ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 11:02, 6 April 2015 (BST)

Exactly. By the way: it seems to be the same problem as reported on the Stewards' noticeboard, topics "Permissions on bibbia2000.orain.org" and "Login namuh.orain.org". --Tampere (talk) 12:12, 6 April 2015 (BST)

Okay! Basically it looks like we just need to give anon access to Special:CentralLogin to allow people to login! *adds it to the todo list* ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 13:24, 6 April 2015 (BST)

Interesting, per this line I would have thought that these should be no issue, *keeps digging* ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 13:52, 6 April 2015 (BST)

Any news about this issue? --Tampere (talk) 18:55, 10 May 2015 (BST)

Do you still get the issue now? Southparkfan (talk) 19:18, 10 May 2015 (BST)

Yes, still the same. --Tampere (talk) 20:07, 10 May 2015 (BST)

Abuse Filter / blank pages

@Southparkfan:/@Addshore: We've talked about this before but I figured I should log it in the tech spot. Again just confirmed the issue with 'blank pages' with abuse filter. Triggering the abuse filter is the only time I've ever seen the issue. I tripped Special:AbuseFilter/1 @ quantixhl2rpwiki and the page was just completely blank. As soon as I changed the filter so I didn't trip it, the page loaded. I think SPF previously said it was a HHVM issue? Dunno.. sucks tho :( NDKilla (talk) 17:36, 19 May 2015 (BST)

Downtime this morning (20 May 2015)

There was some downtime this morning caused by a large spike in traffic, probable DDOS, which out current host Digital Ocean dealt with by stopping traffic to our servers for a period of time. Sorry for any inconveniences caused. ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 11:17, 20 May 2015 (BST)

@Addshore: The wiki still is reachable over IPv6 but still unreachable over IPv4.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:29, 20 May 2015 (BST)

The file linking to Wikimedia Commons no longer works.

Articles themselves are showing up with the images as red links where once they had commons images. I purge the articles a couple times. I go to the images and the images aren't there. I purge the images a couple times. Still nothing.

For example, I picked two random Wikimedia Commons images:

I can't replicate the issue. All the links you said don't work, work. At least on meta and rightwiki. Individual wikis can have commons linking disabled, but it's enabled by default, and those were working. The issue may have been indirectly caused by the issues Orain has been having at a whole for the last several days, but right now those links work. Cheers, NDKilla (talk) 13:37, 25 May 2015 (BST)

This was fixed several days ago. Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 13:51, 25 May 2015 (BST)

Recent Downtime

Hi all! As you have probably noticed we have been having some issues recently! Please see here for the initial write up. More details to come, essentially, we were being DDoSed... the DDoS should no longer effect services. ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 13:16, 29 May 2015 (BST)
