That's a very good idea but not something I can implement since it must be done on minnow once the Swiki is shut down. Jochen, Mark: What Giovanni is getting at here is whether it is possible for minnow to report a 301 (Permanently Moved) reply pointing to http://wiki.squeak.org/ at least for http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/ once the content has been moved? By the way, is the intention to move just the /squeak/ section of the Swiki or the entire content?

I need Help (was Re: Squeak Wiki Problem)
by Ken Causey 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I have been debugging the reported problems accessing the wiki.squeak.org wiki for those behind a proxy. I have tracked it down to the implementation of HttpRequest>>initProxyForwarding in the image. It assumes that if an x-forwarded for header exists that it is a single IP address. This appears to be a poor assumption. For example: x-forwarded-for: 74.141.6.178, 62.90.138.162 I have not so far been able to track down documentation to confirm whether or not this is 'officially' valid. Nonetheless Swiki should probably not fail when this assumption is invalid. Ken

I believe you meant planetfr.squeak.org. Done. Ken On Sun, 2007-01-21 at 18:26 -0800, Simon Michael wrote: > I have unstuck the planets.

Re: Fwd: Swiki page deletion request
by Ken Causey 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

As far as I'm aware this no deletion of pages on Swiki, the concept simply does not exist. The general procedure is as Andrew has done to mark it for recycling at which point hopefully someone will reuse it for some other purpose. I checked the Google Cache and for now the cache still show's Brian's information but it does not show any links other then for Virginia Tech. And as far as I can tell there is no longer an entry for the old minnow URL. I think this is the best we can do.

Re: Swik -> box2?

Ok, the sites are now running under http://wiki.squeak.org/, which is what I recall we agreed upon earlier this year. I think you can setup the forwards now. box-admins - can you check and see whether everything is up to snuff? It's well past midnight over here so I might not be entirely fresh anymore (single malt scotch on friday night, y'know...) On 12/23/06, Jochen F.

Re: Squeak Wiki Problem
by Ken Causey 18 Jan '07

This is yet another problem. Thanks for the report. I am able to reproduce this and I suspect it is simply that we have missed something regarding the Apache configuration. Jochen: Any suggestions? Ken P.S. Interestingly enough I get a very similar error message [Wed Jan 17 17:57:08 2007] [error] [client 74.141.66.178] proxy: error reading status line from remote server 127.0.0.1, referer: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2432.upload [Wed Jan 17 17:57:08 2007] [error] [client 74.141.66.178] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /squeak/2432.upload, referer: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2432.upload when I attempt to upload to what we are seeing regarding the complaints from those attempting to access the site from behind a proxy. So maybe this is more related than I think. However I (and I assume David) can view the pages without any trouble whereas the others are reporting (I believe) a complete inability to access the site. In my research of the initial reports I found http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37770 which seems related. I noticed that there was a new version of Apache2 (still 2.0.54 but a new intra-Debian version) and installed it. But it seems that has had no effect. I will continue to investigate, but any help is appreciated. On Wed, 2007-01-17 at 05:59 -0500, David T.

resources for 3.10
by Ralph Johnson 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

The release team needs to get ftp access on a squeak.org machine so we can have an official place to put releases. (I have plenty of machines to use, but they will look like UIUC machines and not official squeak machines.) Edgar is probably the one who will be doing more of the administration, but I will do some, too. Also, we should probably edit some things at http://www.squeak.org/Releases How do we do that? -Ralph

Backup to FTP
by Marcus Denker 16 Jan '07

Hi, Maybe this could be interesting for backing up to the 50GB ftp space at hetzner: http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/features.html supports ftp... and does use the rsync algorithm, so it should be quite fast. Marcus
