Can't create account on wiki

James McKinney — 2013-05-13T02:51:57

If I go to http://wiki.okfn.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup

I see "Account creation from this IP address (46.51.189.76) has been blocked by Harry Wood."

However, that is not my IP. Maybe a weird caching bug?

James

Fixed http://okfn.org/local/

Rufus Pollock — 2013-05-01T17:21:26

Hi All,

Some folks had reported issues with map on http://okfn.org/local/

This has been tracked down to combination of: new chrome version, use
of raw.github.com urls to load js files and github's use of nosniff
header.

In general we should not load js from raw.github.com as it is not a
CDN but I had been doing this as a convenience during development and
this had crept into production :-/

I've changed the url to gh-pages location:

<http://okfnlabs.org/recline.backend.gdocs/backend.gdocs.js>

And everything is now working, hurrah!

Rufus

How to tame wordpress?

Michael Bauer — 2013-04-02T13:01:05

Hi,

I like to put straight html into wordpress (this allows for nice stuff
like: http://schoolofdata.org/online-resources/) unfortunately it still
insists on beeing clever and inserts random <p> tags into my layout - thus
resulting in incorrect parsing and display by browsers. Is there any way to
tell wordpress this is html - don't touch it?

Michael

Important: HTML tags being removed on OKFN sites

Everton Zanella Alvarenga — 2013-03-02T13:40:04

Please, who can check this bug I just reported?

http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/1404

I just fixed a link to the open definition now at this page
http://okfn.org/opendata/ and realised the bug is worst than I
thought. It also removed all images tags, not only the featured image
tag (which is a HTML comment).

I believe it could also help if we had a revision control of OKFN
blogs pages and posts. I am not sure which plugin is best

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/version-control

Please, if someone can help me to restore the original images, I'll be thankful.

P. S. I was navigating in this page and thinking a way to have it in
other languages. Not sure if we can have a more practical way other
than only copy and paste.

OKFN mailman server slow to deliver e-mails?

Everton Zanella Alvarenga — 2013-01-19T13:48:07

Hi,

is it my impression or it is taking a long time to OKFN mailman
servers to deliver e-mails? I was suspicious about that, but now I
made a small test that maybe confirmed this. I sent an e-mail to
okfn-br and open-government mainling lists and it took about 1 hour to
arrive on my mail box. I saw the archive and the e-mail was already
archive.

These days I sent a news to open-science (I check before if someone
had sent, but I saw nothing) that was already sent by my brother -
actually, he told me the news we both shared.

Just pointing this out in case someone perceived something similar.

Tom

Mention more explicitly CC-by on OKFn sites

Everton Zanella Alvarenga — 2012-11-08T11:12:37

Hi,

I've circulated this blog post yesterday
<http://openglam.org/2012/11/07/culture-must-always-be-a-commons/> and
a friend pointed out that there is no mention to the content license.
I also noticed that our main site just mention it here
<http://okfn.org/terms-of-use/#what-we-do-with-your-content>.

Wouldn't be better to have the CC-by license more explicitly on all pages?

Best,

Tom

Re-CAPTCHA on local OKFn site

Everton Zanella Alvarenga — 2012-11-07T03:42:14

Hi,

does someone here know how to activate the Re-CAPTCHA on a local OKFn
site? I've activated it, but only the SI CAPTCHA appears.

Thanks!

Tom

Hi!

A friend just pointed out to me that
http://notebook.okfn.org/2012/10/02/week-ahead-nigel-babu/ ends up with a
403.  This similar to the error Michael saw on okfn.org on Monday and I

error seems intermittent and the links start working after a while
automatically.

Cheers

The search on ckan.org is not working - it does not find any pages no
matter what you search for.

Buddypress Bar

I see the Buddypres bar has disappeared from our sites. Is this a concious
and permanent move? If so I shall make the appropriate changes to our theme.

Problem with OKF Japan Website - Homepage and Pages NotViewable

Kat Braybrooke — 2012-09-03T12:24:01

Hello OKF Sysadmin / Help teams,

We're experiencing a major problem with the OKF Japan website and its
permalinks - neither the homepage (jp.okfn.org) nor any internal
pages/posts are viewable - and we also can't view them in the back-end of
the site either once they've been published. This problem first occurred
around the time of the server transfers, so if someone can help us, it'd be
very much appreciated!

Pages:

While several pages have been created, there is no way to view them either
via permalink or Published Pages (for example, going to
http://jp.okfn.orggives us a message stating the page does not exist).

Posts:

Posts also do not show up once published. For example, when I just created
the post 'test' under 'Posts', it said it published, and gave me the
following post URL: http://jp.okfn.org/2012/09/03/test/ However, when I go
to this URL, it says the page is not found, and I cannot find the post
anywhere in the back-end of Wordpress - nor can I find any of the other
published posts.

I've tried searching through the back-end permalinks and other settings
pages to see how to fix this, but am at a loss.

Thanks very much in advance,

Kat

Big problem with okfestival blog domain permalinks

Kat Braybrooke — 2012-08-20T10:38:33

Hi guys,

We have a problem with the okfestival.org blog domain - for some reason,
whenever we try to create a new page (as of this morning and late last
night) the domain permalink starts with okfestival.okfn.org/ (*instead of*
okfestival.org/ <- the correct domain). This is causing redirect problems
(ie, no one can go to any of the new pages) and is a major problem for
several people trying to create new pages today on OKFestival.org.

Sorry to be a pain, but the OKFest team is currently trying to create 60+
pages for invididual sessions at the festival, all of which need to be
finished for public use by the end of this week.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried to empty the site cache
already, and change permalinks manually, but the okfn.org addition remains.

Thanks,
Kat

Migration of okfnpad.org tonight

Nils Toedtmann — 2012-08-14T12:42:23

Hi *,

we will migrate our okfnpad.org to a new machine tonight. We will start
the migration around 19:00BST and hope to be done within a few hours. If
all goes well, there will be a brief downtime some time 20-21BST. No
data will be lost.

Regards  /nils.


PS: Last time we migrated the okfnpad, Etherpad had reset all passwords
(it had changed the password storage mechanism, that wasn't docuemnted)
- fingers crossed it doesn't happen again ;-)

Migration of DNS

Nils Toedtmann — 2012-08-03T17:33:56

Hi *,

i will now attempt to migrate our DNS service. The migration is tracked
here:

  http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/1279

This migration should not cause any interruption of services. But if you
experience a problem tonight *and* have a reason to assume the issue is
DNS related, let me know.


Just in case, my mobile phone number is +49 170 3818936.

Migration of the OKFN blogfarm to Page.ly on Wednesday;blog issues

Nils Toedtmann — 2012-08-03T16:45:03

Hi *,

Bobby and i will migrate our Wordpress blog farm (s053.okserver.org aka
blogfarm.okserver.org aka *.okfn.org) to the dedicated wordpress
provider Page.ly on

  Wednesday, August 8th

starting after 14:00 BST. The blog sites should be available mostly, but
they will be in read-only mode for some time. Progress of the migration
will be tracked here

    http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/1281


We will reset all passwords during the migration. You might want to
check your blog profile *now* that it has your correct mail address, so
you can retrieve a new password afterwards.


###


FYI: We have been fighting a number of issues with our blog farm
recently. They will hopefully be resolved with the migration, or shortly
after:

 * Our database server is suffering from a daily load peak around 17-18h
BST. This slows down th eblog farm.

 * Public domain review had gone viral and attracted unprecedented
amounts of traffic

 * A security incident has forced us to upgrade and stricten permission
settings, which had some side effects on functionality.


We will inform you when the migration is done and the blog farm is in
production mode again. If you find issues thereafter, let us know, e.g.
on IRC (#okfn on FreeNode).


Cheers /nils.

OKFN Homepage Content

Sam Smith — 2012-08-03T11:59:51

Hi Sam

Just spoke to Rufus about the homepage, as discussed here
https://github.com/okfn/okfn.org/issues/3 he suggested that you and I and
possibly Rufus have a call to discuss it further. Let me know when might be
a good time to do so.

Emergency wordpress update - please check your sites

Nils Toedtmann — 2012-07-24T17:37:20

Hello *,

because of a security incident we had to and upgrade our blog farm to
the latest wordpress version and tighten file permissions.

If you maintain a wordpress blog site on our OKFN blog farm, please
check that your blog (in particular its theme and plugins) is working as
expected. Let us know if not.

Thx to Bobby Donovan for sorting this out on such short notice.

Kudos to Nick Stenning as well. He had put the farm under git control
some time ago, and that allowed us today to revert bad changes pretty
easily.

There is a small change the vulnerability is in a bad plugin/theme, in
which case the vulnerability is still present. But we think the now
tighter file permissions will prevent this from happening again.

/nils.
