Metapedia: Scheduled downtime

**Daniel F.** · 2011-01-12, 11:08

For performance and security reasons, we have decided to perform a server migration of all our Metapedia sections starting this evening at 22.00 (CET).

Due to the size and complexity of the Metapedia project, we estimate this could possibly take as long as 72 hours, during which all Metapedia sections will unfortunately be offline.

Thank you for your understanding.

I can not edit some Articles e.g. 17. Januar, 18. Januar, 22. Januar, 23. Januar. In my mind it is a problem with the date. Have a look at the history of 23. Januar: http://de.metapedia.org/w/index.php?...action=history It seemed to be edited at 23. January by two users. But therefore the 23. January is in the future the program does not accept edits before that date.

Upps.. We have 2011 already. What can be the problem that these articles are not editable?

**Rauhreif** · 2011-01-18, 14:29

The problem has been located. Only the picture size can not be changed within these articles:
*http://de.metapedia.org/wiki/17._Januar
*http://de.metapedia.org/wiki/22._Januar
*http://de.metapedia.org/wiki/23._Januar
But here the change of the picture size was done without any problems:
*http://de.metapedia.org/w/index.php?...v&oldid=234914
*http://de.metapedia.org/w/index.php?...v&oldid=234918

Image-Upload is not possible at the german section.
Upload is possible but there is no preview and it can not be embedded.
No preview at the new-files page: http://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Neue_Dateien

Image upload isn't possible at the swedish metapedia either.

@Riksmarskalk :-)
Thank you for the hint. We have to wait now until the problem is solved.

**Rauhreif** · 2011-01-20, 00:18

At last: "framed" is possible. Only the thumb-preview which needs the cooperation with the preview function does not work. The old files are not affected if the preview will not be changed.

**mms** · 2011-01-20, 23:22

There are other functions which do not work anymore. I can't see (load) some articles if I'm logged in. For example: Wiesel, Elie. And there is another phenomena with the article Conti, Leonardo (NSDAP). I can load the article, edit it, but I can't submit the changed version.

We can upload images, however, thumb form or any kind of scaling is not possible, and therefore images do not work in templates, also. A simple viewing of an image is also not possible.

**Rauhreif** · 2011-01-23, 21:07

Some Images can be scaled yet: http://de.metapedia.org/w/index.php?...9&oldid=237488
Most of them can not. Maybe it is a memory problem: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual...Administration

We all wait for a solution very impatient, because the Metapedia is not very usable. :-)
