Hi, This is great! I have run a few tests and it looks like everything now works perfectly. I can edit pages with no problems now. One thing I would add for the DNS setup information is that I originally set up an A record to point to the wiki IP address of 184.168.221.25. This was the URL forward which did not work with editing, user creation, etc. I also tested the A record of wiki2 pointing to 217.116.232.203, but this failed and has been removed. Now that the wiki is fully functional and I have the backup scripts running, we just need to refine the MediaWiki settings. Oh, if you are an accepted relax developer and would like to set up cronjobs for backing up the wiki, just write a private email to Troels and myself to get the secret login details. One example is that I think that short URLs would be very useful (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL). So you should see the following URL changes: http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/index.php?title=Main_Page -> http://wiki.nmr-relax.com http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/index.php?title=Category:Tutorials -> http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Category:Tutorials http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/index.php?title=Tutorial_for_adding_relaxation_dispersion_models_to_relax -> http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Tutorial_for_adding_relaxation_dispersion_models_to_relax http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/index.php?title=Parameter_error_analysis -> http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Parameter_error_analysis This is the setup used for Wikipedia and lots of other wikis and is easier on the user. It is also better for linking purposes. A major benefit would be with search engines. The shortened URLs will make it much more friendly for users to find the wiki pages on the web. I am using the Google Webmaster Tools as well as Google Analytics to help optimise the relax webpages, and I can see that no pages have been indexed yet despite me sending a direct request to index http://wiki.nmr-relax.com and all nested links (back when this URL was working but there were DNS problems). I don't know if this is because of the long URLs, because of the original DNS problems or because of some other problem. If we set up the shortened URLs, I will use Webmaster Tools to get Google to fetch a number of pages on the wiki, and to also submit them to the Google index. This will make the wiki pages appear in Google searches (and then often in other search engines) sooner. Cheers, Edward On 19 July 2013 09:19, Troels Emtekær Linnet <tlinnet@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Dear relax developers. The relax wiki, has now finally found it's right place with the right name. http://wiki.nmr-relax.com The wiki was up and running 19 of July 2013. ---------- For further reference for developers ------- Since gna.org does not provide PHP and MySQL, (see https://gna.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=108 ) the wiki could not be hosted at gna.org. I have access to a webhotel, gigahost.dk, which have these services. It has been a little mystery, how to handle DNS settings, so the web page naming would be correct. The naming had to be: http://wiki.nmr-relax.com -------------------- For further references for future developers, the DNS setup is as follows. Note: 'A' records can only point to IP. 'CNAME' is aliases for A records. (Must have an A record somewhere), and can only point to domain names. ### A ###) At godaddy, the DNS server for nmr-relax.com, the settings are: 1) An URL forward for the naked domain nmr-relax.com to www.nmr-relax.com No frame, no wildcards. 2) A CNAME record for www -> home.gna.org (they have a setup, which then points to the SVN repository ''website' directory) Ref: https://gna.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=107 Ref: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax/website/ 3) A CNAME record for wiki.nmr-relax.com -> nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk ### B ###) At gratisdns.dk, the DNS server for kimlinnet.dk 1) An 'A' record for nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk -> 217.116.232.203 The request for wiki.nmr-relax.com will then be pointed to 217.116.232.203 for the directory www/wiki.nmr-relax.com/ (have to be positioned gigahost.dk). The request route can for example be seen by using: http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php Domain Type Class Result wiki.nmr-relax.com. CNAME IN nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk. nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk. A IN 217.116.232.203 At gigahost, I had to create the directory (create a domain without DNS) at www/wiki.nmr-relax.com/ And then it finally worked. :-) Note: The intermediate step at gratisdns.dk is probably not necessary. An 'A' record at godaddy could have been directly created to point to gigahost: Example: wiki.nmr-relax.com -> 217.116.232.203 But with this setup, I gain control to later point to another webhotel (if necessary), without the need to contact edward to change the godaddy DNS service. Best Troels Emtekær Linnet PhD student Copenhagen University SBiNLab, 3-0-41 Ole Maaloes Vej 5 2200 Copenhagen N ----------- Problems which had troubled this setup. ----------- Hopefully these notes save some time in the future for someone If you at godaddy DNS, make a URL forward (within a frame), then the name will always appear as http://wiki.nmr-relax.com and the generic name thing, will not work for user login, etc. Then you could put at: http://www.nmr-relax.com/wiki/index.html --------------- <frameset rows="100%"> <frame src="http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/"> </frameset> --------------- But that would just give the same behavior. Then you can make a .htaccess file http://www.nmr-relax.com/wiki/.htaccess --------------- RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/$1 [R=301,L] -------------- But then the address WILL change to http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk/, which was not wished. _______________________________________________ relax (http://www.nmr-relax.com) This is the relax-devel mailing list relax-devel@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, visit the list information page at https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/relax-devel
