[geeklog-devel] wiki.geeklog.net mediawiki migration

Tue Sep 6 09:46:39 EDT 2016

Okay I have updated the CNAME record to point to serv3.thatlinuxbox.com.

Wiki.geeklog.net is still pointing to the other server for me at the moment I guess it will take a bit to propagate through the new domain changes.

I think leaving the other server up for a day or so should give it enough time.

@Michael I still plan on dealing with the wiki plugin in September but it will be mid Sept as I have a load of work to catch up on.

Thanks Guys

Tom

Emails from the new wiki server are working now, also.

There might be some SPF dns records that will need updating or something after the switchover to increase likelihood of message delivery.

It was permissions creating the php sessions file on the server.

Should be working now.

The other thing I thought of is the server sending emails which I will
look into next.
