Comments on: Complexity Zoo is down — anyone willing to help? http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1082 The Blog of Scott Aaronson Sat, 25 May 2013 16:31:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Nick Black http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-76334 Nick Black Sun, 19 May 2013 21:36:05 +0000 http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-76334 When you say “moving over the material”, there’s three parts of moving a mediawiki install: the database, the config files, and the uploaded files (this assumes no changes to mediawiki itself). I’ve got a tutorial here: https://dank.qemfd.net/dankwiki /index.php/MediaWiki#Moving_a_wiki, with links to the manual entry on the topic.

I’m pretty well-informed regarding mediawiki maintenance (have been running blackwiki for ~6 years now), and a big fan of the Zoo. I see you have things up, but feel free to holla should you need any further info/help.

Is this supposed to be the official mirror?

I can find other mirrors, like the one at Uwaterloo (http://complexityzoo.uwaterloo.ca/), but which one is the official one? In what sense they are mirror? Do they actuall get synched?

I have to check with our admins but probably we can host a read-only copy of the Zoo on our servers in UofT. Can you keep a full up to date copy of the files (excluding sensitive information like passwords, etc) available online (say over ftp)? That can make the task of updating the mirrors easier.

That seems like the direction for multi-location wikis.

    Complexity Zoo had trouble scaling? I think there’s a joke in that somewhere

LOL! But the problem here wasn’t really one of scaling, just of ordinary, O(1) laziness and neglect on my part…

    Does he have bodyguards? Was there any trouble with fawning paparazzi (besides you)? Did he wear sunglasses and a wig when he met you. Did he tip the waitress at the restaurant well. Is he planning to start a quantum computing company? … Are we going to get an update and picture of your mom campaigning for Obama like last time?

No, no, no, we met in my office, not that I know of, and no. Sorry dude. :-)
