Echo Bug
Page: Echo and Arcane Echo

Problem: When I try to access either Echo page, I get this message:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /wiki/Arcane_Echo on this server. Apache/2.0.55 (FreeBSD) PHP/5.0.5 Server at www.guildwiki.org Port 80

Submitted By: 68.253.211.16 21:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC).

Hint: This may be an issue with the webserver configuration not with the wiki itself, as the error occurs with any URL that contains the word 'echo' like http://www.guildwiki.org/thisdoesnotexist/echo while any other URL (e.g. http://www.guildwiki.org/thisdoesnotexist/ocho) results in the usual 404 (not found) instead of the above mentioned 403 (forbidden) --Si Tacuisses 09:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Upload Bug
Page: Special:Upload

Problem: When uploading some files (usually with somewhat long file names (10+ characters)) I get this message: Could not copy file "/home/zeroliv/tmp/phpRAR4o6" to "/usr/home/0chroot/zeroliv/home/zeroliv/public_html/guildwars/images/0/06/BogSkaleBlighter.jpg".

Comments: Seems to happen every time I try to upload the file "BogSkaleBlighter.jpg" with another file that was having the same problem I managed to upload it by shortening the file name.

Notes: I can not confirm that this has to do with file name length. This bug seems to happen randomly to me, with short and long file names alike. --Tetris L 01:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Image loss
Page: Some images

Problem: Ok, some of the images that were in the wiki have been lost. Their filenames are there, but they are gone. As an example, check out Necrid Horseman and the image Image:Necrid_Horseman.JPG. I know I uploaded this image a few days ago and it shows it in the logs, but the image is poof, gone. The same for Shard Wolf and Drago's Flat Bow and the Arid Sea (which I fixed). Also Vigorous Spirit and Mend Ailment.

Comments: Please investigate. Files were corrupted? File were lost in the upgrade?

SQL error
Page: User:Skuld

Problem: Tried to preview my page, got this:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff:_doquery". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'zeroliv_db5:messages:Bad_image_list' for key 1 (localhost)".

Comments:

This shows up to me on occassion too. Though the edit always takes place. --Karlos 01:24, 26 October 2005 (EST)

Everytime I've gotten this, it's been on a page with a bad image. --Rezyk 04:51, 29 October 2005 (EST)


 * I've gotten this once or twice, and it always seems so random. It will happen on a page once, but not consistantly. Gravewit 14:01, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Mis-floating Categories
Page: Previewing some pages.

Problem: Sometimes in preview, the bar showing the categories will float on top of the edit box for the article. Adjacent is an example.

Comments: This is reminicent of the old problem we had with the About Disclaimr bar. I am sorry, it does not appear consistently so I cannot pin one article where it always happens.

Fatal Error
Page: <-web link 'cause I can't figure out how to link to an image's page w/o sticking the image itself in this page.

Problem: This is the message I get trying to go to that page: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3200 bytes) in /usr/home/guildwiki/public_html/includes/Image.php on line 1073

Comments: I'm guessing that this file someone uploaded it too big for MediaWiki, if so it should be deleted and the uploader should re-upload a smaller sized version.

Image does not display
Page: Image:Armor_courtly_f.jpg and Courtly Armor

Problem: The image does not appear at all in its own page and appears as a thin line in the armor page. Yet, the image is there on the server by virtue of this page: Image talk:Armor courtly f.jpg.

Comments: I can get the image to display on the Courtly Armor page, but not on the image's page itself. --Rainith 18:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Paypal Bug
Page: Site support

Problem: Having to go GuildWiki-less recently, I went to donate via PayPal, however after choosing Canadian Dollars I get an error at the PayPal site of "Please enter an amount greater than zero." There's nowhere for me to enter an amount and clicking on "retry" yields the same result. Help? --User:Nietha
