Dear LSDiv support,
(With copy to my group, so they know what is going on)
I am in dire need of help. Last Monday I upgraded my desktop machine
from Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 and basically "destroyed" my mediawiki (all the
knowledge of the group for 14 months) configuration. I have all the
relevant backups, but upgrading to 1.7, the new version in Ubuntu (from
whatever version came with 6.06 LTS) is not working.
Probably the best long term solution is if you can create for us a
virtual machine with Ubuntu 6.06LTS in your VM server. That could be our
group wiki server that does not conflict with our desktops and that is
fully backed up. I could use it as the place to host the group's website
as well.
Please let me know if that is possible, I would need it as soon as
possible because my group has been a week or so without wiki access and
that is starting to generate many problems.
As soon as you create the virtual machine, we can probably take it from
there installing the appropriate LAMP packages, and reinserting our wiki
into the database, transferring the files, etc.
Let me know if that is possible. A small-ish disk + ram is possible. How
about 25 GB of space? (So we can upload all the papers we need, etc.)
Thank you,
Alan
