Talk:Overview of Infoshop volunteering

From Infoshop OpenWiki

Doesnt exist. I'm beggining to wonder if anyone actually cares about this website, like people who could contribute. I'm dirt broke, but ill do whatever it takes to keep this piece alive. WikiSysop 15:24, 20 May 2006 (PDT)Spike42

That website went down in June of 2005 and then the entire website had problems with hosting (for a month) and spam DOS (until Ocotber 2005). Somehow the databases for Youth.infoshop.org were corrupted by some kind of spam or SQL injection attack, thus my attempts to upgrade the software were unsuccessful. I decided to migrate Youth.infoshop.org to Geeklog software, but ran into the obstacle of no adequate migration scripts existing. I think the new software is still installed, but we just need a person or people with MySQL knowledge to help us with the database migration. I'd like to get the site operating again, but there have been many, more pressing projects for myself. WikiSysop 15:24, 20 May 2006 (PDT)

Sweet. I know html and how to run a server, and i could try to take a look at the mysql.

OK. Here is a link to some info about Postnuke to Geeklog database migrations. I've installed Geeklog to run the project here. I'll post some information about the database structure on both sides. We basically need a script that will migrate the data from the old Postnuke db to the new Geeklog database. WikiSysop 15:09, 22 May 2006 (PDT)
