Sudhir, I believe you're the custodian of the vanagonwiki.net domain?

Please change the IP address of the web site to:

208.69.42.139

We need this asap. Thanks!

Just a friendly reminder. The web site is still up for now, but it
won't stay up forever.

What is the new ip again? I set the .info to point at an ip, but there seems to be an error.

The IP is in my original message, below.

Not familiar with ".info." The web site only responds to
vanagonwiki.net and www.vanagonwiki.net.

Sorry, gmail was black-holing my vanagon list stuff because I screwed up a filter. Won't happen again. Pointing vanagonwiki.net to 208.69.42.139 right now.

Thanks, John.

Interestingly, while it has been over a year since my colocation
provider alerted me to the IP address change (5 Apr 2012), the old IP
has not yet been reassigned. Both the old and new IP addresses are
routed to my server.

So the wiki stayed up all that time.

But it's good to have it changed, because the old IP eventually will
stop working.

The domain is registered to John Bange.

John, is there a way we can give a few of us access to that domain
registration, in case something happens to you?

Of course, I'm a similar single point of failure: Nobody has access
to the server but me. In the spirit of community, I'll update this
page from time to time with a backup of the database:

http://www.sbw.org/vanagonwiki/

Will a few of you download the database for safe keeping?

I'll also think about how best to make available backups of the
images and the wiki configuration.

Do we need to do more?

Given the lack of updates to vanagonwiki, have we considered merging the info in it into the club80-90 wiki? http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Main_Page

Yeah, I'll go ahead and create a new registrar account for it and transfer it, and give any of us admins who wants the password. I'm clearly too flaky to be the only point of contact on this!
