requested by Saqib from the Pakistan chapter [https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User:Saqib] create pk.wikimedia.org and redirect it to http://www.wikimediapakistan.org/ < Saqib> i was wondering if is it possible to redirect "pk.wikimedia.org" to a page I created for the chapter? --- i talked to Saqib and already created a DNS change to add pk here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/86650/1/templates/wikimedia.org
Change 86652 had a related patch set uploaded by Dzahn: redirect pk.wikimedia.org to wikimediapakistan.org (bug 54780) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/86652
currently the target website can be accessed at a temporary URL : http://151.252.0.26/~ujgayxfq/
please keep us updated once http://www.wikimediapakistan.org/ is ready
http://wikimediapakistan.org is working now.
Luis, i boldly added you to this ticket to confirm if we can already add a pk.wikimedia.org redirect to wikimediapakistan.org to the Pakistan chapter which is currently being founded by Saqib or if it needs another step of approval because it is in the state "proposed chapter". https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Pakistan http://www.wikimediapakistan.org/
while uk.wikimedia.org redirect to thier UK chapter website. it would be great if pk.wikimedia.org be redirect to the meta page : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Pakistan
(In reply to comment #6) > while uk.wikimedia.org redirect to thier UK chapter website. > it would be great if pk.wikimedia.org be redirect to the meta page : > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Pakistan I have uploaded a new patch set to reflect that and redirect to the meta page instead.
added pk.wikimedia.org to DNS, added Apache redirect (to the page on meta for now). < grrrit-wm> (CR) Dzahn: [C: 2] redirect pk.wikimedia.org to meta community page [operations/apache-config] - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/86652 (owner: Dzahn) < mutante> !log sync-apache and graceful for pk.wm redirect < grrrit-wm> (CR) Dzahn: [C: 2] add pk.wikimedia.org for redirect for Pakistan chapter [operations/dns] - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/86650 (owner: Dzahn) ---> http://pk.wikimedia.org/
(In reply to comment #4 by Saqib) > http://wikimediapakistan.org is working now. The page currently only displays "This Account Has Been Suspended" for me. Saqib: Is that intentional?
i don't know what went wrong. i will check it.
Saqib: Any news?
sorry for late reply. the site has been takes down/closed....
you may close this bug now
Hmm. :(
hi andrew, after a long break. finally our website is up again now. we're purchased a new hosting and currently the site is under development and is using a domain from outside on temporary basis. can you now redirect "pk.wikimedia.org" to there? you can access the site at http://loveforkarachi.org/wp/ for your information, recently our user group got official recognition as well : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Pakistan_-_April_2014
Reopening per comment 16
it would be nice if an action could be taken asap because the the domain name "http://loveforkarachi.org/wp/" where currently our site is pointing to, is going for usage on another project..
Not sure if I understand. Cannot ping/traceroute http://wikimediapakistan.org/ "wikimediapakistan.org: Name or service not known" And I don't understand why http://loveforkarachi.org/wp/ was brought up here (which I cannot reach either). So what is "asap" here?! Could you clarify?
Saqib, hello? Is Wikimedia Pakistan still active in this regard? Do you think wikimediapakistan.org will ever work again? Should we close the bug again? can't find the server at www.wikimediapakistan.org. Best regards, Daniel
No reply from Saqib. Closing as INVALID as there seems to be no server and no idea what's going on. Saqib: Please reopen this ticket if this is still wanted, and after clarifying what the situation is.
ok. guys . sorry for too much troubling but things were not perfect at my side.. now the site is finally up.. and will be working on soon once i get some spare time.. http://loveforkarachi.org/wp/
and www.wikimediapakistan.org is expired already so no more wasting money to buy it again.. right now we have hosted our site on a temporary URL
