Problems accessing the wiki

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I am currently unable to access the wiki (and add my name to the MBFM bulk order)

Last night I looked at the page, hit login, entered my username etc. and clicked ok.

I’m now getting the following message:::

Warning: preg_grep() [function.preg-grep]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 20 in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 259

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 261

I haven’t previously attempted to log in to the wiki, and whenever i visit any page of the wiki the same thing happens. It does however still say “logged in as *jOi~” in the bottom message bar, just that “Permission Denied” is always there.

I’m on OSX 10.4.11, and have tried with Safari and Firefox to the same conclusion.

Any help would be fantastic

Delete your temporary internet files and cookies.

Try again. But since you have a non standard alpha numeric nick name that could be the problem with the latley installed plugins.

However i am not sure.

Try The first thing and let us know.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I deleted all temporary internet files and cookies, which allowed me to access the wiki.

I then tried to login and again I entered my username and password and then “permission denied” again.

I think I’ll try changing my username now (can I do that?).

The wiki is so great - I surprise myself that I’ve never logged in before… hah!

No harm in maturity though, the stars and tilda are getting a little young for me.

I see you changed your nick.

Does everything work ok now?

I had to wait overnight for things to be updated, but now I can login to the wiki with ‘Joi’ as the username - no issues.

I did however still have to login to the forum with username ‘*jOi~’, yet it says ‘Hello Joi’ up the top. Is this because my username can’t be changed but my nick can? And the wiki uses your nick as login?

Hrmm.. These questions aren’t terribly important, but thanks for the suggestion as I can now use both.

Yeah there’s a difference between “username” and “name” in the profile settings.

It is actually annoying in the chat, as the chat uses the “username” and not the “name”.

I’m sure an admin could change the “username” if you asked nicely.
