I have installed this to my iPod Touch and it works at first, but tapping on a link to go to another article often results in a server not available error. I uninstalled Apache so that it doesn’t interfere with the Wiki Server, but the problem persists.

Any advice?

Even with the problems I am having, congratulations on your work! It’s great to be able to carry around an entire Wikipedia. Hopefully it will be a bit more reliable in the next version.

Ther is a problem with new official jailbreak. The program will run as “mobile” instead “root”, so I have to start it manually

I seem to be having the same issues as John Doe. I also launched the wikiserver using a ssh command line to see what was going on and it returned the following:

Wikpedia offline server
Copyright (c) 2007-2008 by Tom Haukap
This program uses the bzip2 library. Version 0.15

Base path set to ‘/var/root/Media/Wikipedia/’
Installed laguages are ‘en’, default is ‘en’
HTTP server listening on port 8080 on host 0.0.0.0
URL: GET /wiki/test HTTP/1.1
redirected to /wiki/en:test
URL: GET /wiki/en:test HTTP/1.1
terminate called after throwing an instance of ’std::out_of_range’
terminate called recursively
zsh: abort ./wikisrvd

Not sure what that means but any help would be appreciated.

Hello again,

So I was able to recompile the articles and load them onto the touch, but now whenever I turn WikiServer on and launch the browser, the index page loads fine (as it did before) but when I search for the test page, I get either an error that says “Safari can’t connect to the server,” or “Safari can’t load this page. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain: -1005).”

Any idea what is going wrong here?

I can run wikisrvd manually successfully from the UNIX prompt– but again it only works on port 80. Any other port used comes back with the error.

Something weird is going on my iTouch. BUT what do I care– I have the offline wikipedia working!
