All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part III

[Bob Schroeck]

Although the wiki seems (for the most part) functional, for some reason the home page persistently displays multiple copies of the following message:

This is a cached copy of the requested page, and may not be up to date.

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Cannot contact the database server: No such file or directory)

You can try searching via Google in the meantime.
Note that their indexes of our content may be out of date.

EDIT: Would it be safe to assume the ongoing updates are also responsible for pages that briefly load and then refuse to display under IE, causing the browser to put up an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error page instead?  A good example is http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/For_Want_of_a_Nail, which displays just fine under Firefox but throws the error in IE.
