Wiki Administration

overview

On the edit page is a button labeled admin tasks . Clicking this button will bring up a page for adding and deleting areas and users. Once you select an operation, you will get a response with an indication of the success or failure of the operation.

By default, wiki comes with a user admin with a password of admin! (with the exclaimation point). You should use the edit users button in the admin tasks page to make and modify real users.

As far as general administration goes, here are a few pointers;

  • PHPWiki is module based. These modules are located in the phpwiki/modules/ directory. If you want to allow appends, but not edits, just remove the edit.phl and save.phl files. If appends are too much for you, remove append.phl and appendsave.phl and you're golden. At this point, you probably should also edit the templates in phpwiki/templates/ to remove the desired options too.
  • the entire phpwiki dir should be owned by whatever user the webserver runs as. A chown -R WHATEVER phpwiki phpwiki-files should do the trick.
  • If you turn on publicvew in pwiki/pwikicfg.phl, folks who can edit would use a URL like http://whatever/wikieditors/AREA/whatever while those with only read access would use a URL like http://whatever/wiki/AREA/whatever .
