= Media Wiki Configuration = == System Configuration == OSGeo uses a Mediawiki instance as our main wiki (http://wiki.osgeo.org). The configuration of the mediawiki instance is documented here (in Trac) instead of in the regular wiki so that we have a decent chance of seeing this info if the wiki is down. * Primary Maintainer: Martin Spott (Martin.Spott at mgras.net) (osgeo userid: "martin"). * Host: "osgeo2" - the secondary system at Peer1 (ssh to wiki.osgeo.org or test.osgeo.net) * Configuration Location: /var/www/wiki_osgeo It appears we also host the fossgis wiki (/var/www/wiki_fossgis). == System Operators == The list of system operators is available at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 Anyone in the Bureaucrat can add new users to the sysop class at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Userrights == User Map Project == To maintain a Usermap of the OSGeo wiki, a !UserLocalization Extension has been integrated into the wiki by Christian Willmes (c.willmes at uni-koeln.de) (user: christian): [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/UserMap_Documentation here] Installation of the Mediawiki Extension: * installation of a Postgres/PostGIS on the server * integration of the Extension into the Wiki More information about the !UserLocalization Extension can be found at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserLocalization == Wiki Down Recovery == If the wiki stops operating it may be helpful to restart apache, and/or mysql. eg. {{{ $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart }}} == Security == To keep anonymous users from editing the wiki, add/change in !LocalSettings.php: {{{ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true; }}} This will prevent anonymous users (users who aren't logged in) from editing the wiki.
