324452 - mount existing wiki in mozilla.org domain somewhere

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Graydon Hoare :graydon]

Apparantly it's better politically if this be hosted inside mozilla.org. It's a self-contained DokuWiki installation carrying the spec material of the ECMAScript 4 working group. 

DokuWiki runs on plain text files. It is a PHP application but has no database requirements. It should run as soon as it's unpacked. There is no site-specific configuration required. It manages its own authentication (though it can be hooked into HTTPD auth if you prefer).

The permissions of various files in the data/ and conf/ subdirectories are 0777. This is not necessary; all that's required is that those files be writable by the uid which PHP is running as. I just didn't have root permission on the machine I was setting it up on.

The wiki is archived here: http://www.venge.net/graydon/es4/wiki.tar.gz

Please let me know if you need further information.

I've discussed this with Graydon and Brendan - they have some requirements that our current wiki software doesn't support.  This should be similar to the QA setup we just did and I think wiki.m.o would be a good place.

Done, the home page for this wiki is http://wiki.mozilla.org/ECMA/wiki/

unfortunately none of the subdirectories on this wiki work. perhaps the permissions are set wrong?

Could you give me an example of what doesn't work?  Please ping me on irc (aravind) and we can figure this out.

I believe changing the configuration variable in conf/local.php from:

$conf['userewrite']  = 2;

to

$conf['userewrite']  = 0;

might help.

I made the change, it looks like that fixed it.  Thanks for providing the fix.
