Mediawiki email7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Pitch the low cost of open source software ![]() There has to be a better solution, and the first step is acknowledging the problem. That is impractical as people join and leave the organization. Think about an email inbox: if I have some information I want others to have, I have to email every person who may ever need it. ![]() This makes it a good time to sell enterprises on the value of MediaWiki and other open source collaboration alternatives. The gaps between team members' knowledge (and the "pockets" of knowledge it creates) inevitably lead to collaboration pitfalls. Sell the value of MediaWikiĮmail inboxes and group chat aren't made for managing information and content-even if some teams aren't aware of or refuse to admit it. There are multiple angles to approach a team about a new technology. Tips for introducing MediaWiki to the organization If you would like to bring MediaWiki into your organization but aren't sure how to begin, I hope the following best practices I've learned as a regular MediaWiki user will help you get started. By virtue of being the platform behind Wikipedia, MediaWiki's familiarity makes it a compelling open source alternative to proprietary technology like Atlassian Confluence, which is common with developers, and SharePoint, the default corporate collaboration platform. This seems to have mitigated the problem by returning a 404 when attempting to access this path.MediaWiki is many IT professionals' first exposure to wikis. The /mw-config/index.php path is still exposed after an installation is complete, which allows the LocalSettings.php file to still be downloaded.īy re-ordering the Nginx config file and placing the location match for mw-config before the location match for \.php$. Using the Nginx config as shown in that section. mw-config/index.php is exposed with Nginx config Is there a better way? Fordprefect ( talk) 10:43, 30 April 2021 (UTC) What would a proper config for multiple MW instances look like? Currently, I copied the files from /usr/shar/webapps/mediawiki to the respective folders, but that requires manual intervention on every update. Is it possible that the problem line will only be accepted if you use the alternative PHP setup method, at Apache_HTTP_Server#Using_libphp? If so, how should I achieve the equivalent with my PHP setup? - Ghepardo ( talk) 17:44, (UTC)Ĭonfiguration for multiple Mediawiki instances Googling isn't too much help here, except to suggest that I need to load a PHP module within Apache for the command to be recognised. If I comment out this line, Apache starts with no problem. When I restart Apache, it complains about this line, stating: Php_admin_value open_basedir "/usr/share/webapps/:/tmp/:/usr/bin/" These tell you to use the example Apache configuration file supplied by the MediaWiki package. I've set up PHP with Apache as per Apache_HTTP_Server#Using_apache2-mpm-worker_and_mod_fcgid, then continued with the instructions on this Wiki page at MediaWiki#Apache.

But just in case, can someone double check and try the configuration in a clean environment? I've tried setting up MediaWiki by carefully following every steps listed in the wiki, since I have no previous knowledge of nginx. Perhaps also add a link to OpenSMTPD for people who don’t already have one? Link Mauve ( talk) 14:38, 22 June 2016 (UTC) nginx configuration doesn't work I found it to work out of the box if you have an email server installed, which is the easiest solution anyway, instead of routing all of your traffic to Google, I’d suggest to leave it as-is. I'd love to do this but I run my mediawiki in chroot so there will be a challange of chrooting pear too? `running "pear install mail" and possibly "pear install Net_SMTP"` Looking through MediaWiki wiki and mailing lists I noticed email is not supported out of the box.įound this needs to be added to LocalSettings.php ( :$wgSMTP):īut it seems there are some php libs that need installing ( ): quote: ![]()
