This is an old revision of the document!

• Details on installed templates

Things to do

• Find a suitable favicon.ico
• Find a logo pic for site
• Finish configuring arctic template
  • Lockdown the sidebar from editing
  • configure additional sidebars
• Try the other templates
• Look up advice on keeping this site backed up to git

• combining mediawiki and dokuwiki on the same site
• (why did the subbullets of this item need extra indenting?)
  • article on converting between them: http://www.linuxintro.org/wiki/How_to_make_dokuwiki_a_good_mediawiki
    • Article on how to enable mediawiki syntax on a dokuwiki - http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/Mediasyntax
    • converter to go from dokuwiki to mediawiki syntax: https://github.com/tstaerk/mediasyntax/tree/master/tools
  • only conflicting file seems to be index.php
  • eventually replace all mediawiki links with redirect pages to their new dokuwiki locations
    • try a mediawiki style url on dokuwiki site and see what happens
    • Or change dokuwiki index.php to automatically rewrite and redirect mediawiki style urls - mediawiki style urls will just go to the homepage of the dokuwiki

• Documentation useful for configuration
  • https://www.dokuwiki.org/template
  • Docuwiki farm with Virtual hosts: https://software.ivertech.com/Videos/DisplayVideo.aspx?VideoID=23690
  • Permissions
    • Directories that must be made writeable, so extension manager can work: https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:permissions
      • lib/plugins needs to have write access for the web server process
    • In Plesk, a lot of directories must be made inaccessible to prevent security errors of the wrong things being readable over the web - http://www.dokuwiki.org/security
      • web access security: protect these directories from plesk interface for each website account /bin /conf /data /inc /vendor
      • To check if you need to adjust the access permissions try to access http://THE_SERVER_DOMAIN/data/pages/wiki/dokuwiki.txt. You should not get access to that file this way.
    • when going into admin console, there will be a signin prompt, and errors in the log, but this ok, it is a directory security test
    • Note that ACL must be enabled so the plugin manager works ok

Other things to do to setup this wiki

• import content from mediawiki at http://www.thegarnet.net
  • Is there a mediawiki markup to dokuwiki markup converter, or an import utility?
• create a private namespace for user TheGarnet

Useful docuwiki documentation about how the wiki works:
