Quoting Gus Wirth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm trying to figure out what needs to be backed up in TWiki <http://twiki.org>. The Twiki site is decidedly unhelpful. It seems that it has stuff scattered all over the place, including /var/www/twiki, /var/lib/twiki, /var/cgi-bin and others. There was a mention of twiki in this KPLUG thread a while ago: <http://www.kernel-panic.org/pipermail/kplug-list/2006-October/087445.html>
All that you should need to worry about are the actual setups and data (and setups should be with the data)... so the root of the twiki data path should be it. The rest should be the scripts and such that are installed as part of the package. Not sure about how plugins are handled on your install.
Slightly OT but a good message: Make sure you seriously keep up with patches on there. I usually do, but I had installed a Twiki instance at home outside the usual package method (emerge) on a gentoo system (and I completely forget why I did at the time). I didn't keep up with stuff and within a couple days of an exploit in twiki itself, someone had used it to drop in some phishing sites on my box. I was mighty pissed at myself for allowing that to happen, especially since I usually stay on top of things like that. Found out when Time Warner called because the Italian bank (one of the things being fished) complained to them about a host in their IP space with copyrighted work (they didn't even seem to know/care about the phishing side of it.. go figure).
For anyone that cares, it was all one guy (or group) as the couple of fake site scripts sent mail to the same address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I saved a copy of the stuff (outside of the web stuff, of course) too. -- Mike Marion-Unix/Linux Admin-http://www.miguelito.org Well, what else is important to them? As far as stimulants go, both of our generations know the feeling of jonesing for product from Columbia; it's just that their product is coffee. -- Dennis Miller on GenX -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
