[pmwiki-users] Farms and security

2008-06-05 Thread Alexander Dietrich
Hello, I recently turned my PmWiki installation into a farm, and came across the comment dealing with PHP session cookie names for preventing accidental privilege elevation. This got me thinking: if the only thing right now stopping a user from getting incorrect privileges on another field, coul

I'm just setting up a farm, and it's looking good. Each wiki will be a separate topic, with a separate owner/admin. Is it possible for skins and other per-wiki configs to be managed (ie changed) by each wiki's individual admin via a passworded web interface? Right now the only way I can see to

Nothing says you can't. My suggestion about using index.php assumes you have clean URLs and want http://example.org to retrieve example.org/index.php. If you're using .htaccess then you can map it any way you like--within Apache's limits. On 4/15/07, Mark Trumpold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can

Not "index.html," as much as "index.php." I advocate the index.php because many web servers expect to map to an index.* when given a clean URL (e.g. http://www.example.org to http://example.org/index.html). Now that I have a web server of my own, I put PmWiki in /usr/local/pmwiki and then: ln -s

Correct. You would have an index.html that pointed to the pmwiki.php. Ben suggests pointing to the pmwiki.php using a synonym, which will make it easy to simply switch the synonym when upgrading/downgrading PmWiki versions. On Thu, 12 Apr 2007 14:35:45 +0200, Mark Trumpold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> w
