Details about this wiki installation
This page describes details about this wiki installation, e.g. location of
files etc.
- The server
wiki.lyx.org is an alias for aussie.lyx.org.
- The main wiki directory on
aussie is
/home/lyx/www/pmwiki/
- The wiki engine is located on
aussie at
/home/lyx/www/pmwiki/pmwiki.php
- The "database" with wiki pages is located on
aussie in

Permissions
Note that the sticky for group permissions are set for some of the
directories. This is so that the "user" which runs apache will own certain
files, e.g. the uploaded files. If this isn't the case, we can't use for
instance the file manager to delete files.
So if you manually copy a file into uploads/, remember that nobody else
will (probably) be able to delete it etc.
The group wiki
Users that belong to the group wiki should be able to manipulate
uploaded files and the wiki page database directly.

drwxrwxr-x 6 chr wiki 4096 8 feb 12.18 /home/lyx/www/pmwiki/pub/
Question: Why does chr own pub/?
Answer (Christian): I have no idea.. but as long as the directory belongs
to the group wiki, it shouldn't matter.
