Changes

Adding the following debug code to the top of the page (below <?php) showed a problem with the ctype function. This was resolved by Mohan, who installed php5-ctype. '''Debug code''' can be added to the top of LocalSettings.php (below <?php though). It should be taken out again at the end of the build:

Note that UserRightsList does not appear to work for v1.18 (this has been reported to From the author)extensions directory, do the following:

From the extensions directory, do the following wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/SimpleSecurity-MW1.18-r92088.tar.gz tar -xzf SimpleSecurity-MW1.18-r92088.tar.gz chmod 777 -R SimpleSecurity/

This will mean that we need to add to LocalSettings.php  $wgArticlePath = "/~edegan/wiki/$1"; # Redirect for short URLs and possibly: $wgUsePathInfo = true; As well as a .htaccess file or other means of doing the redirect. An example .htaccess file that doesn't work, most likely because the webserver doesn't allow Rewrites is:  RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/~edegan/wiki/(.*)$ /~edegan/w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/~edegan/wiki/*$ /~edegan/w/index.php [L,QSA] Documentation on configuring Short URLs is here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL  ==Security== Until we can move the wiki and change its owner to apache (or similar), which requires root, the best we can do appears to be (from public_html):  chmod -R og-wx+X w/ chmod -R og+w w/images/
