I'm going to use this topic as a place to hold information about maintaining this wiki. Like [[Help:Contents]] it may split up into other smaller articles. | I'm going to use this topic as a place to hold information about maintaining this wiki.

==Creating | ==Creating Backups== | ||
If you login into [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie Redbrick] as the User [[User:Wiki|Wiki]] you can execute a simple script I wrote called 'wiki_backup'. This dumps the SQL and tar.gz public_html and the wiki home directory and places it in /var/tmp for downloading using SFTP. The only reason the wiki home directory is tar.gz is that TWiki used to store some stuff there. | |||
I've blanked the password out in the script example below. | |||

==Upgrading MediaWiki== | ==Upgrading MediaWiki== | ||
One of the reasons for using MediaWiki is that it'll be easier for upgrading. MediaWiki is trival for upgrading as all the data is stored in an SQL database and the settings are stored in a file called 'LocalSettings.php'. So it should be a matter of overwriting the MediaWiki files, adding '#!/usr/local/bin/php' to 'index.php' and calling an SQL update script. I haven't performed an upgrade yet so when I do I'll update these instructions. | |||
