WikiFarms-Talk

A glitch

I couldn't get local configs to work on my private farm with pmwiki-2.1.27. This was my fix:

1. the index.php in my farmed directory consisted of

<?php 
$LocalDir = dirname(__FILE__).'/local';
include('../telecom-b/pmwiki.php'); ?>

2. change line 49 of pmwiki.php from

$LocalDir = 'local';

to

SDV($LocalDir,'local');

YMMV, HTH!

Although it may not be recommended, I tried at least 3 hours to fix it without making the hack, including fresh installs. It is definitely a problem with pmwiki-2.1.27, I know that I did everything else right, so when I upgrade it should work. Jonathan Sprinkle
This may be symptomatic of a problem in the include_path for your php server module. In my case, the include_path was /opt/php/lib/php, which after I modified to .:/opt/php/lib/php successfully fixed my wikifarms issues. To do this, I added the text
 # in ~/public_html/.htaccess
 ...
 php_value include_path .:$include_path
To the bottom of the ~/public_html/.htaccess file. Thanks to Pm for pointing out the fix, and Steven Leite who helped in painful debugging to rule out recipes, etc... Jonathan Sprinkle

As a new pmwiki user, I could use more details here about how to make this work and still use cleanURLS. I have the farmed wiki set up, and working with the default arrangement, but the local config doesn't seem to work as per above. And I do not understand the specifics of the solution offered. An example of how to apply a cookbook recipe with farmconfig.php would also be helpful Thanks. Netroutes?


Uploads?

If every wiki shares the same pub dir, couldn't this lead to collision between uploaded files on different wikis? --simkin December 13, 2011, at 09:04 AM
