    Hi,
    just discovered phpwiki and installed it using Fantastico.
    My version is 1.2.10.
    I'm completely newbie with wikis....

    Questions:

    1) Should I update to current version? Why?
    2) With this version 1.2.10 how can I backup (is it necessary?) to restore if someone changes things that could not be change (spam...)? I did not discover how to come back to last page version.
    3) How someone login? Or create an account? (also in this version 1.2.10).
    4) Where I can find which commands are available to admin?

    Thanks for help me.

      You might want to update if you want features from the 1.3.x release branch.

      Backup/restore is done in 1.2.x similar as with 1.3.x
      Got to PhpWikiAdministration, click on ZIP Snapshot (or ZIP Dump)
      and restore them with Load serialized pages.

      For this however you'll have to the admin.php url
      => instead of index.php use admin.php

      And enter your wikiadmin name and password in the file admin.php

        Thank you.
        After downloaded the ZIP Dump file and opened it I have to Upload the file to be restored(using ftp?) to my directory?

        "3) How someone login? Or create an account? (also in this version 1.2.10)."

          There's no user authconcept with 1.2.x and no security and no antispam.
          $remoteuser = getenv('REMOTE_HOST') or getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')

          The only supported and recommended concept is http auth.
          apache: require ...

          without http auth everybody can view and edit,
          but only the admin user can do admin actions.

      "You might want to update if you want features from the 1.3.x release branch."

      As I just discovered phpwiki and installed it using Fantastico in my host, what exactly should I do before starting my wiki?
      Download the last version in my pc and upload it to my host? Is there a command to run the installation?

      newbie....
      Thanks.
