[Phpwiki-talk] Need help with Wiki

[Joel S. <jo...@OA...>]

Hi,

We are trying to use PhpWiki 1.3.10 for the RTEMS Wiki
(http://www.rtems.org/phpwiki) and are having a number of problems.
Our content is growing quickly and I want to resolve the
issues.  Any help/advice we can get would be most appreciated.
Some are certainly ignorance on my part, while I am not
sure of the others.

We are using MySQL as the database for
content and that works fine.

First, we do not seem to be able to get any password
setup to work.  If someone sets it in their preferences,
and doesn't edit their personal page, they get locked out.

At one point I had the Administrator password working
but now I am so confused, it doesn't even work.
I added an .htpasswd on a dummy page to force a login
as the admin account and think that matches
the settings in config.php.

Here is another random issue from a user
 >
 >>I think I broke my wiki account.  I set my preferences for sidebar 
display
 >>and now whenever I try to login I get :
 >>Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
 >>/home/rtems/phpwiki/themes/Sidebar/themeinfo.php on line 37
 >>I don't seem to be able to change my preferences.
 >>

I also have seen a random entry from an arbitrary IP address
so I think some spammers have figure out how to automatically
add Wiki entries. ;(  I have seen this on PhpBB sites so it
didn't surprise me.
