[Phpwiki-talk] username/password setup for PHPWiki 1.3.7 on UbuntuLinux

[Peter T. <pt...@li...>]

Dear all

I just had the chance to set up a Ubuntu Linux box with a PHPWiki 1.3.7.
It works fine now - but I am still a PHPWiki newbie :)

I managed to setup the "admin" user with password, and now I need to add=20
user names who can edit the pages. I intend to run with
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT=3Dtrue, and I don't want to mess with an LDAP
authentification. Since the source seems to be the best source of=20
documentation, It seems that the username/password validation type I want=
=20
to focus on is the ALLOW_HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN, so if the user validates by=20
some username and passwd through Apache, then this username is directly=20
used by PHPWiki.

But from=20
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ExternalAuthentication
it seems that this ALLOW_HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN is still "todo".
Can anyone comment here?

Should I rather go for a (.e.g.) MySQL database?

Best regards

please ask at the appropriate support forum, which is debian.

all these 1.3.7 problems were fixed years ago.
we are currently close to 1.3.11

I'm pleased to report that I've adopted the Debian PHPWiki package,
which was languishing somewhat. 

1.3.10 is now in Debian Unstable and I am in the process of packaging
1.3.11 which should be in the archive sometime in the next few weeks.
The package is to buggy to be allowed into testing at the moment, but I
am working on that also.

You can get the 1.3.10 packages at
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/phpwiki

To be notified when new packages are released sign up for the package
tracking system at http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/phpwiki.html

Kind Regards

Great for the anti spam features also, people are complaining about.
