Information about configuring Wx Wiki Server
README
The README page comes with each distribution, and contains basic info on how to start Wx Wiki Server.
- Wiki Server README - README file for Wiki Server
Startup Process
When starting up, wikiserver first checks to see if Wiki Server Ini exists. If Wiki Server Ini does not exist, or contains no settings, wikiserver checks the command line. Finally, if none of those have any settings, then wikiserver falls back to its hard-coded built-in settings, detailed in Wiki Server Ini.
This file is read only when the server starts, and has the same file format as wkc files (see Wkc File Format).
- Wiki Server Ini - Initialization settings for Wx Wiki Server
File Formats
These are the files that are present in the pages directory.
- Wkc File Format - format of configuration files
- Wkv File Format - revisioning file format (don't edit them yourself)
- Wik File Format - these are just the wiki pages as is
Runtime Config Files
The following config files can be edited at any time, and, while the server is running, through the Admin Login page (if you edit one outside the server while it is still running, either the file will be overwritten or the changes simply won't be loaded, depending on the particular wkc file changed).
- Config Wkc - Basic configuration. This mostly deals with how pages look, but has other features, such as ip filtering, as well.
- Users Wkc - User list, information, and permissions.
- MIMETypesWkc - Mime types that the server will send back to a client. Clients requesting an unlisted type will be sent an error.
- Inter Wiki Wkc - Defines prefixes for linking to other sites.
- Lock Pages Wkc - Locks pages - allows only administrator to edit them. Note that users can still view the edit box of locked pages, but they will be sent an unauthorized error if they try to save their changes.
Template Files
- Page Template Html - Master html template for all pages
- Style Css - Style sheets and class names
Other Admin Features
Other features that the Administrator can use.
- Admin Pages - Pages that only an Administrator can edit
- Dump All Pages - Dump All Pages will download a binary file containing all the pages on the Wiki server. If you copy this file to the Server directory and restart the server, these pages will be automatically merged in with your current pages. Caveat: Pages from this file will always overwrite pages from your database, if there is a clash.
- HTMLConvert - Converts all wiki pages to html.
