Hi Dan,

;Edit notes
I'm able to SSH in to the meridian server from here, and from all the servers I was trying to test it from before, so it must have been some kind of smellycom outage, or maybe the router somehow got confused with so many comings and goings to the same places!?

Anyway it means I probably don't need to come in again for now, I'll just chip away here for a bit. Could you let me know if you get this before tomorrow, otherwise I'll give you a call around 8:30am...

Ok, I've set up network, firewall, DNS server, SQL server. Haven't done SSL or MediaWiki yet, and I'll need to call re setting up router for web - I only let SSH through and forgot webserver access, and I can't do it from the shell.

Hi Dan,
 
 
 
It's good to see you've jumped straight in to using the wiki. Regarding your wiki server, why don't we use the old box at the office in Whitianga? It would be perfect: P3 650Mhz/64MB/20GB.
 
It's only got Win98 running on it and wouldn't be much good for anything else. All it needs is a RAM upgrade to 256MB, Debian installed and you're away!

Great. I would love to de-geekify the Wiki. I object to being called a User. :) --[[User:Dan|Dan]]
 
 
 
I've put permissions on [[Meridian Alliance]] and [[Talk:Meridian Alliance]] as an example of permissions. Its a bit techo at the moment as you have to edit the XML properties article - but there's a new [[Properties Form|user freindly form]] on the way :-)

Hi Dan, I just wanted to clarify regarding the box dana gave me - will it be a dedicated server that just sits in a cupboard somewhere and serves wiki pages, or will it be in use as a general workstation as well? Based on your answer I would either prepare it for Aran to set up the XMLWiki on Windows XP, or format the hard drive, install Debian on it and give [[User:Nad|Nad]] root access to it so he can install XMLWiki. In that case, I should take off the XP Pro sticker and you can use it elsewhere. --[[User:Milan|Milan]] 16:12, 16 Mar 2006 (NZDT)
 
::I'm not really interested in maintaining an xmlwiki instance on a windows box, its not a step in the right direction. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 16:32, 16 Mar 2006 (NZDT)
 
 
 
Looks like it will  should be set up with Debian then...
 
:Yip that would be best - if you need that current box for XP I'm sure we can come up with another box for the wiki-server pretty quick, it doesn't need to be much of a spec. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 11:58, 17 Mar 2006 (NZDT)
 
 
 
::Use it for the Wiki Empire
 
::P.S not clear how to 'indent' to add to a thread
 
:::Use ":" (colon) at start of line to indent (and extra colons indent more), and asterisks at start do bullets, and hashes outline numbered headings.
 
:::See also, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#The_wiki_markup MediaWiki Markup] for a page of syntax examples
 
:::And use <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> to add your username, or <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> for one with a timestamp (like this &rarr; [[User:Nad|Nad]] 12:12, 17 Mar 2006 (NZDT))

You guys should check out some of those [[documentaries]] too, if you've got time they're really good ones. Milan should have a local copy of most of them so you don't need to waste bandwidth. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 13:01, 26 Mar 2006 (NZST)
