Ian, Actually what happened was at work I started my personal knowledge base and then people started using it and then now it got large so i was assigned to make it into something workable for everyone, i'm not really an admin by nature im a technician.
I dont really have to worry about security we have a regular admin who works that (as well as we are behind a bunch of firewalls and you have to be on our vpn/lan to access it. As for the database stuff, I love databases. The world is made of many people and I prefer db's to flat files. good thing i havent had any problems yet with the db. Lois, I guess from an admin pov, installation is easy. i could show you instructions. (thing is, im not really sure if those are the best instructions, again, i am not an admin by background). as for maintenance... well there aren't that many pages, almost 5k, but backup/restores are just 5-10 minute deals. for one backup i usually get around 30MB for the SQL db and 100MB tarball for the files. so its not that heavy at all.
