Web browser: --- Bug #: 40739 Summary: Run pollForChanges as user Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: WikidataClient AssignedTo: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: silke.me...@wikimedia.de CC: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- Here is what Katie proposed so that we stop running the script as root: 1) create a new user on the systems, such as "wikidata", with some shared password. We can "su wikidata" (or "sudo -u wikidata" ) and run things as that user, such as pollforchanges. 2) put user "wikidata" it into group: www-data 3) change permissions on all our mediawiki instances to: chown -Rf wikidata:www-data /var/www sudo chmod -R g+s /var/www (I'm not 100% sure about this but think it's right) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
