RE: Are wiki pages backed up?

2004-03-26 Thread Shapira, Yoav

Hi,

nope. Manually, every now and then. How lame is that, huh? Need to
install a cronjob. Forgot about it several times now. Can someone
please
add an entry to jira?

Done: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=INFRA-46.

Thanks,

Yoav Shapira

 Are our wiki pages (either old UseMod or new MoinMoin) backed up
 regularly?  Or maybe backed up somewhere like CVS?  Is there something
 we can do if someone maliciously edits a page and removes all content?

UseMod kinda, MoinMoin, I'm not sure.  In the longer run, Greg is working on
a Subversion-based Wiki that would be a drop-in replacement for our Moin
Moin Wiki Farm.

Previous copies of pages are saved in the backup directory, for example (JMeter Wiki)

ls -l data/backup
total 142
-rwxrwxrwx  1 noelapsite   1334 Mar  4 11:01 FrontPage.1078426912
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody  apsite   1440 Mar  5 03:59 FrontPage.1078487995
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody  apsite   1996 Mar 10 14:41 FrontPage.1078958466
[...]

Anyone with shell access can restore an earlier version of a page. There may be a way 
using the Wiki too.

Moin does store previous revisions of files (in the 'backup' folder 
alongside the 'text' folder), but not the latest revision. That, we can 
retrieve, in theory, from the change notifications. In practice, we had 
to do that when the avalon wiki was erronously wiped a while back, and 
it is a major headache which takes hours to figure out.

If someone with enoug priviledges runs an rm -Rf in the wrong place 
we've got a big problem.

Or maybe backed up somewhere like CVS?  Is there something
we can do if someone maliciously edits a page and removes all content?
yes, if the edit is through the web, that is easy enough (though not 
enabled by default). The 'i' icon in the top right corner of each page 
gets you a page with a link to the revision info. Click on the 'view' of 
a revision, and replace 'action=recall' with 'action=raw'. You can 
copy-paste that content in the edit pane of the page to restore it.

I think a better description is in the Moin FAQ.

I don't think anyone has modded moin to automate that process, probably 
in part because...

UseMod kinda, MoinMoin, I'm not sure.  In the longer run, Greg is working on
a Subversion-based Wiki that would be a drop-in replacement for our Moin
Moin Wiki Farm.
