Perhaps good enough reason for NOT wanting to use a database ;) Although a lot more stable than it used to be - but until one can run a backup transparently at intervals is it really suitable for live data? My own live sites just mirror to a backup machine including a backup of the database automatically. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Among other things that I like about it, like plugins, is the fact that it is file based. It can be nice sometimes to be able to make certain changes to your pages with a normal editor, search and replace tool or whatever. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Wiki recommendation?
Hey all, I'm looking for a good Wiki to maintain documentation on a large commercial web site that is always growing. DokuWiki is the only one I've installed and used at any length, so before I just use that one again I'd like to hear from the peanut gallery what other suggestions you'd have. Remember, this will be for end user documentation for a large commercial CMS type system, something site admins will go to for information on site features, updates, etc. Let the shouting begin! Thanks, all, and a very happy eating-charred-dead-bird-flesh day to you all!!!

Thanks, all, and a very happy eating-charred-dead-bird-flesh day to you all!!! Skip Well, I've used DocuWiki and bit new to MediaWiki which I think WikiPedia uses. MediaWiki uses a MySQL DB were as DocuWiki is a tree dir structure kind of thing. I actually prefer DocuWiki but maybe thats because I didn't setup MediaWiki correctly. Cacti uses DocuWiki by the way and I personally avoid DB usage if possible. I think its easier to corrupt a DB then it is to corrupt a filesystem. However I'm unsure of how scalable a pure file system based Wiki is, I think if you put it on a mirrored disk with a decent cache on the Raid controller, you'll be fine performance and DR wise. If its Linux, then MD based (software raids) works pretty well. - aurf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Wiki recommendation?
Well, if you want to get really extreme, you could use TiddlyWiki: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ It's a wiki contained in a single HTML file. No database. No server side scripting. No server! hah -TG - Original Message - From: Skip Evans s...@bigskypenguin.com To: TG tg-...@gryffyndevelopment.com Cc: Jonathan Tapicer tapi...@gmail.com, aurfal...@gmail.com, php-general@lists.php.net php-general@lists.php.net Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:33:54 -0600 Subject: Re: [PHP] Wiki recommendation?
