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: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
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)
