[02:11] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o PeterThoeny [10:02] Hi! I've been tasked with finding a wiki software that is able to "Install and configure monitoring to log all events such as downloads" I can't seem to find any software that states this as a feature and was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible [10:08] You want to log your company's network traffic? Or to install a wiki which logs all the downloads from the wiki? [10:08] the first would be a bit odd for a wiki [10:09] indeed :-) [10:10] That sentence is all I've been given, from what I understand they want the latter [10:11] hmm [10:12] I know it's an odd request, I guess it's for security so they know who has managed to get certain files but I didn't know if it went against data protection or if it even made sense to have as a feature of their wiki [10:13] enabling google analytics for the wiki could give you quite some information about visitors, they are anonymous though [10:13] WebStatistics? [10:14] well, you can define access rights to topics and files in twiki, but you wan't an extra layer of security on top of that, showing who is actually viewing/downloading content, when? [10:14] The entire wiki will have restricted access so I think they want something like a list of usernames that have downloaded a file [10:14] That's it Terje :-) [10:15] Im not aware of functionality that tracks who downloads files ... i suspect that you have to write some code for that [10:17] I was coming to that conclusion before I joined the IRC, that's probably quite beyond the scope of this project. I just thought there might be an immediate solution out there already but if not then that's fine, thanks very much for your help! [10:17] I guess the web server (for example apache) can track which IP's access which files [10:17] ok, no prob :-) [10:17] Add %X to you log config - see mod_log_config for interpreting the values. [10:18] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2371289/how-to-use-apache-logs-to-check-complete-file-downloads [10:18] i mean [10:22] That's great, I'll get back to my client. TWiki covers all the other features they need and looks like the best software choice, thanks again! [10:22] np [12:41] anyone here? how do i correctly "allow everyone" for a topic [12:41] webpreferences for the web denies a bunch of people, i want to allow everyone for a topic in that web [12:42] Set DENYTOPIC = is deprecated... [12:43] goodmorning [12:43] morning :-) [12:44] Hey Terje hows it going [12:51] James: Well thank you :-) Just sat ~ 10-15 mins writing a support answer, and just before i hit reply it was answered by the guy that was supposed to be on vacation ^^ [12:53] well thats unfourtunate haha [12:53] wouldnt hurt to post your reply as well though, maybe you offer some additional info? [12:55] i did :-) [13:14] Nice [13:37] todays agenda: drop down menu when I hover over a navigation tab [16:27] Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help point me in the right direction for how I can start using twiki. [16:55] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o PeterThoeny [17:06] Attecus is no longer here, but the UsageStatisticsPlugin at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/UsageStatisticsPlugin comes closest to his/her needs [17:07] it shows page access stats by users to admins [17:07] the plugin could be enhanced to do the same for attachments [17:08] questions like should also be handled in the support web on twiki.org [17:08] that way we get a growing knowledge base [17:09] Torqued: simply state your question, someone eventually will answer [17:09] or ask in the support forum on twiki.org [17:18] Hi Peter, for a project I'm working on, I've been asked look into potentially using twiki. I was wondering if there was any example code I could be directed to for twiki [17:19] what needs do you have? [17:19] *** lowkey has left "Leaving" [17:21] we're looking to develop a community for discussing different data sets [17:22] From the examples I've seen, it seems like twiki should be able to suit our needs, I was just having trouble getting started using it [17:23] create a new web for your community [17:23] don't create content in the Main web [17:24] you can use twiki either in the wiki way (organic, unstructured), or in a structured way by creating twiki apps [17:24] for initial use, the wiki way is good [17:26] I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you meant by your first two comments [17:26] Torqued I just started using twiki as a begginer if you have any questions feel free to ask me I might be able to help [17:27] do you have twiki installed and running yet? [17:31] I have twiki installed, though I'm currently working on setting up xampp [17:34] Torqued: in regards to webs, read the tutorial at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiTutorial [17:51] I seem to be having some trouble finsing setup. would you happen to have any experience running twiki locally? [17:56] what do you mean by locally? windows laptop? [17:56] I run twiki off of a virtual RedHat Linux machine using VirtualBox [17:57] the machine im using has ubuntu 12.04 installed [17:59] i currently have xampp on the computer, but i can't get the configure file to run, it just displays as code [17:59] would this be a problem I have with how I've set up xampp? [18:00] or is there something different you'd recommend I use instead to run twiki? [18:01] if you see the code it means your apache config is set to treat the twiki/bin as an html doc dir instead of a script dir [18:01] use the apache config generator to generate the file [18:02] http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/ApacheConfigGenerator [18:08] So, I had used that before, but I suppose I didn't do it properly. [18:11] I currently have a config file called twiki.config located at /opt/lampp/htdocs/twiki [18:14] when I fill out the auto config generator, i use /opt/lampp/htdocs/twiki for the full file path to my twiki root directory, /bin for my bin directory [18:15] have i filled those out incorrectly? [18:20] no, don't expose the twiki root as an html doc root, it would be a security issue [18:21] put the twiki.conf where apache expects conf files [18:22] on redhat this is /etc/httpd/conf.d [18:22] not sure on ubuntu [18:26] I am learning how to set up a cron job to enable mailnotify script in /twiki/tools. Are you allowed to change the date and time after you set it ? [18:26] yes [18:27] cron will simply fire at the time specified [18:27] so I just type "0 0 * * * cd /usr/local/twiki && perl -I bin tools/mailnotify -q Public Private", or something similar at the command line just once, and email service will now be enabled forever ? [18:29] no [18:29] as root do this to list the existing cron: [18:29] crontab -u apache -l [18:29] and this to edit it: [18:29] crontab -u apache -e [18:30] in edit mode, at that line [18:30] "add that line" [18:31] the "-u apache" points to the cron table of the apache user [18:40] ooo it appers to already be there.. "5 0 * * * (Cd /var/www/twiki;perl - I bin tools/mailnotify -q >/dev/null 2>&1) " [18:42] the "cd' needs to be lower case [18:42] so I should be getting emailed at the 12:05 am as it is right now [18:42] yeah sorry i typed it wrong it is lower case [18:42] yes, cron uses local time [18:43] now if my virtual machine is shut off at the particular time, no emails will be sent? [18:52] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o PeterThoeny [18:54] correct [18:56] Alright, I have it set up to run at 3:00 EST everyday, lets see if it runs for the first time in 5 mins.
