Re: Wiki recommendation?

Hey all, Thanks much for the recommendations. I'll check them out. We don't need fine grained control over access; basically admins that can modify content and the public who cannot. But right now DocuWiki is sounding good, and I'd rather, for some strange reason, not use a DB, although I can't justify that in any rational way. I mean, MySQL is already on the machine. Thanks again! Skip TG wrote:

A while back I set up a TikiWiki for a client. I think I liked it better than any of the other wikis I've messed with. But honestly, I didn't get to use it much and I've only ever used Mediawiki to any real length. Definitely give it a look, though. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan Tapicer <tapicer@gmail.com> To: aurfalien@gmail.com Cc: Skip Evans <skip@bigskypenguin.com>, "php-general@lists.php.net" <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:54:07 -0300 Subject: Re: [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

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!!! 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
