TWiki has a few important configuration files. They are listed and discussed here in further detail. While TWiki uses version control to track everything done in the wiki, the configuration files are not part of that tracking system, so we keep those config files in our subversion serverfiles project. Thus, the latest copies of all these files should be in the SVN serverfiles directory. Whenever you make a change, please update the SVN repository.

SVN serverfiles Repository

• The latest copies of all these files should be in the SVN serverfiles directory
• Each server should have it's own files archived here. Click on the link and you'll see.
• If you make a change to a config file on a server, update the SVN with your latest file!
• Don't know how to use SVN? Look here: SvN?

the configuration files:

• /etc/httpd/conf.d/twiki.conf -- put all the apache configuration directives for twiki here
• twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg -- the main one, where you enable plugins, etc.
• twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg -- auxiliary
• twiki/tools/mod_perl_startup.pl -- used for mod perl preloading, called from twiki.conf

customizing the logo (PatternSkin)

• to modify the logo on one particular web, follow the instructions on: PatternSkin Logo customization under "using a new filename" (you will need to edit the file WebPreferences of your particular web) Site wide (all webs)
  
• on dayz, set up a People page http://dayz.mcs.csueastbay.edu/twiki/bin/view/People/TWikiPreferences NOTE that this is not a normal procedure. People should already exist. Because we deleted the main web after the installation, we didn't have this file. I copied the file from the mpdl installation, saved it in the dayz installation and modified it as appropriate.
• followed instruction on: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/PatternSkinCustomization#Logo after "Redefine your custom variables"
• also added to this file: Set WIKILOGOIMG = /twiki/pub/LabPrimer/WebPreferences//twiki/pub/Ahatwiki/AhatLogos/ahat-logo-40x45-t.gif
• note that the default skin assumes logo is 40px high

• Webmin with SSL
• we're also now using usermin, which is really helping students in 3520 get started. hmmmm...
