If you want to stop any network user to surf your

In addition, you can configure the wiki to let only your local user access any
pages in any way, and then configure a (probably not very secure) auto-login
for localhost. At the end of your LocalSettings, try:
### User permissions: take all privileges from anonymous users
$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Special:Userlogin", "-",
"MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# not secure but good enough :-)
$wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][] = 'authenticateLocalUser';
function authenticateLocalUser($user) {
global $wgServer;
if ($wgServer == 'http://localhost') {
$user = User::newFromName('yourusername');
}
}
where you replace "yourusername" with the actual user. Similar settings also
work nicely if you still want to allow yourself or some others to access your
wiki remotely, which is not possible when completely blocking the wiki with a
firewall.
Cheers,

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is a bit too naive, and wether its a FAQ or a
completely new stupid question.
I would like to setup a wiki on my notebook for my study and research
notes and book excerpts. Puzzling around with hundreds of text files is
quite unsatisfactory. Besides, having used wikipedia online for a while
my way of thinking started to be wikified ;-)
Currently I work with didiwiki, but this has a poor search algorithm
that's even case sensitive, it doesn't support formula etc.
I would like to have mediawiki on localhost, accessing it from
localhost, and don't allow anybody else in the network to use it (guess
a firewall is enough?).
I read the installation procedure, but it appears it is more for people
having some network background.
I've installed the php packages etc. via apt-get (I'm using Ubuntu 5.10
Breezy, with Gnome), but I don't get that thing to work.
I'd very much appreciate some "mediawiki for idiots" instructions about
how to make my personal wiki run.
Best regards,
John
P.S.: I wouldn't need a complete page history. saving just the last 2-3
edits would be enough.
