Hello,
I have been testing the $wgReadOnly and $wgReadOnlyFile options. My
understanding is that these will prevent mediawiki from writing to the
database and hence not allow pages to be updated. I have tried both
options on servers running mediawiki 1.19.2 and 1.24.0 - neither option
on either server seems to work. In all cases I am still able to modify
wiki pages.
For the $wgReadOnlyFile option I created the file with some plain text
in it, and change the ownership to that of the web server (apache).
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong here? I intend to
use the file option for wiki backups, but obviously don't want people
updating things while the backup is occurring.
John.
