Stuff on how the servers work

Apple devices on site

For some reason best known only to Apple, their devices don't want to connect to a network that doesn't have a default gateway they can reach. Back in Preston, the gateway is their router (10.0.0.2), but that's not reachable from the field.

DHCP is run on gonzo. The config file is: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf Near the top you will find a section looking like this: 

# this for on site
# option routers 10.0.0.5;
# this for at the office
  option routers 10.0.0.2;

Uncomment the 10.0.0.5 line and comment out the 10.0.0.2 line. Then restart the dhcpd daemon using systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server

This needs reversing before shutting down the server ready to leave site.

Changing a Wiki User password

Ideally, they go to the password reset page - https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empireplotwiki/Special:PasswordReset for the plot wiki - and that works.

If not, ssh in:

  • SSH into the server
  • Go to the directory for the wiki:
    • Plot Wiki cd /var/www/html/mediawiki-crew-empire
    • Public Wiki cd /var/www/html/mediawiki-public
    • Crew Wiki cd /var/www/html/mediawiki-crew-pd
  • Run the script: php maintenance/changePassword.php --user=USERS_USER_NAME --password=VERY_SECURE_NEW_PASSWORD

That's it.

Clearing a wiki cache

ssh in, go to the directory for the wiki (same as above)

Then run: php maintenance/purgeList.php --all -v

Adding a page to the dropdowns

Simply add it to the list in Imperial:TitleBar
