Don't delete, expand!
Instead of marking important articles for deletion, mark them as stubs, and start expanding the content. — yngwin 09:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If for 6 months the author and nobody else expands the article, i think it's better for the wiki to delete the article. The wiki is no link farm for other sites.
 * Also the marking gives the article some time, where someone can step up. And even after the deletion everybody can recreate the article. Astaecker 09:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * True. I agree that our wiki is no link farm. But better than deleting the article, is making a start to expand it into something useful. That way we will make our wiki more succesful.
 * At least, that's what I'm trying. And I hope others will join the effort... — yngwin (wiki admin) 10:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's my goal, too. I work on the articles I'm interested in. Maintaince work on other articles is also OK. But this article (just a link) shouldn't be created in the first place. And for 6 months nobody stepped up to expand it. So I'm for deleting such articles.
 * Your additions changes the situation a bit. There's still not a lot information in the article itself, but I can the external resources are helpful, I guess.
 * Astaecker 10:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Understood. Actually, when it's only a link to an external resource, I think we can simply remove the page. No need for a notice and one month waiting period — it's not like the author put any real work in it.
 * But when I come across such cases, as here (and it seems it could become a useful article), then I first look if I can start expanding it. — yngwin (wiki admin) 10:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

perl & cgi
i know perl and cgi on other systems where its not cut out, well enough to setup webapps, not well under gentoo. could someone more knowledgeable set the perl & cgi stuff please? this is what i have so far. 666threesixes666 (talk) 19:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC) i did use cgi examples on the bugzilla wiki. i need to smooth some things out on that page and mark it requested for translation. the bugzilla shows how to assign cgi execution for arbitrary directories, and i think that is an essential function of apache that should be added..

cgi example
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.pl

and now you're a cgi pro

blurry lines
these ideas / subjects should probably have gw 2 gw inter wiki links.

site building tips
i think its suffice to say that with several hosting programs, we should have some sort of reference internally of site building tips.

like example.com/favicon.ico must be 16x16 & exported by [gimp] as a mswindows icon format for a website icon in firefox tabs / bookmark icon. http to https migrations. locking down websites with fail2ban / sshguard dynamic firewall programs.666threesixes666 (talk) 04:47, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

= email =

email will hello as localhost.localdomain if not added before local host statements. ie

/etc/hosts 10.10.12.12 www.example.com example.com 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

works....

still i get my emails spammed because of no ssl on my site. my forums looking pretty good though. mybb has mad powers and mad plugins. im aware of this from centos hosting problems with that, and phpmail im still having problems with emails being sent out as apache@www.example.com & the documents here are simply lacking in these regards.

= Enabling php support =

I don't know if this is due to some misconfiguration of my box. Can somebody confirm it ? For me this file doesn't exist and the "bug" can be reproduced.
