[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-5548) Access to modify mysql tables and php scripts for wiki.openoffice.org

["Andrea Pescetti (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13502337#comment-13502337 ] 

Andrea Pescetti commented on INFRA-5548:
----------------------------------------

This proposal has been discussed on the ooo-dev mailing list, in the thread "Re: [Mwiki] New accounts by invitation only?" and has consensus.

Note that the first step will just be to change one line in LocalSettings.php and it won't involve other changes or httpd restarts.

However, committer Jan Iversen (jani) should be given the privileges needed to perform all tasks he described. More or less, they should be equivalent to the privileges that imacat has on that machine.

> we (apache open office) need to maintain our media wiki site (wiki.openoffice.org) because:
> - we are under heavy spam attach
> - the version is no longer supported from mediawiki.
> The tasks to be done are:
> - upgrade to new version (requires access to change php files)
> - remove old inactive users and user created by spam attachers (requires mysql root access)
> - modify localSettings.php to disable spam attachers from creating accounts.
> - restart apache server (to activate the php changes)
> I will do these tasks, and afterwards to regular maintenance. If possible I would prefer to have my user granted access to the items needed, and not have root access.
