Style Checks

A Code bit should look good. It is defined in /site/wwwroot/conf/userall.css which should come from D:\Bin\Common\Wiki Site Root Files\conf\userall.css

Plugin Checks

Comment Syntax Plugin

Verify there is nothing after this line.

Tag Plugin

  1. Verify the tags at the bottom of this page are okay.
  2. Click one to verify tag lists are okay.
  3. Try this link.

Pagelist Plugin

This should look okay:

This should look okay:

Move

Ensure there is a paint brush icon with 'Rename Page' attached to this page at the top right.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check the web server can serve an image.
  2. Check the web server can serve a basic PHP page.
  3. Logs. Probably have to enable logging first. Can view either the Portal Log Stream or the Kudu Log Stream. Not sure which works better. Takes a while to come through.

Plugins

Last time it was the plugins that broke the wiki.

  1. [FileZilla] Delete everything from /site/wwwroot/lib/plugins.
  2. [FileZilla] Download a fresh copy of the wiki and upload the plugins directory.
  3. [Browser] Log into wiki as admin, go to the Extension Manager
  4. [Browser] Search and install all the plugins list above.
  5. [Browser] Go to Searchindex Manager, rebuild index.

Rate Limiting the Searchindex Manager plugin

This probably doesn't need to be done, now that the wiki is hosted on Azure.

  1. [Ares] Open wiki/lib/plugins/searchindex/ajax.php in Notepad++.
  2. [Notepad++] Add the sleep line of code near the bottom of the file:
        // do the work
      $success = idx_addPage($_POST['page'], false, $force);
      sleep(5);
  3. [Notepad++] Save new version of the file.
