<p>Sydon: /* Introduction */ databases what er word gestored weggehaald irrelevant, paar zinnen gefixt.</p> <hr /> <div>==Introduction==<br /> Many of our users use the same popular software to run their website. However, as is common in popular and widespread software, various bugs or errors can occur in the program. These flaws can be exploited by hackers to gain access to websites or databases. <br /> <br /> Whenever a new update is released for any popular software (e.g., WordPress, MediaWiki, Joomla) hackers will find out which security flaws have been patched, and using this knowledge, they try to find users who haven't updated their software, to gain access to the websites or databases. This is the reason why it is so critical to update the software itself, plugins, themes, or any related software as soon as the updates roll out. To help facilitate this and prevent security breaches, we have created a tool, the Software Version Checker, to help you keep the most commonly used software up-to-date. Currently, this feature is only active if you have an organization or student union account.<br /> ==What to do when you receive an e-mail==<br /> When you receive an e-mail from the Software Version Checker, it is of utmost importance to update the software mentioned in the e-mail. It is also the best time to check if the other software you use is up-to-date. As mentioned below, our tool does not check all software.<br /> <br /> You can find more information [[Updating WordPress|here]] on how to automate this for WordPress to save a lot of time and effort. Since updating MediaWiki can be a somewhat daunting process, we have made a more detailed guide available on [[Updating MediaWiki]]. <br /> ==Supported Software==<br /> Sadly not every piece of software can be supported. Because of this, we have decided to choose the most popular software, since they are more likely to get security breaches. <br /> *Drupal (including modules and themes) <br /> *Joomla (Plugins are not supported) <br /> *MediaWiki (MediaWiki Extensions and Themes are not supported)<br /> *phpBB (including plugins and styles) <br /> *WordPress (including plugins and themes)<br /> ==Functionality of the Software Version Checker==<br /> The Software Version Checker fulfills the following functions : <br /> *Scan relevant files, detect supported software, and store in database<br /> *Check the version and validity of outdated software<br /> *Notify accounts that are using outdated software<br /> The Software Version Checker does this once every day.<br /> <br /> ==Ignoring specific software==<br /> The Software Version Checker has a feature that allows to specify paths that the Software Version Checker will not search. If you believe you have software that should be ignored (for example certain custom plugins or themes), you are free to e-mail a request to ulyssis@ulyssis.org. Please list your account name, the location of the specific file(s), the nature of what is being detected, and a detailed description of the specific situation.<br /> ==Ignoring Organisations/Student Unions==<br /> The Software Version Checker also allows our users to ignore specific Organisations or Student Unions entirely. This feature is possible on request, but only after extensive deliberation with ULYSSIS. Enabling this feature also has possible consequences; no more mails about software that is outdated, unless it is enabled on request, and no possible support if the user's account gets hacked. If the account does get hacked it will be suspend immediately.</div>

<p>Sydon: /* Installation */</p> <hr /> <div>This page will go through a basic setup of MediaWiki. It is based on [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Installing_MediaWiki|the official MediaWiki installation wikipage]], and it gives a few specifics for setting it up on a hosted account over at ULYSSIS. <br /> <br /> == Prerequisites==<br /> This tutorial assumes that you have [https://cyberduck.io/ Cyberduck] installed. A guide on how to install and use Cyberduck can be found on [[Accessing your files]]. You will also have to download the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download MediaWiki installation files]. We recommend using either the latest version or the long-term support (LTS) version.<br /> <br /> == Installation ==<br /> As mentioned in the Prerequisites, we will be using Cyberduck for the installation of MediaWiki. Make sure you are logged in to your ULYSSIS account and that you see the following screen after opening Cyberduck [[File:OpenCyberduck.png|left|thumb|400x400px|Open Cyberduck]]<br /> In this tutorial, we will install our MediaWiki in the www folder. We can do this by double clicking the folder.<br /> [[File:GoToWWW.png|left|thumb|394x394px|Go to the WWW folder]]<br /> We are now ready to upload the necessary files for the MediaWiki installation. This can be done by clicking the 'Upload' button at the top of the Cyberduck window. A pop-up should appear on your screen. <br /> [[File:ClickOnUpload.png|left|thumb|Click on the upload button]]<br /> Navigate to the folder in which the installation files are stored. Select them and click on 'Choose' on the bottom right of the pop-up.<br /> [[File:SelectMediaWikiZIP.png|left|thumb|Select the MediaWiki zip]]<br /> The upload process wil now start automatically. Incase you get another pop-up, be sure to click &quot;Allow&quot;, otherwise the files will not be uploaded.<br /> [[File:WindowPopup.png|left|thumb|Click allow]]<br /> After the upload is completed, you should get a window which looks like this:<br /> [[File:WaitUntilComplete.png|left|thumb|Wait until the upload is complete]]<br /> In the main Cyberduck window, you should be able to see the MediaWiki file you just uploaded. To unzip this file, just right click it and choose 'expand archive'. <br /> [[File:RightClick ExpandArchive.png|left|thumb|405x405px|Right click on the zip and choose expand archive]]<br /> This process might take a while, you can verify the progress by looking at the bottom part of the Cyberduck window. <br /> [[File:ProgressBottomWindow.png|left|thumb|411x411px|The progress can be found on the bottom of the window]]<br /> Select everything in the new MediaWiki folder and move it out of the folder.<br /> [[File:SelectEverything.png|left|thumb|379x379px|Select everything in the MediaWiki folder]]<br /> Delete the zip file and the original folder by right clicking and choosing delete<br /> [[File:DeleteOGfiles.png|left|thumb|Delete the zip file and the original folder]]<br /> Now we'll go to UCC and create a database for our mediawiki installation. (if this is your first time making a database, we reccomend our documentation on [[Using MySQL]])<br /> [[File:GoToUCC.png|left|thumb|Go to UCC|560x560px]]<br /> Choose the 'Add database' option just below your username. This should bring you to a page which looks like this. We reccomend naming your database 'wiki'.<br /> [[File:CreateDB.png|left|thumb|Create a new MySQL database|568x568px]]<br /> You are now ready to configure your new wiki at username.ulyssis.be . To start, click on the 'set up the wiki' hyperlink.<br /> [[File:GoToWiki.png|left|thumb|578x578px|Go to your wiki at username.ulyssis.be]]You will be prompted to set your prefered language.<br /> [[File:SetLanguage.png|left|thumb|585x585px|Set your language ]]<br /> This is where the real installation begins. We can just click 'continue'.<br /> [[File:InstallPage.png|left|thumb|588x588px|This is the beginning of the installation ]]<br /> We will first configure the database we just created. This is specific to your personal configuration, an example has been given below.<br /> [[File:ConfigureDB.png|left|thumb|592x592px|Configure the database in MediaWiki]]<br /> Once the database has been configured, you can just click 'continue'. On the following page, make sure the checkbox is checked and click 'continue' again. <br /> [[File:DBSettings.png|left|thumb|600x600px|Database settings in MediaWiki]]<br /> We now get promted to choose a wiki name (you can choose this to be whatever you want), we also have to make the administrator account. <br /> [[File:WikiSettings.png|left|thumb|601x601px|Configure the final MediaWiki settings]]<br /> Once everything has been created, you should land on the following page. You don't have to configure anything on this page. <br /> [[File:InstalationPage.png|left|thumb|596x596px|This is the final install page]]<br /> When the MediaWiki installation has been confirmed, you will have to download the 'LocalSettings.php' file. This file contains the essential settings for your MediaWiki instance to work properly.<br /> [[File:DownloadLocalSettings.png|left|thumb|607x607px|Download LocalSettings.php]]<br /> Upload LocalSettings.php via cyberduck to the same folder where you placed the MediaWiki files. <br /> [[File:UploadLocalSettings.png|left|thumb|Upload LocalSettings.php]]<br /> You can now open a new tab, and go to username.ulyssis.be . You should be able to see your new wiki.<br /> [[File:OpenNewTab.png|left|thumb|486x486px|Open a new tab and go to username.ulyssis.be]]<br /> For further support, we recccomend the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide official MediaWiki documentation.]</div>

These system flaws can be exploited by hackers to gain access to websites or databases connected to the CMS'.<br /> <br /> Whenever a new update is released for a CMS or any other popular software (E.g., MediaWiki, PhPBB) hackers will find out which security flaws have been patched, and with this knowledge, they try to find new systems flaws to gain access to the websites or databases. This is the reason why it is so critical to update a CMS, plugins, themes, or any related software as soon as the updates roll out. To help you facilitate this, we have created a tool to help you keep the most used software up-to-date. Currently, this feature is only active if you have an organization or student (dutch = Kring/Facultair overlegorgaan) account.<br /> <br /> oud: <br /> <br /> Content Management Systems, or CMSs, are easy tools to set up a website without requiring much programming or configuration. However, as is common in a lot of popular and wide-spread software, bugs or errors in the code occur. These errors can be exploited by hackers to gain access to websites or databases connected to those CMSs. Whenever a new update for a CMS, or other popular software (MediaWiki, PhpBB) is released, hackers will know which security flaws have been fixed, and try to hack websites using this knowledge. This is why it's critical to update a CMS, plugins/themes, or any related software as soon as the update comes out. To help you facilitate this, we have created a tool to help you keep the most popular software up-to-date. Currently this feature is only active if you have an organisation or student union (kring/facultair overlegorgaan) account.<br /> ==I received an e-mail!==<br /> If you receive an e-mail from the Version Checker, it's best you update the software mentioned in the e-mail as soon as possible. Make sure to download the latest public version, not just any newer version. It's also best to check if any other software you run is up-to-date: not all software is checked by the tool (as seen below).<br /> ==Supported Software==<br /> *Drupal, Drupal Modules, Drupal Themes<br /> *Joomla (Joomla Plugins are not supported yet)<br /> *MediaWiki (MediaWiki Extensions and Themes are not supported yet)<br /> *PhpBB, PhpBB Plugins, PhpBB Styles<br /> *WordPress, WordPress Plugins, WordPress Themes<br /> ==Operation==<br /> In general, the Version Checker does the following:<br /> *Scan relevant files, detect supported software, and store in database<br /> *Check the version and validity of outdated software<br /> *Mail accounts using outdated software<br /> ==Stored Data==<br /> The following data is stored in the database:<br /> *The location of the CMS, plugin/extension or theme<br /> *The responsible organisation or student union (kring/facultair overlegorgaan)<br /> *The detected software version<br /> *The type and name of the software<br /> *The update URL for the software<br /> *The date the entry was added<br /> ==Ignored Paths==<br /> The Version Checker has a feature allowing ULYSSIS members to specify paths that will not be searched for software. If you believe you have software that should be ignored (for example certain custom plugins or themes), you are free to e-mail a request to ulyssis@ulyssis.org. Please list your account name, the location of the specific file(s), the nature of what is being detected, and a detailed description of the specific situation.<br /> ==Ignored Organisations/Student Unions==<br /> In addition to the ignored paths feature, the Version Checker can also ignore specific Organisations or Student Unions entirely. This feature is possible on request, but only after extensive deliberation with ULYSSIS. Enabling this feature also carries possible consequences: no more mails about outdated software, ever (unless enabled on request), and no support if/when your account gets hacked (the account will be suspended immediately).</div>
