This is Greg's test wiki. Is it not spiffy? You might check the BashFaq page first. Also see the BashPitfalls page, or DotFiles, or ["Permissions"]. ----

Interesting starting points: As of April 2014, this wiki runs on a Debian virtual private server with [[http://nginx.org/|nginx]] and [[http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/|uWSGI]]. In December 2012, this wiki was moved to the same Debian virtual private server with Apache2 and mod_wsgi. Prior to that, it ran on an OpenBSD box with a very slow Internet connection, using [[http://moinmo.in/HowTo/ApacheWithCherryPy|CherryPy]] with Apache rewriting magic to help out. Prior to ''that'', it ran on the same box using the "twisted" package (instructions for that no longer exist!), with a simpler Apache reverse proxy pointing to it.
