How do I...Enable the new control panel?

Starting with Kilen Woods, MindTouch Deki contains a new control panel, which must be enabled through a modification of the Apache's Rewrite Rules. For the Kilen Woods release, we will keep the old administration files in place as a fallback, but subsequent releases will have these files removed.

To enable the new control panel, locate your Apache configuration file (on the VMs, it is located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/dekiwiki). Then, locate the lines which contain folders to be excluded. It will look something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(@api|editor|skins|config|@gui)/

Modify this by appending the folder deki-cp:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(@api|editor|skins|config|@gui|deki-cp)/

You may also need to add index.php to your dir_module settings, by adding this section in the same file:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>

Restart Apache (on the VMs: "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart") and your new control should now be active!
