<div dir="ltr">Frantisek, here is how to find the LocalSettings.php file... Log into your server with SSH. Then go to the directory that holds your wiki. the LocalSettings.php file should be there. You can edit it with vim or another text editor.<div>
<br></div><div>As an example, on my server, I have a wiki in the "k" directory. So the LocalSettings file it is located in ~\<a href="http://lee.org">lee.org</a>\k\ . Of course, your setup will be different, but that's one example.</div>

Hi crw and all,<br>I've a question about the media wiki again. I'm thinking about restricting the account creation to whoever wants to create them to people with some either code or for who we create the account by ourselves. It is more or less three people working on the project now, growing probably soon to 5-10 people and it is just not worth it I think at the moment, the amount of spam is increasing and it takes too much time to clean it (even after installing captcha).<br>
<br>I've found some info how to restrict user rights here<br><br><a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights</a><br><br>but my major issue is that I do not know where to find the LocalSettings.php file or how to open it? I'm not very good with the online stuff, I guess opening it with vim (which I know) should be fine but
how to find the source file I'm not sure and my mates are quite on the topic now ... I'm not sure if there is some graphic option for this could not find anything.<br><br>Here is the link to our special pages changes and you can see it is getting out of hand<br>
