OSQA

Installation

Followed the instructions here [1]. Seems to work, using the modified (truncated) passenger_wsgi.py file [2].

Email settings: used mail.stacky.net, port 587 (see this thread [3]) with a user I created through Dreamhost web panel. Checked "Use TLS". This worked (I got a test email), but seems to not work now that I've successfully imported the FTS database.

Importing

went to http://osqa.stacky.net/admin/sximporter, downloaded and selected zipped dump from faketestsite, submitted to get error. Copy of the error log [4]. I think the problem is that there existed a question already. Tried again with new database; worked!

MathJax

Added the line
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://stacky.net/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=MOconfig"></script>
just before </head> in forum/skins/default/templates/base_content.html. That seems to roughly do the trick.

Compatibility

• Need http://osqa.stacky.net/questions/1234 to point to post 1234, even if it is an answer.
• Scott's openid doesn't work.
• admins/mods should be able to add openids for users.
• email recovery option?

Bugs

• close/reopen doesn't show up in revision history ... reloading seems (randomly) toggle closed/opened state! see [5]
• don't get the most recent revision when you click edit [6]
