If you’ve tried installing Tiki 29 from GitLab or running setup.sh or npm run build, you might notice something new — your server runs out of memory halfway through. What used to work fine with 2 GB RAM now fails unless you have at least 4 GB or more on your Debian/Ubuntu server.

In this short OpenSource Solutions guide, we’ll look at why this happens and how to fix it quickly, either by adding swap memory or upgrading your server’s RAM, so you can complete your Tiki 29 VCS installation smoothly.

• Where to find the online help available once in the edit mode
• An overview of the advanced usages of the Wiki syntax
• The Editing and Plugin control panel parameters and options
• Finally we’ll create together a wiki page using what we’ve just learned

From Tiki Wiki versions 25.x to 27.0 the sitemap feature may generate an incorrect URL for submission to search engines. Specifically, the URL points to tiki-sitemap.php?file=sitemap-index.xml, which can cause errors when submitted to Google Search Console.

To use the sitemap feature, ensure the "Sitemap Protocol" is enabled:

1. Navigate to Settings → Control Panels → General Settings → Navigation Admin Panel (direct URL: /tiki-admin_sitemap.php).
2. Additional settings and explanations about the Tiki sitemap can be accessed via the gear icon (settings button) on the same page.

You will find the URL intended for submission to search engines, but it is incorrect. OpenSource Solutions provides a detailed guide on how to resolve this issue.

Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are among the most disruptive cybersecurity threats faced by businesses and governments alike. These attacks involve overwhelming a system with excessive traffic to render it inaccessible, thereby causing significant service disruptions. While DoS attacks are typically launched from a single source, DDoS attacks leverage a multitude of sources, making them much more difficult to mitigate.

Recent trends indicate a surge in such attacks, with a notable example being the 2023 HTTP/2 protocol exploit that saw major tech giants like Google and Amazon fend off record-breaking levels of traffic.

This article explores these threats and outlines key strategies for mitigating risks, such as the use of DDoS protection services, network security protocols, secure authentication methods, proactive monitoring, and more. By implementing these strategies, businesses can significantly reduce their vulnerability to such attacks and safeguard critical infrastructure.
