I am happy for the help, Clayton has already giving me lot of information, instead of me having to dig it out. It is also securing to have a helping hand in the background who know our wiki very well.
Is there a gentle way, to make Infra do the last bit, so I can get access, as far as I can see it is 2 simple things: - Copy my ssh public key to the wiki server - Provide the mysql root password I am a bit afraid of this long US weekend, and hope we do not have to wait until next week.
