Problem inputing shell commands in Wiki

Added by Michele Stuart about 15 years ago

Hi. I'm loving Redmine so far, but have run into one issue. I am trying to use the Wiki to share technical documentation with my team, which often includes Unix commands. I think the problem I'm running into is with the "/" character.

For example, this works:

      cd foo

But this does not:

      cd /foo

With the "/" I get this error when I try to preview or save:

Method Not Implemented
POST to /wiki/cms/Test_page/preview not supported.

I've tried using a "\" as an escape, tried quotes, tried code tags, and tried the textile "==" tags. All to no avail. I can't help but notice that I seem to be able to include the character in this forum post with no problem; does anybody know if I should be able to do this in the Wiki?

Thanks!

Michele

Hrm. I just tried it and it worked for me.

h1. Test page

cd foo
cd /foo

<pre>
cd foo
cd /foo
</pre>

@cd foo@
@cd /foo@

That's the code I tried and ran into no issues. Hrm.

Well, just knowing that it's supposed to work is helpful. Perhaps I've mucked something up somewhere along the line. I had considered a version issue, but I'm using Redmine stable 0.8 and Rails 2.1.2, which should be right, based on the environment.rb file in the stable branch. I will update when I find the answer. If there's anything in particular you think I should look at, please let me know. And thanks for checking this out.

Found it! Nothing to do with Redmine at all. Modsecurity on the proxy server in front of Redmine thinks this is a "System Command Injection" attack.

Thank you for your help!
