Overview
Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and there is a MySQL database backend.
Manual Administrative Tasks
The following sections describe tasks that individuals with root access may need to perform on rare occasions.
Deleting a Pad
On occasion it may be necessary to delete a pad, so as to redact sensitive or illegal data posted to it (the revision history it keeps makes this harder than just clearing the current contents through a browser). This is fairly easily accomplished via the HTTP API, but you need the key which is saved in a file on the server so it's easiest if done when SSH'd into it locally:
wget -qO- 'http://localhost:9001/api/1/deletePad?apikey='$(cat \
/opt/etherpad-lite/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt)'&padID=XXXXXXXXXX'
...where XXXXXXXXXX is the pad's name as it appears at the end of its URL. If all goes well, you should receive a response like:
{"code":0,"message":"ok","data":null}
Browse to the original pad's URL and you should now see the fresh welcome message boilerplate for a new pad. Check the pad's history and note that it has no authors and no prior revisions.
