The service type determines what kind of application will be made available at the service url. So, for example, if you choose a svn (subversion) type you will get a subversion repository, if you choose moin you will get a moinmoin wiki.
The name has several restrictions because it is used to locate your service (in links). The service name:
See the section on services in the documentation for more information about project services.
Note that the type of service cannot be changed after the service has been created. If you would like a different type of service, simply create another service of a different type, and then delete the unwanted service. For more information about the different types of service see the documentation or contact the {{ systemServiceName }} service administrator.
The list of available service types is directly adjusted by enabling and disabling KForge plugins. When enabling a KForge plugin for the first time, please ensure external software applications are installed okay and that KForge is configured accordingly. It's often worth testing newly installed plugins by creating a test service and checking it over.
The 'kforge-admin plugin' command can be used to list all the available plugins, and to enable and disable individual plugins. Individual help messages for each plugin are available, containing details of external software dependencies and KForge configuration adjustments.
For example, to list all the available plugins on your system:
$ kforge-admin plugin list
For example, to read about how to use Subversion in KForge:
$ kforge-admin plugin doc svn | less
For example, to enable the Subversion plugin:
$ kforge-admin plugin enable svn
For example, to disable the Subversion plugin:
$ kforge-admin plugin disable svn
Substitute 'svn' with any of the available plugins on your system (for example 'trac'). If in doubt or in trouble, please seek help on the kforge-user mailing list.
