The plugin system is currently(05/04/2012, if you see this post when it’s available on the master branch please remind me to remove this part..) only available on the development branch, to get this visit your etherpad lite folder and type:

git checkout develop

Edit your settings.json adding the lines:

 /* This setting is used if you need http basic auth */
  // "httpAuth" : "user:pass",

  /* This setting is used for http basic auth for admin pages. If not set, the admin page won't be accessible from web*/
  "adminHttpAuth" : "user:pass",

Change the user and pass to something secure.

Visit the available_plugins folder and get a plugin, this plugin for example disables the ability to modify the author name.

cd available_plugins
npm install ep_disable_change_author_name

NOTE: You do NOT have to use the shell for installing plugins, the web interface also provides a search tool. I just left this here for posterity and because you are already in the shell.

Visit the admin interface on http://yourserver.com/admin/plugins and make sure the plugin is installed Enjoy!

Etherpad uses Javascript in NodeJS. You should ask your web host if they support NodeJS and if they have a guide for you to get started deploying NodeJS apps to their hosting.

Here are some services that can provide web/Node hosting for you to test/play with:

The owner of the site is called “Prasanna Sankaranarayanan” and is ignoring emails from myself, his users and the Etherpad foundation.

Alarm bells rang over 6 months ago at the Etherpad foundation when Prasanna refused to contribute any of his source to the Etherpad project and did not place an SLA or any legal documentation on the website. Due to this iEtherpad.com was not included in the public sites section of Etherpad.org

So who recommended iEtherpad.com?
A bunch of people, and I told them not to but I was obviously biased but mheh. What can I do if people don’t listen? Now I’m recieving emails from people saying they have lost their work.. Three things here:

1. Your work was not covered by an SLA
2. You should have had your work backed up
3. If you want to an SLA covered Etherpad service see PrimaryPad

So what’s going on with your data?
You have probably lost it, but go knock on Hawthorne Labs inbox. Hawthorne Labs is a company Prasanna founded and if they run that company the same way they have run iEtherpad.com then they are bound to have some sad customers and probably an inbox full of complaints and/or law suits.

Make a stand people also be aware that you should be saving local copies of your work and remember that if there is no SLA in place the company doesn’t have to help you.
