Topic: WIKI Installation problems

[lewinskys]

Ok #1.... I have a long way to go to learn Linux.

I have installed SME Server and it is networked. Running on a Compaq Proliant 1600 server. I am trying to get a WIKI Server running here. And honestly, I have gotten no where real quick. I have tried the manual that I found somewhere on this site for the installation. But I think it is assuming I know alot more about Linux than I actually do. Does anyone have more of a "Holding hands" type of Document for the beginner that says to type this, DL that, etc?? I really don't know who I'm to be logged in as, what directory to work out of, terminal vs remote console. SOOO Confused here.
If anyone has any helpful Documents or would like to help through email even.
Thank you

First think you need to do is supply a bit more info...

Which Wiki are you trying to install?

Which iBay are you installing it in?

What have you done and what problems are you having?

People will help but they need some real infomation from you to provide that help.

Hi,


I'm using mediawiki-1.6.3.tar.gz (download that file from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki)

Create a database. Login as root.

Code: [Select]


At the prompt type: mysql
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wiki;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wiki.* TO wiki@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit;

(choose your own password surrounded by '...')

• Create an Ibay e.g. "wiki"
• Enable "Public access..." and "Execution of dynamic ..."
• Go to the directory /html and delete the "index.html" file
• Untar mediawiki-1.6.3.tar.gz in the /html directory (tar -zxvf mediawiki-1.6.3.tar.gz)

Go to the site (http://you.domain.com/wiki) and follow the instructions

It should work now.
