DokuWiki is a wiki that stores data in plain files and to priviledge distinct users for viewing articles.
Contents
Website
DokuWiki's website is http://www.dokuwiki.org/
Installing
This example shows how to install dokuwiki on your local computer. It has been tested with SUSE Linux 11.2-12.1.
You will need a running php-enabled http service, open a console and enter:
yast -i apache2 apache2-mod_php5 <html><acronym title="this package will allow plugin manager to extract plugins">php5_zlib</acronym></html> /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Then download the dokuwiki package and unpack it to /srv/www/htdocs/dokuwiki.
cp Downloads/dokuwiki-2011-05-25a.tgz /srv/www/htdocs cd /srv/www/htdocs tar xvzf dokuwiki-* mv dokuwiki-* dokuwiki
Change the owner of the directories to the web server:
chown -R wwwrun:www dokuwiki
Then surf to http://localhost/dokuwiki/install.php
TroubleShooting
If you get an error message like this:
{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/dokuwiki/data/pages is not writable by DokuWiki. You need to fix the permission settings of this directory!
First make sure you know DOCUMENT_ROOT, let's assume it is /srv/www/htdocs. Then do a
chmod -R 777 /srv/www/htdocs
If this does not help, you may have safe_mode turned on. You can find this out with the command
grep -ir "safe_mode" /etc/apache2/*
In this case, apache only reads files that its user owns. Solution can be to chown all files to the user apache is running under. In one case, under Ubuntu, the solution was:
chown -R sw-cp-server:crontab /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/dokuwiki/data/
Redirect
To make what mediawiki calls a redirect, use the goto plugin: http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:goto
Hints
make it similar to mediawiki
template
Use the monobook that resembles to mediawiki
- download the monobook template from http://www.dokuwiki.org/template:monobook, as of 2012-01-06 this went like:
lib/tpl # wget --no-check-certificate http://andreas-haerter.com/downloads/dokuwiki-template-monobook/latest-update
- extract it to lib/tpl
lib/tpl # tar xvf 2011-12-10_monobook-update.tar.gz
- rename it to default
lib/tpl # mv default/ default-save lib/tpl # mv monobook/ default
- set admin -> Configuration Settings -> Load 'monobook/user/user.js'
- adapt :wiki:navigation to contain
* [[:start]] * [[http://yourhost/dokuwiki/doku.php?do=recent|Recent Changes]] * [[http://yourhost/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki&do=admin&page=statistics|Statistics]]
syntax
- install the MediaSyntax plugin
URL rewriting
Want a pretty URL like www.foo.com/products instead of www.foo.com/doku.php?id=products?
See http://www.dokuwiki.org/rewrite
pcre
There are a lot of issues regarding pcre. One is that you may not be able to log in if you have not compiled pcre with the option --enable-utf8. So, here is how to compile pcre to work with dokuwiki:
./configure --enable-utf8 && make -j8 && make install
TroubleShooting
Plugin cannot be unpacked
Symptom:
The plugin manager was unable to decompress the downloaded file. This maybe as a result of a bad download, in which case you should try again; or the compression format may be unknown, in which case you will need to download and install the plugin manually.
Solution: Install the zlib package for php, e.g. php5-zlib
