How to install on DECF |
- Do you have a website hosted by DECF? If not, email
consult@newton.berkeley.edu. We will set up your website for you and
tell you what your webroot is.
- Assuming your webroot is
/var/www/html/htdocs-groups/test
- ssh into kepler.berkeley.edu
%> umask 022
%> cd /var/www/html/htdocs-groups/test
%> mkdir -p wiki/local
%> chmod 2777 wiki
%> cd wiki
%> cp /var/www/html/htdocs-decf/wiki/index.php ./
%> cp /var/www/html/htdocs-decf/wiki/local/config.php local/
%> cd local/
- Use your favorite editor such as pico to edit the config.php file.
You MUST modify the config file or else you will have issues
with your setup!
- Now go to your website: http://website.berkeley.edu/wiki/ to check
it out. PmWiki will create your local directories in the backend.
- cd ../
- chmod 755 ./
- If you're setting up your wiki for a research group or student
group, you probably need your web permissions set up differently than
if you're doing a personal wiki installation. Email
consult@newton.berkeley.edu and let them know you want to change the
group permission on your wiki install and we'll set up the permissions
properly for you.
- Go to PmWiki's website or DECF's PmWiki installation to read up on
how to modify your wiki.
- Be sure to read up on how to secure your PmWiki installation. The
default PmWiki install is password protected so if you did not look
through your config.php file you cannot make edits to the page. For
security info, see http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Security
- Visit the sample PmWiki installations on campus to see how other
people have done it.
- If you want to do any customization for PmWiki, be sure to create the directories you need and download any scripts/themes, etc into the right directory. The directory structures are:
wiki/
`-- cookbook/
|-- index.php
|-- local/
| `-- config.php
|-- pub/
| `-- skins/
`-- scripts/
`-- wiki.d/
|
