- | = DokuWiki Installation and Configuration = | + | qbisctxbsn/dt/qvc/sp, <a href=" |
- | + | ||
- | [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki|DokuWiki]] is one of the [[http:// | + | |
- | * it is file-based (no database required); | + | |
- | * installation and configuration is a breeze, especially for a manual installation (grabbing the source code, unzip and configure); | + | |
- | * it uses a namespace-based structure, allowing for easy organization of information; | + | |
- | * its community develops a lot of useful [[http:// | + | |
- | * it is, in my opinion, very usable: the interface, the editing features, information organization, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | That being said, let's move on to the requirements and installation steps. | + | |
- | == User Requirements == | + | |
- | + | ||
- | DokuWiki is highly configurable and customizable and I'm going to define the features that are to be used by a wiki installation. These are the features I'm usually going for when doing a DokuWiki installation, | + | |
- | * The wiki is to be installed by a non-priviliged users using their own "user directory" | + | |
- | * The wiki is public: everyone can read its contents and only certain users may edit it, after logging in (through the use of ACLs). | + | |
- | * Create index pages for easy access to information. This is achieved with the help of the [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin: | + | |
- | * The wiki will use "pretty" | + | |
- | * The wiki will enable [[http:// | + | |
- | * The wiki will define a {{{contrib}}} namespace that is world-writable. | + | |
- | * The wiki will define an {{{internal}}} namespace that is readable/ | + | |
- | * The wiki enables HTTPS-access to login/ | + | |
- | * The wiki enables LDAP authentication (optional - one must have access to a LDAP service). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | == Install and Upgrade Scripts == | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Mircea Bardac and me have created a set of scripts for installation, | + | |
- | * Issue the following command to get a copy of the repository< | + | |
- | git clone http:// | + | |
- | </code> | + | |
- | * Browse to the {{{dokuwiki/ | + | |
- | * Instructions below are also present in the {{{README}}} file in the {{{dokuwiki/ | + | |
- | == Basic Installation and Configuration == | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | === Using the Install Scripts === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | # Find the desired DokuWiki version for download. Use this [[http:// | + | |
- | # Run the install {{{dw-install}}} script. It requires three arguments: | + | |
- | ## the installation folder for {{{dokuwiki}}}; | + | |
- | ## the DokuWiki tarball download URL; ({{{http:// | + | |
- | ## the future DokuWiki URL. ({{{http:// | + | |

- | Installation complete. | + | |
- | 1. Open in web browser: http:// | + | |
- | 2. Fill required information to complete the basic installation. | + | |
- | 3. Remove / | + | |
- | 4. Run: | + | |
- | | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | # Open install URL (as mentioned in step 1 of the post-install message) and configure DokuWiki instance. | + | |
- | #* The web configuration interface is quite intuitive. | + | |
- | #* You will probably go for a public wiki (read access for everyone, and write access for registered users). | + | |
- | # Run the {{{dw-post-install}}} script, as mentioned in step 4 of the end message. | + | |
- | #* The `dw-post-install' | + | |

- | * Updating .htaccess ... done. | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | # **Congratulations!** You've got a basic DokuWiki installation with pretty slash based URLs, HTTPS support login and Creole markup. | + | |
- | === indexmenu Configuration === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The indexmenu plugin is installed but the index pages are not yet created. As written in the {{{local.php}}} file, we will use {{{home: | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | At the same time we will create and index menu on the start/home page. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You'll need to go through the following steps (mentioned in the {{{README}}} file): | + | |
- | # Type {{{home: | + | |
- | {{indexmenu> | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | #* Each time you will use the {{{Index}}} button in the bottom right corner the index menu in the {{{home: | + | |
- | # Add an index menu to the first page in the wiki (home). Just type {{{home}}} in DokuWiki' | + | |
- | = Wiki Name = | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{indexmenu> | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | #* {{{Wiki Name}}} is the name of the wiki. It gets displayed as a heading 1 title. | + | |
- | # You can add indexes to namespaces (edit the {{{$namespace/ | + | |

- | ==== Disable Unnecessary Actions ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In case you choose to use LDAP authentication, | + | |
- | # use the {{{$conf[' | + | |
- | # use the DokuWiki' | + | |
- | === Split Authentication === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The LDAP service often offers little support for group authorization inside DokuWiki. A better approach would be authenticating through LDAP and using another engine for authentication. This can be accomplished through the use of [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The [[http:// | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In order to configure split authentication, | + | |
- | # Update the {{{local.php}}} file with configuration lines such as these:< | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | $conf[' | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | #* I assumed the configuration lines for LDAP are already there. | + | |
- | #* In the above configuration, | + | |
- | # Authorization configuration is done by editing the {{{conf/ | + | |
- | # user: | + | |

- | == Upgrading == | + | |
- | + | ||
- | DokuWiki has a smart notification system that lets you know whether a new version of DokuWiki is available. A DokuWiki upgrade is fairly easy to accomplish. The upgrade steps are described on the [[http:// | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The are two scripts you may use. One is to be run by root (the {{{dw-upgrade}}} script), while the other (the {{{dw-upgrade-no-root}}} script) may be run by a non-priviliged user. Each script creates a backup copy of the current wiki installation before upgrading. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The {{{dw-upgrade}}} script (run by {{{root}}}) is to be used when your backup needs to be web accessible. The backup uses the precises ownership information and access rights (may be owned by {{{www-data}}}) such that it would be an exact copy of the original DokuWiki installation. In order for the backup copy to be completely accesible, its {{{.htaccess}}} filesh ould probably be updated. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The backup directory passed to the scripts should exist. This is where the actual backup is created using a name starting with {{{dokuwiki-bak}}} (such as {{{dokuwiki-bak-2011-09-12}}}). | + | |
- | + | ||
