Fedora Core 4

Prerequisites

First you need to install the various prerequisites for DekiWiki:

Download the mono repository (mono.repo) and add it to yum by copying it to /etc/yum.repos.d/mono.repo

wget http://www.go-mono.com/download-stable/fedora-4-i386/mono.repo
mv mono.repo /etc/yum.repos.d

Import all the GPG keys

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*

Update yum and install

yum update
yum install httpd mysql-server php php-pear php-mysql php-gd ImageMagick wv pdftohtml htmldoc links mono mono-data bytefx-data-mysql mono-data-sqlite aspell-en

Missing packages:  html2text or htmltotext

You can download it here: http://www.mbayer.de/html2text/files.shtml

Make a RPM packaged by using the .spec file (A guide is located in the INSTALL file). Remember the rpm build command is now "rpmbuild" ex. rpmbuild -bb <.spec file> 

pear install Cache_Lite XML_RPC

Decide on a password for MySQL (in this example "mysql_root_password")

/etc/init.d/mysqld start
/etc/init.d/httpd start
mysql -u root -e "set password = password('mysql_root_password');"

create /var/www/.wapi for mono

mkdir /var/www/.wapi
chown apache /var/www/.wapi

Wiki Core Installation

Next you'll download the DekiWiki codebase and configure the installers for your server.

Download the dekiwiki codebase & extract it to a directory called dekiwiki-current:

wget http://www.opengarden.org/download/dekiwiki-current.tar.gz
tar xfvz dekiwiki-current.tar.gz

cd dekiwiki-current/mwsearch
make install
cp http://mwsearch.conf.mks/ /etc/mwsearch.conf
mkdir /var/run/mwsearch
cp mwlucene /etc/init.d/mwlucene
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mwlucene
ln -s /etc/init.d/mwlucene /etc/rc3.d/S86mwlucene

Edit /etc/mwsearch.conf and set password=mysql_root_password

Edit /etc/php.ini and change the following parameters

memory_limit = 128MB
post_max_size = 64MB
upload_max_filesize = 64MB

Edit installWiki.sh and set APACHE_USER=apache

Create a Wiki Instance

Here you'll create a wiki instance. You'll follow these steps multiple times if you want multiple wikis on your server.

Change to the DekiWiki install directory (e.g. cd dekiwiki-current). Assuming you want your wiki on the deki.example.org domain name, run

./installWiki.sh --wikiName deki --domainName example.org --dbRootPwd mysql_root_password

Remember that the wikiName is the host and that you should use your top level domain (example.org) for the domainName.

NOTE: If your wiki name is too long (15+ chars or so) the installation may fail due to the generated MySQL user name being too long. Otherwise, you may get some PHP warnings but the install will be successful. Your wiki domain name, sysop password, and wiki database password will be displayed. The wiki database name is the same as the wikiName.

If you have multiple wikis on one machine, edit /etc/mwsearch.conf and make sure that all the wiki names are listed up top for the "databases" setting. Also make sure all the attachment directories at listed for the attachmentpaths setting.

Now configure Apache to serve up the wiki. Modify /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or wherever your virtual servers are configured) to include:

NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@deki.example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/deki.example.org
    ServerName deki.example.org
    ErrorLog logs/deki.example.org-error_log
    CustomLog logs/deki.example.org-access_log common

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
    RewriteRule ^/$ /index.php?title=Home [L,NE]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(attachments|ControlPanel|editor|stylesheets|images|skins)/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(redirect|texvc|index).php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/error/(40(1|3|4)|500).html
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/favicon.ico
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/robots.txt
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ [OR] %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Special:Search
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA,NE]
</VirtualHost>

restart apache

apachectl restart
