Topic: Who use TIKIWIKI ?

[fishbowl]

I would like to know if anyone is using tikiwiki.  No answer on my last post.  Maybe I'am trying to use a obsolete php program.

Hi Fishbowl,

I am just trying to install TikiWiki on SME v6.01.
(I am new to SME, I only installed it yesterday)
This obviously doesn't help you, but perhaps you
can help me ?
I am following some instructions from the TikiWiki
site to install:-

http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=MitelSMEInstall&highlight=sme%20server

And I am slightly confused by the fact that I don't
appear to have a /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/ dir let
alone php.ini or httpd dirs in it

Any ideas on what steps I might have missed ?

Cheers.

Hello,

When you create your ISO did you verify the checksum.  You might have a partialy installed sme.  Also check if you have multiple hard disk.  If you have tree and one is damaged you will maybe miss the information related to php.ini.

Make a small verification of your CD rom. It might also be wrongly connected.

What kind of machine are you using ?

I did compare tiki with postnuke and postnuke is more easy to work with.

STEP 1: Create the ibay

Go to the server-manager and create a new ibay called "postnuke", for example

STEP 2: Create database and user

Create mysql database

# mysqladmin -u root create postnuke
# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> INSERT INTO user (host,user,password,select_priv,insert_priv,update_priv,delete_priv,create_priv,drop_priv,index_priv) VALUES ('localhost','postnuke',PASSWORD('password'),'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q
 
Change 'password' with a good one

STEP 3: Get postnuke archive

Go to postnuke home web site http://www.postnuke.com

wget command :

STEP 4: Unpacking archive

# unzip PostNuke-0.726-3.zip

STEP 7: Launch setup

Open you browser at location http://your server name/postnuke/install.php.
Follow the install procedure.

When asked fill information about database fill with that information:
Database Host : localhost
Database username : postnuke
Database password : the password you mentioned at step2 make one easy to remember for you...
Database name : postnuke
Leave all other fields in there state

It should work fine.

Google search for cheksum how to very usefull.

I downloaded the ISO from one of the mirrors,
I must admit I didn't check the chksum

So from what you have said I really should have
those dirs already and thus I may have a broken
installation ?!

Well anyway I have gone through all the steps to
setup TikiWiki and I setup the database as follows;

          o   mysql_setpermission

Added db: <dbname>
Added user: <username>
Set password for user.

tiki-setup.php then seemed OK and I went onto
tiki-install.php (or similar - linked from tiki-steup)
and entered the db parameters set above.
I then connected successfully to the db adn used the
provided sql to update the database.

(Not sure if this helps with your original question)

The only problem I have now is that none of the php scripts actually generate any html
So in other words I see nothing when web browsing
the ibay (

Well, thanks for the tips on postnuke, if I really
can't get this to work I will try it

Hi,

Check your database...

db name = wiki
user = wiki
passw = wikiadmin

try this !

1. # mysqladmin create wiki

2. # echo "grant all on wiki.* to wiki@localhost identified by 'wikiadm';" |
mysql

3. mysqladmin reload

It should work fine

May still take a look at postnuke at some point though.

Thanks again,
