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

Thanks :-)
All working now I had permission problems :-(
May still take a look at postnuke at some point though.
Thanks again,
