Install on FC

[mtoothaker]

Hello,

The company I work for is looking for a wiki product to use. We are currently using MediaWiki but it doesn't really have the security and WYSIWYG editing features the users are looking for. So I came across DekiWiki, it looks great so I figure, I will set it up on a server and try it out and make sure it works for us.

I am using RedHat Fedora 7. I tried to follow the directions as they were listed for FC4, but they don't seem to fit very well, some packages don't seem to be available through yum (htmltotext, pdftotext for example). So I pushed my way through and it installed without errors, but when I go to the dekiwiki folder all I get is a blank page. I modified the index.php file so that it would print "hi" to make sure I was in the right folder and I do get the "hi", but nothing else.

Has anyone gotten dekiwiki to work on FC later than 4? Any ideas what might be up with my install? I am hoping to sell this product to my bosses, but that is going to be hard if I can't get this working pretty quick. And the VMWare version isn't really an option for us.

Thanks in advance.

Time to write a how-to for RHE. I however am unable to get past the mono install insanity on the stable release. By the looks of things, it will be best to wait for Hayes to release. I tried with an early Beta on Ubuntu 7.04. It almost worked but I ran out of time...

Hi Mike & Newton,

Welcome to the forums!

MaxM got DekiWiki installed on Ubuntu and will update the installation guide. However, there are only so many distros we can handle ourselves. The documentation is captured in a wiki to make it easy to enhance it over time to the benefit of all. And these forums are a great place to let us know about where things got tough and what we can do to make it easier.

Any bit of time and effort you invest will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Mike

I have DekiWiki installed on Fedora 5, and it works fine... but it took some time to set up.. the packages that yum don't find.. You need to download and install separate.. I have a lot of post in this forum about the problems I rand into.. so try to search and you properly will find a solution.

You find HTML2TEXT here:

Thanks for the replies.

mads, I will check out your posts and see what I can get out of them.

SteveB, if I get something going I will try to update the wiki to show what I did.

As I go I will post questions here as well.

Mike,

I have the same problem as you and just get a blank screen when index.php runs. I am installing version 1.82 (hayes release). Did you manage to get up and running with Deki-Wiki? If so what do I need to do?

Thanks in advance,
John

when I look in the error log I see the following:

[Fri Oct 05 18:56:19 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /var/www/deki-hayes/config/index.php on line 655

However I made the changes as directed to /etc/php.ini i.e.

memory _limit = 128MB
post_max_size = 64MB
upload_max_filesize = 64MB

so I am a bit lost, and my install is stalled any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John

This might be a stupid question but did you restart apache after making that change to php.ini?

[longjohn]

Yes, I did restart apache.
