How to Install TWiki on Clear Linux Latest?

TWiki is an open-source Enterprise 2.0 platform, where you can manage and share information online collaboratively. Here is a step by step guide to install TWiki on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

• A new installation of Clear Linux Latest version
• Root access to the system
• A webserver installed and running on Clear Linux
• Perl installed on the Clear Linux system

Step 1: Download TWiki

Firstly, download the latest version of TWiki from the official TWiki website. You can use the wget command to download the file directly to the Clear Linux system.

wget https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/DownloadTWiki

Step 2: Unpack the TWiki tarball

After the download is complete, unpack the TWiki tarball by using the following command.

tar zxvf twiki-x.x.x.tar.gz

Here, replace x.x.x with your TWiki version number.

Step 3: Set File and Directory Permissions

Now, set the directory and file permissions for the TWiki installation directory. Use the following commands to change the ownership and permissions.

sudo chown -R www:www twiki
sudo find /path/to/twiki/ -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
sudo find /path/to/twiki/ -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

Here, replace /path/to/twiki/ with your actual TWiki installation directory.

Step 4: Configure Apache HTTPD for TWiki

Create an Apache HTTPD virtual host for TWiki using the following command.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/twiki.conf

Add the following content in the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot /path/to/twiki
 ServerName twiki.example.com
 <Directory /path/to/twiki>
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from all
 </Directory>
 ErrorLog logs/twiki-error_log
 CustomLog logs/twiki-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Here, replace twiki.example.com with your actual domain name and /path/to/twiki with your actual TWiki installation directory.

Step 5: Access the TWiki web installer

Restart the Apache HTTPD service to load the TWiki virtual host configuration.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Now, open a web browser and access the TWiki web installer by using the following URL:

http://twiki.example.com/bin/configure

Here, replace twiki.example.com with your actual domain name.

Follow the instructions provided by the web installer to complete the TWiki installation.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed TWiki on your Clear Linux system. You can now use TWiki to manage and share information online collaboratively.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
