How to Install PukiWiki on EndeavourOS Latest?

Introduction

PukiWiki is an open-source wiki system written in PHP. It is designed to be fast and easy to use. If you are a developer or a writer who wants to create your own wiki site, PukiWiki might be a good option for you. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PukiWiki on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, make sure that you have the following:

• An instance of EndeavourOS Latest
• A web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) installed and running
• PHP 7.3 or higher
• MySQL or MariaDB server installed and running
• A web browser

Step 1: Download PukiWiki

Download the latest version of PukiWiki from the official website:

$ wget https://ja.osdn.net/frs/redir.php?m=jaist&f=pukiwiki%2F82071%2Fpukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8.zip

Extract the downloaded file in the webserver document root directory:

$ sudo unzip pukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8.zip -d /var/www/html/

Change the ownership of the PukiWiki directory to the appropriate user and group:

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pukiwiki/

Step 2: Configure the Database

Create a new database and user for PukiWiki:

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE pukiwiki;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON pukiwiki.* TO 'pukiwikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

In the above command, replace pukiwikiuser and password_here with the desired values.

Step 3: Configure PukiWiki Settings

Copy the pukiwiki.ini.php file to the wiki directory:

$ sudo cp /var/www/html/pukiwiki/pukiwiki.ini.php.example /var/www/html/pukiwiki/wiki/pukiwiki.ini.php

Edit the pukiwiki.ini.php file:

$ sudo nano /var/www/html/pukiwiki/wiki/pukiwiki.ini.php

Find and replace the following lines:

define('PKWK_DSN','mysql://user:password@localhost/database);
// replace 'user', 'password', and 'database' with the appropriate values

define('PKWK_ENABLE_AUTH_COOKIE_EXPIRE', true);
define('PKWK_AUTH_USER_EXPIRE', 86400);
// set 'PKWK_AUTH_USER_EXPIRE' to the desired expiration time in seconds (86400 seconds = 1 day)

Step 4: Access PukiWiki

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/pukiwiki/wiki/.

You will be prompted to create an admin user account on the first visit.

You have now successfully installed PukiWiki on your EndeavourOS Latest system.
