PukiWiki is a wiki engine that allows for easy creation and editing of webpages with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PukiWiki on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, you will need to have access to a FreeBSD Latest server with root privileges. Additionally, you will need to have Apache web server and PHP installed.
The first step is to download the latest version of PukiWiki from the official website at https://pukiwiki.osdn.jp/. You can use the following command to download the file directly on your server:
# cd /usr/local/www/
# fetch http://osdn.jp/frs/redir.php?m=ymu&f=%2Fpukiwiki%2F43788%2Fpukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8.zip
After the download completes, you can extract the contents of the archive using the following command:
# unzip pukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8.zip
The next step is to configure Apache to serve PukiWiki. Create a new virtual host configuration file:
# vi /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/pukiwiki.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/pukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8/
ServerName pukiwiki.example.com
<Directory /usr/local/www/pukiwiki-1.5.3_utf8/>
Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/pukiwiki_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/pukiwiki_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit.
Restart the Apache web server for changes to take effect:
# service apache24 restart
PukiWiki requires PHP to be installed and configured properly. If you haven't already installed PHP, you can do so using the following command:
# pkg install php74
Add the following lines to the end of the php.ini file:
# vi /usr/local/etc/php.ini
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so
extension=mysqli.so
Save the file and exit.
Restart the Apache web server for changes to take effect:
# service apache24 restart
You can now access the PukiWiki web page by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
http://pukiwiki.example.com
You will be prompted to create a new page and start using PukiWiki!
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install PukiWiki on FreeBSD Latest. With PukiWiki installed, you can easily create and edit web pages in a collaborative environment. Enjoy using PukiWiki on your server!
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!
