WikiSuite is an open-source software suite that provides a range of productivity tools such as wikis, mail servers, file storage, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WikiSuite on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update the system to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
pkg update && pkg upgrade
This will update all the installed packages on the system.
To run WikiSuite, we need to install the Apache web server and MySQL server. Run the following command to install both:
pkg install apache24 mysql57-server
This command will install Apache and MySQL along with all the required dependencies.
We need to configure the MySQL server to create a database for WikiSuite. Run the following command to configure MySQL:
sysrc mysql_enable=YES
service mysql-server start
mysql_secure_installation
This command will enable MySQL, start the MySQL service, and run the MySQL secure installation script to configure the root password and remove unwanted users.
Now, we need to create a new database for WikiSuite. Run the following command to log in to the MySQL server:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the password you set during the MySQL secure installation. Once logged in, create a new database and a new user with permissions for that database by running these commands:
CREATE DATABASE wikisuite;
CREATE USER 'wikisuite'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikisuite.* TO 'wikisuite'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace "password" with a strong and secure password.
Now that we have installed Apache, MySQL, and created a database, it's time to install WikiSuite. Run the following command to download the package and install WikiSuite:
pkg install wikisuite
This will install WikiSuite along with all the required dependencies.
Before we can access WikiSuite, we need to configure it. Run the following command to edit the WikiSuite configuration file:
nano /usr/local/www/wikisuite/local/config/config.ini.php
Update the following settings according to your environment:
[DB]
dsn = mysql:host=localhost;dbname=wikisuite
username = wikisuite
password = password
[LDAP]
;ldap_url = ldap://localhost
;ldap_bind_dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
;ldap_bind_pwd = admin_password
;ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
;ldap_search_user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%username))
[SMTP]
auth_method = smtp
host = localhost
port = 587
username = username
password = password
[MyNetwork]
host = mywiki.example.com
[DefaultSettings]
php_path = /usr/local/bin/php
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Finally, we can access WikiSuite. Open a web browser and browse to your FreeBSD Latest server's IP address or hostname followed by "/wikisuite". You should see the WikiSuite login screen.
Use the following credentials to log in:
