WackoWiki is a lightweight, user-friendly wiki software that allows users to create and manage wikis with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install WackoWiki on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
To install Apache2 web server, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache2 service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To install MySQL server, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL server. Enter a strong password and remember it.
Once the installation is complete, start the MySQL service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start mysql
To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
Once the installation is complete, restart the Apache2 service with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Download the latest version of WackoWiki from the official website (https://wackowiki.org/). You can use either wget or curl command to download the file.
For example, to download the file using wget, run the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/WackoWiki/wackowiki/archive/master.zip
Once the file is downloaded, extract it using unzip command:
sudo unzip master.zip
The extracted files will be located in the wackowiki-master directory.
Log in to MySQL server with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password you set during the installation process.
Create a new database with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE wackowiki;
Create a new user for the database with the following command:
CREATE USER 'wackouser'@'localhost'IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace 'password' with a strong and unique password.
Grant all privileges to the user with the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wackowiki.* TO 'wackouser'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges with the following command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL server with the following command:
exit
Rename the config.sample.php file to config.php with the following command:
sudo mv wackowiki-master/config.sample.php wackowiki-master/config.php
Edit the config.php file with your preferred text editor:
sudo nano wackowiki-master/config.php
Update the following lines with the database details:
$wakkaConfig["dbtype"] = "mysql";
$wakkaConfig["dbhost"] = "localhost";
$wakkaConfig["dbname"] = "wackowiki";
$wakkaConfig["dbuser"] = "wackouser";
$wakkaConfig["dbpass"] = "password";
Replace 'password' with the password you set for the wackouser during Step 5.
Save and close the file.
Copy the WackoWiki files to the Apache2 document root directory:
sudo cp -r wackowiki-master/* /var/www/html/
Set the correct permissions for the files and directories:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
Restart the Apache2 service with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
