WiKiss is a lightweight, wiki-oriented CMS that allows you to create and manage wikis on your server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WiKiss on Kali Linux latest version.
Before starting the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:
If you don't have the above-mentioned packages, then install them on your system.
To download WiKiss, go to the following link: https://wikiss.tuxfamily.org/
sudo wget https://wikiss.tuxfamily.org/libs/files/wikiss-0.3.1.tgz
After downloading your WiKiss file, extract the file using the following command.
sudo tar -zxvf wikiss-0.3.1.tgz
Now move the extracted WiKiss files from the downloaded path to the apache web directory "/var/www/html" using the following command.
sudo mv wikiss-0.3.1 /var/www/html/wikiss
Next, you need to change the permission of the entry files using the following command:
cd /var/www/html
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wikiss
sudo chmod -R 777 wikiss
Now create a MySQL database for WiKiss.
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wikissdb;
CREATE USER 'wikiss'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'WikissPassword@123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikissdb.* TO 'wikiss'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Open your web browser and type the following URL to access the WiKiss installation page.
http://localhost/wikiss/install
Follow the installation wizard and provide the required information, such as database name, username, and password, etc.
After completing the installation process, remove the installation directory by using the following command.
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/wikiss/install
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WiKiss on Kali Linux latest version. You can now use this lightweight wiki CMS to manage your server's wikis.
