PmWiki is a popular wiki engine that allows users to create and edit web pages easily. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install PmWiki on MXLinux Latest.
Before we start, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, we need to install Apache, PHP, and other required packages on your server. Run the following command to install these packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-curl php-xml php-gd
Next, we need to download the PmWiki archive from their official website. You can download it using the following command:
wget https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-latest.tgz
Once the download is complete, extract the PmWiki archive using the following command:
tar -xvzf pmwiki-latest.tgz -C /var/www/html/
Now we need to configure the Apache web server, so it knows how to serve PmWiki. Open the default Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following code to the configuration file after the line that starts with "DocumentRoot /var/www/html":
<Directory /var/www/html/pmwiki>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X and Y.
Now, we need to set the appropriate permissions for PmWiki. Run the following command to change the ownership of the PmWiki directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pmwiki/
Finally, we can access PmWiki by navigating to http://localhost/pmwiki in your web browser. You should see the PmWiki installation page.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation, and you're done!
That's it! We've successfully installed PmWiki on MXLinux Latest. Now you can create and edit web pages with ease using PmWiki.
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!
