In this tutorial, we will learn how to install WackoWiki on MXLinux Latest. WackoWiki is an open-source wiki engine that allows users to collaborate and share knowledge online.
To download WackoWiki, go to the official website https://wackowiki.org/ and click on the Download button. Select the .tar.gz package and save it to your computer.
Before we can install WackoWiki, we need to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php
Next, we need to extract the downloaded WackoWiki package. Navigate to the directory where you saved the package and run the following command:
tar xzf wackowiki-5.5.5.tar.gz
To move the WackoWiki files to the Apache directory, run the following command:
sudo mv wackowiki-5.5.5 /var/www/html/wackowiki
By default, Apache runs as the user www-data. To allow Apache to access the WackoWiki files, we need to set the correct permissions. Run the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wackowiki
To create a new MySQL database for WackoWiki, run the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wackowiki;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wackowiki.* TO 'wackouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note that wackouser and password can be changed to any username and password you want to use.
To configure WackoWiki, we need to edit the configuration file /var/www/html/wackowiki/config/config.php. Run the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/wackowiki/config/config.php
Change the following lines to match your MySQL database credentials:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'wackowiki');
define('DB_USER', 'wackouser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y and Enter.
Now we can run the WackoWiki setup by going to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/wackowiki/setup/
Follow the setup instructions and enter your MySQL database credentials when prompted.
Once the setup is complete, you can access your WackoWiki installation by going to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/wackowiki/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WackoWiki on MXLinux Latest. You can now create, edit and share knowledge online using WackoWiki.
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!
