How to Install WiKiss on MXLinux Latest

WiKiss is an open-source wiki engine that allows users to create and edit content through a web browser. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing WiKiss on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Linux system running MXLinux Latest.
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we can install WiKiss, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. Open the terminal and execute the following command:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-intl

The above command installs the Apache2 web server and the required PHP packages.

Step 2: Download WiKiss

Download the latest stable version of WiKiss from the official website using the following command.

wget https://download.tuxfamily.org/wikiss/wikiss-1.3.3.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the file with the following command:

tar -xvf wikiss-1.3.3.tar.gz

Step 3: Configure Apache

We now need to configure Apache to serve WiKiss. We will use the default configuration file for Apache.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

<Directory /var/www/html/wikiss>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Move WiKiss to the web server directory

Move the extracted WiKiss folder to the Apache web server directory using the following command:

sudo mv wikiss-1.3.3 /var/www/html/wikiss

Step 5: Set permissions

Change the ownership of the wikiss directory to the www-data user.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wikiss

Step 6: Create a database

Create a MySQL database for the WiKiss installation.

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wikiss;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikiss.* TO 'wikiss'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.

Step 7: Install WiKiss

Navigate to the wikiss installation directory.

cd /var/www/html/wikiss/

Run the WiKiss installation script, and enter the required details when prompted.

sudo php install.php

Step 8: Login to WiKiss

Open your web browser and navigate to 'http://localhost/wikiss/.' You should see the WiKiss login page. Enter your username and password to log in to WiKiss.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed WiKiss on MXLinux Latest.
