How to Install WiKiss on OpenSUSE Latest

WiKiss is a lightweight and easy-to-use wiki engine written in PHP that can be run on any server with PHP installed. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WiKiss on the OpenSUSE Latest operating system.

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

To run WiKiss, you will need to have a web server installed on your system. Apache and PHP are the most popular web server and scripting language, respectively.

You can install both of them using the following command in your terminal:

sudo zypper in apache2 php php-xml php-mbstring

Step 2: Download WiKiss

You can download the latest version of WiKiss from its official website or GitHub repository. In this example, we will use the wget command to download it:

wget https://github.com/Sylvain303/WiKiss/archive/master.zip

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

unzip master.zip

Step 3: Configure Apache

Now, we need to configure Apache web server to serve WiKiss. Create a new Apache configuration file for WiKiss using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/wikiss.conf

Add the following lines to the file and save it:

Alias /wikiss /path/to/WiKiss-master
<Directory /path/to/WiKiss-master>
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

Replace /path/to/WiKiss-master with the full path of the directory where you extracted WiKiss earlier.

Now, restart Apache web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Install WiKiss

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/wikiss/install.php. Follow the on-screen instructions to install WiKiss.

Once the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation message.

Step 5: Remove the Install Script

For security reasons, it is recommended to remove the install.php file from your server after the installation is complete. You can do this using the following command:

sudo rm /path/to/WiKiss-master/install.php

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WiKiss on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use it to create and manage your own wiki pages.
