In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of installing WikiSuite on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing any software, it's always recommended to update your system to the latest version. To update your system, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper update
To run WikiSuite, some dependencies are required. In this step, we will install all the necessary dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper install apache2 mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server php7 php7-mysql php7-gd php7-pear php7-mbstring php7-xmlwriter php7-xmlreader
Go to the WikiSuite website and download the latest version of WikiSuite. Depending on your need, you may choose either the Community Edition or the Enterprise Edition. For example, to download the Community Edition, run the following command:
wget https://download.wiki-suite.org/Community/21.10/WikiSuite.zip
Once the download is completed, extract the zip file into the desired directory using the following command:
unzip WikiSuite.zip -d /path/to/directory
In this step, we will create a virtual host for WikiSuite. Open the Apache configuration file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines of code at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/directory/WikiSuite
ServerName wikisuite.local
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
In this step, we will create a new database for WikiSuite. Log in to the MySQL server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root user password.
Create a new database named wikisuite:
CREATE DATABASE wikisuite;
Create a new user named wikisuiteuser with a password StrongPassword:
CREATE USER 'wikisuiteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword';
Grant all the privileges to the user on the newly created database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikisuite.* TO 'wikisuiteuser'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit the MySQL server:
exit
Open your web browser and navigate to http://wikisuite.local/. You will see the WikiSuite installation page.
Enter the required information such as the database name, username, password, and other necessary details.
Click on the Install button to install WikiSuite.
Once the installation is completed, you will be redirected to the login page. Enter the admin email and password that you have set up during the installation to log in.
