In this tutorial, we will teach you how to install PmWiki on POP! OS Latest. PmWiki is a popular wiki software that is easy to install and use. This tutorial assumes that you already have POP! OS Latest installed on your system.
First, we need to download the latest version of PmWiki. You can download it from the official website (https://www.pmwiki.org).
After downloading the package, we need to extract the files. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the package was downloaded. Use the following command to extract the files:
tar -xvzf pmwiki-latest.tgz
We need to move the extracted files to the web directory where other web files are located. The web directory is located at /var/www/html/. Use the following command to move the files:
sudo mv pmwiki-xxx/ /var/www/html/pmwiki/
We need to set the correct permissions for the PmWiki files. Use the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/pmwiki/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 775 .
sudo chmod -R g+s .
We need to configure Apache to serve the PmWiki files. Edit the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines before the </VirtualHost> tag:
Alias /pmwiki /var/www/html/pmwiki
<Directory /var/www/html/pmwiki>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
We need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect. Use the following command to restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
PmWiki should now be accessible at http://localhost/pmwiki/. You can access it using any web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PmWiki on POP! OS Latest.
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!
