PukiWiki is a popular wiki software that is written in PHP, and is used for creating and managing a wiki-based website. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install PukiWiki on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install PHP and its required packages. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php php-gd php-mbstring php-xml
Download the latest version of PukiWiki from the official website. To download directly from the website, use the following command:
wget https://osdn.net/dl/pukiwiki/pukiwiki-latest.tar.gz
After downloading the package, extract it using the following command:
tar -xvzf pukiwiki-latest.tar.gz
Move the extracted files to the web server root directory:
sudo mv pukiwiki-2.0.5 /var/www/html/pukiwiki
Create a new MySQL database and user for PukiWiki:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE pukiwiki;
CREATE USER 'pukiwiki'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pukiwiki.* TO 'pukiwiki'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace 'password' with the password you want to use for the new user.
Before we can use PukiWiki, we need to configure it. Create a new configuration file using the sample provided:
cd /var/www/html/pukiwiki
cp pukiwiki.ini.php.sample pukiwiki.ini.php
Open the configuration file:
sudo nano pukiwiki.ini.php
Change the following lines to match your database configuration:
define('DB_USER', 'pukiwiki');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'pukiwiki');
Replace 'password' with the password you set for the user earlier.
If you are using Apache, create a new virtual host file for PukiWiki:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/pukiwiki.conf
Add the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/pukiwiki/
<Directory /var/www/html/pukiwiki/>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Remember to replace 'your.domain.com' with the actual domain name or IP address of your server.
Enable the new virtual host and reload the Apache configuration:
sudo a2ensite pukiwiki.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Now, you can access PukiWiki by visiting your server's domain or IP address in a web browser. For example:
http://your.domain.com/pukiwiki/
You should see the PukiWiki installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install PukiWiki on Ubuntu Server Latest. With PukiWiki installed, you can now start creating and managing your wiki-based website.
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!
