PmWiki is a free and open-source wiki software that is easy to set up and configure. This guide will walk you through the process of installing PmWiki on a Windows 10 computer.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to download the latest version of PmWiki from the official website at https://www.pmwiki.org. Save the zip file to your computer.
Next, extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer. We recommend placing it in your web server's document root directory.
Open the local.php
file in the pmwiki
folder using a text editor. You will need to configure the following settings:
$WikiTitle
- This is the name of your wiki.$AuthorName
- This is your name as the wiki administrator.$ScriptUrl
- This is the URL of your wiki. Make sure to include the protocol (http or https) and the domain name.$PubDirUrl
- This is the URL of the pub
directory, which holds all of the images and other files used on your wiki.You may also need to modify the $DefaultPasswords
setting to set a password for the wiki administrator.
Once you have configured PmWiki, test your installation by navigating to the URL you set in Step 3 in your web browser. You should see the PmWiki homepage.
That's it! You now have PmWiki installed and running on your Windows 10 computer. You can begin adding content and customizing your wiki. For more information on configuring and using PmWiki, consult the official documentation at https://www.pmwiki.org.
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!
