WiKiss is a wiki engine that is designed for personal or community use on the web. This tutorial will take you through the process of installing WiKiss on your Windows 11.
Before installing WiKiss, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install WiKiss on your Windows 11:
Download the WiKiss source code from their official website: https://wikiss.tuxfamily.org/.
Extract the contents from the downloaded archive to your web server's document root.
Rename the extracted directory to something memorable such as 'mywikiss' for easier access later.
Open your web server's configuration file and ensure that the document root has the appropriate permissions to execute PHP scripts.
Configure your desired directory to point towards the "public" subdirectory located in the "mywikiss" (or similarly named) directory.
Create an empty MySQL database and a MySQL user with full privileges on that database.
Open the "app/config/config.yml" file and set the following parameters:
database_host: the_host_of_your_database
database_name: the_name_of_your_database
database_user: your_database_username
database_password: your_database_password
Save and close the "config.yml" file.
Open a terminal window and navigate to the WiKiss directory.
Run the following command to create the necessary database tables:
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WiKiss on your Windows 11.
WiKiss is now installed on your Windows 11 and you can start customizing and creating content on your wiki. Enjoy!
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!
