How to Install WiKiss on Clear Linux Latest

WiKiss is a wiki engine which allows you to create and manage wikis easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WiKiss on Clear Linux Latest.

Requirements

• Clear Linux Latest with a user account with sudo privileges.

Steps

1. First, update the package list and upgrade the system packages to their latest versions by running the following command:

   sudo swupd update
   sudo swupd bundle-list | grep web
   sudo swupd bundle-add web-server
   

   This will update your Clear Linux system and install the web server bundle which includes Apache and PHP.

2. Next, install the required PHP packages by running the following command:

   sudo swupd bundle-add php
   sudo swupd bundle-add php-mysqli
   

3. Download the latest release of WiKiss from their official website:

   wget https://wikiss.tuxfamily.org/get/WiKiss-latest.zip
   

4. Extract the downloaded file to the Apache web server's document root directory:

   sudo unzip WiKiss-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
   

5. Rename the extracted directory to wikiss:

   sudo mv /var/www/html/WiKiss-* /var/www/html/wikiss
   

6. Set the ownership and permissions of the wikiss directory:

   sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/wikiss
   sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wikiss
   

7. Enable the Apache rewrite module:

   sudo a2enmod rewrite
   

8. Create a new virtual host configuration file for WiKiss:

   sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/wikiss.conf
   

   Add the following content to the file:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin [email protected]
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wikiss
       ServerName wiki.example.com
       ServerAlias www.wiki.example.com
   
       <Directory /var/www/html/wikiss>
           AllowOverride All
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
       </Directory>
   
       ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/wikiss_error.log
       CustomLog /var/log/httpd/wikiss_access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   

   Replace [email protected] with your email address, wiki.example.com with the domain or IP address of your server, and www.wiki.example.com with any additional aliases.

   Save and close the file.

9. Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart httpd
   

10. Finally, open your web browser and go to http://wiki.example.com or http://<server-ip>/wikiss to access the WiKiss installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
