How to Install WiKiss on Fedora Server Latest

WiKiss is a wiki application that lets you create and manage wiki sites. This guide will walk you through installing WiKiss on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A server running Fedora Server Latest.
  • Root access to the server.
  • A web server (Apache or Nginx) installed and running.

Step 1: Install PHP and MySQL

First, install PHP and MySQL on your server. Run the following command:

sudo dnf install php mariadb mariadb-server

Step 2: Configure MySQL

Next, configure MySQL. Run the following command to start the MySQL service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Then run the following command to secure your MySQL installation:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Answer the questions, and set a secure password for the MySQL root user.

Step 3: Install and Configure Web Server

Next, install and configure a web server (Apache or Nginx) on your server. Here we will use Apache web server.

Install Apache:

sudo dnf install httpd

Start Apache:

sudo systemctl start httpd

Enable Apache to start at boot:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Grant permission to Apache to access files in /var/www:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www

Step 4: Download and Install WiKiss

Download the latest version of WiKiss from the website: https://wikiss.tuxfamily.org/. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to /var/www/html/wikiss.

sudo unzip -q wikiss-x.y.z.zip -d /var/www/html/wikiss

Change the ownership of the wikiss directory to the Apache user:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wikiss

Step 5: Configure WiKiss

Create a new MySQL database for WiKiss:

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wikiss;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikiss.* TO 'wikiss'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

Replace 'password' with a strong password.

Now, edit the WiKiss configuration file:

sudo nano /var/www/html/wikiss/config/config.php

Set the following values:

$config['db']['user'] = 'wikiss';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';

Replace 'password' with the password you set for your MySQL user.

Step 6: Access WiKiss

Finally, access WiKiss in your web browser:

http://your_server_ip/wikiss

You should be redirected to the WiKiss installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed WiKiss on Fedora Server Latest!
