    Wiki on my page

    Hey,

    I set up a subdomain which I wanted to be a wiki page.

    Does anyone know how this can be done? Can you download Wikis sort of ready-made.

    I have a document I wrote for uni on Web 2.0 and I wanted to make it a Wiki for evaluation purposes.

    I downloaded "PHP Wiki" and transferred all the files to the web directory but it didn't work. I just got this kind of PHP script error.

    what's the best way to do this? :s

    Cheers.
    Martin

    If you give us the PHP error, and maybe your URL, it might help us help you .

    Do you have the required database setup on your server as well? Have you run the setup file?

    mediawiki has a script for setting all this up, read the enclosed README and probably the INSTALL file for more information on how to set it up.

    Sorry, you can see the page and the error here
    http://wiki.martinblueprint.co.uk/

    PHP wiki is just a collection of files with no index.html file so I figured it'd work if I just transferred them all to the directory.

    looks like "php wiki" (which i've never heard of) uses unix directory separator characters, and you're on a windows host (i.e. it uses "/" not "\"). dunno if that's the problem though

    Well it looks like it's missing XmlElement.php - is it present in the path:

    e:\domains\w\wiki.martinblueprint.co.uk\user\htdocs\lib/XmlElement.php

    Given that you have /s and \s you're sure that this will work with Windows right?

    require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/XmlElement.php");

    should be....
    require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."\XmlElement.php");

    on line 9 in \lib\HTMLElement.php

    However it looks like php wiki is meant for a *nix server not a windows one. So changing that will mean you would need to change all the /s to \s... Not very practical.

    OK, Thanks.

    I will try something else. I'm looking at that Media Wiki thing that was suggsted.
    It turns out my domain doesn't have MySQL capability. Do I need it?

    Almost everything of this nature these days will require a database of some variety. php wiki works with MySQL, msSQL & Postgresql. Check their site

    Yes you will need a RDBMs. It will be used to track the changes to your Wiki.

    there are some wikis that don't need a database server - they can operate on flat files or sqlite
