DokuWiki

This article describes how to install Dokuwiki on Free.fr

Honestly, dokuwiki is a great wiki, so I wanted to install it on Free.fr. Unfortunately, it won't work there straight of the box (because of free - to my understanding): you have to install a patch.

• Download dokuwiki, upload its directories to your home page on free.fr
• Get the patch from this forum , or directly there
• Unzip it, and upload the bin, inc and lib directories to your home page on free. Overwrite previous files.
• Create a session directory at dokuwiki's root, erase data/locks, enable PHP 5 (php 1 in .htaccess)
• Launch dokuwiki's install (install.php) and then erase it.
• It's possible to move out most directories of DokuWiki, see the security page.

It works !

Upgrade messages usually appear when you login. I successfully upgraded DokuWiki using the procedure detailed here. It just works without any problem, though I strongly recommend to backup your wiki first (in particular .htaccess and doku.php). Also, remove unnecessary files listed in that link. Finally, no need to upload install.php when you're doing an upgrade !
