DokuWiki

This article describes how to install Dokuwiki on Free.fr

dokuwiki is a great wiki: lightweight, no need for SQL databases (all in text files) and easy to customize. So, naturally, I wanted to use 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
  • Unzip it, and upload the bin, inc and lib directories to your home page on free. Overwrite existing files.
  • Create a “session” directory at dokuwiki's root, erase “data/locks”, enable PHP 5 (i.e write php 1 in .htaccess)
  • Launch dokuwiki's install (install.php) and then erase the install.php file.
  • It's possible to move out most directories of DokuWiki, see the security page.

It works !

Upgrading DokuWiki

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
  • conf/local.php
  • conf/users.auth.php
  • conf/dokuwiki.php
  • doku.php

Also, remove unnecessary files listed in that link. Additionally, no need to upload install.php when you're doing an upgrade !

Finally, you have to patch lib/plugins/config/settings/extra.class.php
