Hi there!
So I'm not new on linux actually, but I think I really know just pretty basic console things as 'apt-get install' 'xkill' 'sudo bash' lmao
I'm running into problems while trying to install dokuwiki. I will share what happened with my first two tries and what went wrong on each one:
1st try - I followed instructions on this video
It was working well for me except for final command:
Which returns with "ERROR: Site yourdomain does not exist!". Am I supposed to create a particular domain name here?
As I didn't find anything about this specific error on any forums I've just deleted all dokuwiki folders.
PS: a little offtopic as an additional reminder for anyone reading the thread and following this video for Dokuwiki:
In the step where the guide suggests that you copy and paste this code
Don't forget to change the download link for the most current version on the official website:
https://download.dokuwiki.org/
Choose the characteristics of the version you want to use and wait for the download link, and replace within the code above. In this case,
So getting back to this thread,
2º try - I installed a server, apache2 following these instructions
So I tried to follow the guidelines of the dokuwiki website
dokuwiki install
I've also looked for specific information about ubuntu (assuming that Elementary OS is ubuntu-based)
dokuwiki install ubuntu
I managed to extract the tar.gz file containing the most recent dokuwiki available on the website and I was also able to change the permissions of the extracted folder, which were blocked.
But when asked to open the page to access the editor, the browser points out the 404 error of a non-existent page.
I used the link suggestion in this case: http://www.yourserver.com/path/to/dokuwiki/install.php, changing the "yourserver" to "apache2" and the entire part of the file path, in my case "etc/[user]/dokuwiki/install.php".
It also didn't work.
Thank you for helping
Ps: I don't need to install dokuwiki necessarily, what I'm really looking for is a platform to memorize studies through content creation, and the layout of an encyclopedia seems to be the best scenario for that. I presume that's what Dokuwiki is for, but anything like that allowing editing content for personal use is welcome. So if you do not know how to help with Dokuwiki but know some other alternative, please tell me
Ps: not sure if this thread belongs to Server or Ubuntu forums, please change location if I'm opening this in the wrong place
