The following installation instructions is for installing from a backup tar ball. Once a Master Wiki instance is insatlled, you can clone further instances using clonewiki as SystemAdministrator.
- It is recommended that you set a password for SystemAdministrator and enable a closed user group for a Master Wiki instance (that is one containing clonewiki.cgi) otherwise you can delete clonewiki.cgi from your wiki copy to ensure no-one can clone it on your server or disable write permission for apache's user in the parent directory of your wiki place.
- Once installed you should upload a new template.html file containing your preferred layout and style sheet.
- in addition you might want to set a nicer logo in your template.html which you need also to upload.
- untar into a directory (you might use output from http:backup.cgi)
- tweak .htaccess if you want user authentication or not and with the position of the htpasswd file (which must be an absolute pathname)
- make the pages and files directory writable (owned) by the user running the apache process (e.g. wwwrun)
- do not forget the RCS sub-directories and files
- have fun!
