administrators (basic)
Prerequisites for running the PmWiki wiki engine:
- PHP 4.1 or later, with at least the following extensions installed (check with
phpinfo()):
- mbstring
- pcre
- libxml
- session
- Some sort of webserver that can run PHP scripts.
- Write permissions for the webserver user account in the PmWiki tree. (Required for editing only.)
- No file type extension restrictions on your host (usually from free web hosting providers)
PmWiki has been reported to work with the following OS/webserver combinations:
- Apache 1.3 or 2.2, on roughly anything (Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS/X)
- Microsoft Internet Information Server, on Windows
- I got it to work on appWeb (a very small, php-enabled webserver) executing on a Linksys NSLU2 Network Storage Link device (runs Unslung 5.5 beta which is a Linux derivate for embedded systems). Still have to work out why file-uploads does not seem to work, however. --Hans-Göran Puke
- PmWiki works very well on x86 Linux + LiteSpeedWeb Server Standard Edition --Jeff Muday
- lighttpd web server on FreeBSD
PmWiki has been reported not to work on:
- Mac OS before Mac OS X because there's no PHP available
- It works on Leopard with a few changes to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- Uncomment LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
- Add index.php to DirectoryIndex index.html
- Add two mime types:
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
- AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
More Information:
- The Standalone recipe provides a special, bare-bones webserver application that can be used to run PmWiki in places where another webserver isn't available.
