Windows Wiki

These are notes on how I installed a wiki, pmwiki, on Windows.

1. Apache
   
   Downloaded Apache 2.2.8 for Windows. I did do a custom installation. Selected an option for building modules.
   
   
2. PHP
   
   Got 5.2.6. The self installer looked promising, but got errors. I noticed that they put a new release out today. Maybe they fixed that. Anyhow, I just got the zip file. It worked. I put it in C:\php.
   
   
3. Apache Config
   
   httpd.conf
   LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
   PHPIniDir "C:/php"
   
   mime.types
   application/x-httpd-php php
   application/x-httpd-php-source phps
   
   
4. PHP Configuration
   
   There are two configuration files. I chose the recommended one, rather than the "dist". I don't think I had to make any changes to it.
   
   
5. PmWiki
   
   Downloaded the latest version. I placed it under the Apache htdoc directory. I also renamed it to "pmwiki" rather than the PmWiki name with the version number. Happily, when I pointed my browser to the PmWiki/pmwiki.php file, it all worked.
   
   
6. Initial PmWiki Configuration
   
   All you have to do is create a "config.php" file. Fortunately, they already have one. It is located under the "docs" directory. Copy the sample "config" file to the "local" directory. be sure to name it "config.php". It should work as it is.
   
   
   

I think I will write another post on what I do with PmWiki once I have it up and running.

I don't think this will be very helpful to anybody. Much of this is just me learning how to use this voice recognition stuff.
