Apache httpd, php, mySql and phpWiki. I downloaded the latest stable version of each. Though the latest stable phpWiki seems a little old! After installing phpWiki, I recalled a friend recommending twiki wiki - which requires PERL for windows and for me to change the first line in every command script to point to the location of PERL on my computer. If I was using Linux/Unix, Perl would typically be installed where twiki expects it (/usr/bin/perl). On windows it is likely to be C:/Perl/bin/perl.
Twiki is a resource that uses a user password file! Which may not be that useful if you are managing a large internet application like wikipedia! And it requires Perl, which is a pain to install on windows.
Update: My friend recommends TikiWiki, which also comes integrated with:
- Forums (like phpBB)
- Blogs (like WordPress)
- Articles (like Digg)
- Image Gallery (like Flickr)
- Map Server (like Google Maps)
- Link Directory (like DMOZ)
- Translation and i18n (like Babel Fish)
So I’ll be looking forward to getting home and playing with this!
