Installing Wikka


Installing Wikka takes just a few steps:

  1. Unpack the distribution files
  1. Upload them into a directory that can be accessed via the web.
  1. Go to the corresponding URL. A web-based installer will walk you through the rest.


Example:

If your website, say, http://www.mysite.com, is mapped to the directory /home/johnny/www/,
and you have uploaded the Wikka distribution files into /home/johnny/www/wikka/, you should go to
http://www.mysite.com/wikka/.


During first installs, the installer will try to create a file called wikka.config.phpin your Wikka directory. In order to do this, you will need to either make the Wakka directory writable by the web server, or create a new (empty) file called wikka.config.php which is writable by the web server. On Unix systems this can be done via the following commands:
touch wikka.config.php; chmod 666 wikka.config.php; (don't forget to remove write access again later, i.e. chmod 644 wikka.config.php).
If the installer still fails to create the file, it will dump the file's contents which you can then save and upload manually.

IMPORTANT: for installing or upgrading Wikka, do NOT access any of the files contained in the setup/ subdirectory. They're used by the web-based installer/updater and should not be called directly from a browser.
