I have a new Rasbian Stretch install. PHP7 and related modules on it...
did a
sudo apt-get install dokuwiki
but learned two things, after I could not login
https://forum.dokuwiki.org/thread/15858
1. sudu apt-get is not to be used for latest install
2. sudo apt-get dokuwiki will install and old version from 2016
3. login does not work, due to old bug
Now what?
Given the advise, I uninstalled dokuwiki with sudo apt-get remove dokuwiki.
Downloaded the latest tar ball, unzipped it read the docu
It says "copy files; but where to?
I have now searched the wiki forum for an hour without finding any useful information.
Installed dokuwiki again with sudo apt-get dokuwiki
At least I can login, edit and add a page, but cannot run the extension manager; it shows a page, but shows an error:
Extension directory is not writeable.
Searching for dokuwiki will show results in:
/var/lib/dokuwiki
/etc/dokuwiki
It is totally unclear to me why dokuwiki works, while not being located in /var/www/html or /var/www/wiki
I can only assume that the apg-get install took care of file copies and apache directives?!
I have another dokuwiki server, which runs nicely. However, I installed it over a year ago and do not remember how I did it. The wiki directory there is in /var/www/wiki.
Why is there no documentation about the basic install? If users want to shift it elsewhere, then I see it as their problem. But at least a standard install and locations should be somewhere.
Also is there a document outlining how to completely remove dokuwiki and revert any changes the sudo apt-get install made?
I seem to have two options:
1. upgrade the 2016 version, by copying files form the tar to somewhere
2. completely remove the current apt-get install of the 2016 version and use the manual install
I am not getting anywhere with either; hence ...
Any pointers to docs or hints appreciated.
