Hi,
I’m hindered for the moment because it looks like I’ll have to buy a new URL, i.e., a new webspace that can be given its own URL and to which I can make a clean installation.
In the meantime I have tried to accumulate a coherent set of instruction and I have checked your German version against the English version. Then I’ve suggested some better (?) ways of saying things marked with plus marks fore and aft.
Six small steps
The installation of DokuWiki is very easy and explained in six small steps.
Preparation: Before you start, the system requirements should be checked!
Step 1: Download the latest DokuWiki version (current “stable”).++++ add link?+++
Step 2: Read the safety instructions
Step 3: Extract the tar archive and upload/copy the files to the web server +++ Upload the file to your webhost using FTP.+++
Step 4: Call up the installation www.webseite.de/dokuwikifolder/install.php via the browser and follow the instructions. ++++(For additional information, see the installer page.)++++
//I don’t understand this part. My understanding is as follows; “Open your Firefox or whatever web browser you prefer to use, Enter the URL for your website into the address area in your web browser. When you hit return you will get an error message saying to “check your config and permission settings. Or maybe you want to run the installer?” “Run the installer” is a link
Step 5: Set the file rights according to the installation program
//Do things work in the folllowing way at present on the system you are using?
When you activate the DokuWiki Installer, you will find that a large number of files you uploaded to your website do not have the right permissions. So you must go back to your FTP client to give the listed files “write” permission.//
//A missing step?

//Another?
Go back to your web browser, scroll down on the page of problems found and click on “Retry” near the bottom.//
Step 6: Congratulations, DokuWiki is installed.
In order to understand and use DokuWiki correctly, it is advisable to read the manual.
If this was too quick for you, you can watch a video guide of the DokuWiki installation or let yourself be guided through the installation of DokuWiki in detail in the next section.
======================
I hope this is clear. I won’t be able to check my own wordings against reality until I provide myself with another website.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.
