Installer won't work after install (it loads though)

wikifun

Hi guys, I have managed to get DokuWiki installed - just to realize that something is missing, it will load the install.php script, but with errors, and not working.

Installer shows a broken link in top left of screen, how can I find out more what could be the cause please?

My system is (to be) running on Ubuntu Server 22.04-1, Apache2 with PHP 8.1, and latest DokuWiki.
If some other combo should be better suited, I'll gladly change to that.

Thanks

What does that mean? What errors? What's not working?

Does your Apache installation actually work? Does it apply PHP when serving PHP-Documents?

Yes it does. I tested it by creating a test.php containing "<?php phpinfo() ?>" which shows what's expected.

I'm sorry for the cryptic message. I had tossed the install from before, so ended up succeeding with these steps as I wanted to use SSL;

`Unpack;
$ sudo tar -xf dokuwiki*.tar.gz --directory /var/www/
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/dokuwiki
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

Change lines;

DocumentRoot /var/www/dokuwiki
ServerName <servername>

SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/<certificate.crt>
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/<certificate.key>

Enable SSL

sudo a2enmod ssl

##Enable SSL enabled site
sudo a2ensite default-ssl

Restart

sudo service apache2 restart
sudo systemctl reload apache2`

sorry for the strange formatting... preview didn't really show this up front

I missed a line in the steps above near the end;

sudo apt-get install php-xml

then restart, and this worked out well for me. Thanks!
