Hello everyone. First timer here.
As I finally decided start documenting my home equipment and LAN I have been searching for a simple and light Wiki for my humble purposes. Even if I am not afraid of a database as a back-end, Dokuwiki's approach really seems to match my needs. So, I more or less have chosen it for my tool. At least I thought so...
The installation itself was simple and straightforward. Unpack, the latest package and tweak Apache to show the dir. Basically everything seemed to work okay until I ended up to documentation telling about the toolbar in editor-page. It really seems like it should be a default feature in every setup or at least I have not found a way to specifically enable it.
As I also have a hidden agenda to to get my not-so-technical wife to use this also in documenting some other stuff in the household, the ability to click a button to
bold text will be crucial for me to succeed.
And yet it does not work.
I have not seen the editor toolbar a single time in my setup. I have tried several workstations, different browsers (namely IE in addition to my default Firefox) and versions. I have tried several versions of Dokuwiki (latest stable dokuwiki-2009-12-25, latest snapshot dokuwiki-2009-12-30 and a couple of older ones), I have also walked trough the
http://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:toolbar without any luck.
I am currently very confident that this issue has nothing to do with the client browser as I see the toolbar nicely for example in
http://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:toolbar when clicking it's 'Edit this page'-button.
I have also tried:
- The Firefox's JavaScript error console. Nothing shown there.
- Apache's logs. Nothing left in error log and access log shown only normal entries.
- Tried also the dokuwiki's do_debug-feature, but I am not able to debug the page in editing-mode.
So if it is the server side, what is it? I need help to figure it out, because the installer did not tell me to have anything wrong, missing, tool old or anything.
My server setup is:
- Ubuntu Linux 8.04.3 LTS server (yes, rather old, but I am waiting for the next LTS)
* Apache2: 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.14
* php5: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.9
