Lately our sys admin has been interrupting our DokuWiki service over and over while he tinkers with something else on the same machine. Hasn't responded to requests as to when this will stop happening. I need to at least keep working on developing our corporate documentation so that I'll have completed pages when the server tinkering is done. Is there a decent freeware virtual server for DokuWiki that I can run on my Win 7 64-bit PC?
To be honest, this should not be your concern. Your IT should make sure that the services that are essential to your job are available. If they don't do this they aren't doing *their* job and you should escalate this to someone higher in the hierarchy. As an ex-sysadmin it makes me cringe to hear people starting to run servers on their own Windows work stations because IT doesn't cater to their needs.
