Go to the directory where the wiki should be placed.
Copy the DocBook DokuWiki tarball (dbdokuwiki_[version].tar.bz2) to
the current directory.
(File can be downloaded from SourceForge)
Extract the DocBook DokuWiki tarball:
sudo tar xvjf dbdokuwiki_[version].tar.bz2
By default, the user who extracted the source is the owner of the new files and directories. Set the ownership back to root first:
sudo chown -R root.root dokuwiki/
Go into the DocBook DokuWiki directory:
cd dokuwiki/
Create the data directories:
sudo mkdir data data/attic data/cache data/locks data/media data/meta data/pages data/temp
Ensure you're located in the DocBook DokuWiki directory (dokuwiki/)
Create the access control list file:
sudo cp conf/acl.auth.php.dist conf/acl.auth.php
Set ownership of files and directories to Apache:
sudo chown -R apache.apache *
The following steps are all optional, but can be applied to increase the system's security. For more information on DokuWiki security, see http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:security.
Remove all rights from all users other than Apache:
sudo chmod -R go-rwx *
As root, edit the local configuration file (conf/local.php).
Add or change the following settings:
Disable debug information
$conf['allowdebug'] = 0;
Disable caching of external sources
$conf['fetchsize'] = 0;
Set file and directory permissions as restrictive as possible
$conf['fmode'] = 600;
$conf['dmode'] = 700;
As root, edit the access control list file (conf/acl.auth.php).
Deny all rights to visitors by changing the last line from:
* @ALL 8
to:
* @ALL 0
Other ACL settings can be configured later through ‘Access Control List Management’ (in the ‘admin’ menu).
Remove the bin/ directory:
sudo rm -rf bin/
