EuWikiEngine 1.0

Introduction

Thank you for downloading EuWikiEngine. EuWikiEngine was programmed in the Euphoria language by Ryan Johnson, with lots of help from Jeremy Cowgar. For more information and updates, see http://fluidae.com/euwiki/euwiki.exu?EuWikiEngine.

Wiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a wiki system. This typically allows web pages to be created and edited using a common web browser. It is usually implemented as a software engine that runs on one or more web servers, with the content stored in a file system and changes to the content stored in a relational database management system.

Installation

EuWikiEngine is designed to be easy to set up on a linux web server.

• Create a /wiki folder on the web server.
• Select a method:
• Source: combine the files in /source and /euphoria into /wiki on the web server. Set execute permissions for "euwiki.exu" and "exu". or
• Binary: copy the files in /bin to a folder on the web server. Set execute permissions for "euwiki.cgi".
• Copy the following folders to /wiki - "/templates", "/users", "/pages", and "/images".

So, you should have the following folder structure:

• /wiki - root folder with ".htaccess" and "readme.txt" and, depending on the method you chose, "euwiki.cgi" or "euwiki.exu", "exu", and include files
• /wiki/templates
• /wiki/templates/default - default html template files
• /wiki/templates/openeuphoria - example template files (used on http://openeuphoria.org/wiki)
• /wiki/pages - Wiki page files
• /wiki/users - user account files
• /wiki/images - image files

Administration

After you upload the files, you will need to create an administrator account by clicking on the [Create Account] link on the main page. The first user account you create will be given administrator privileges. After that, new user accounts will be given normal user privileges. Guests can only view pages, but registered users can edit pages. Administrators can edit other user accounts, change users' permissions, delete user accounts, delete and undelete pages, select a website template, and change global options.
