Instructions for Setting up PMWiki on itp.nyu.edu
To be part of ITP's wiki farm and use NYU NetID/NetID passwords for authentication
- Download itp_pmwiki to your computer.
- If it didn't auto extract, you need to do that.
- You may want to change the name of the folder so that it is something nicer and more descriptive. The name can have letters, numbers, and underscores. Don't use spaces.
- Open up the extracted folder and edit the file called 'htaccess' with your favorite text editor. Be sure to save the file with Unix line breaks.
- In the line that reads
RewriteBase /~netid/wikiname
change NETID to you netid
change WIKINAME to whatever you are named your wiki folder
change NETID to you netid
change WIKINAME to whatever you are named your wiki folder
- Save the file (don't forget to use unix line endings).
- Next edit the 'config.php' file inside the 'local' subdirectory. Editing instructions are in this file as comments. When saving your changes, remember to save with unix line endings.
- You can upload the entire folder to your "public_html" directory on itp.nyu.edu.
- Once uploaded, rename this htaccess file to .htaccess (a dot in front of htaccess). This makes the file a hidden file so make sure your sftp/scp program is set to show hidden files.
- Change permission on the 'wiki.d' directory to be world-writable (chmod 777)
- You should now be able to go to
http://itp.nyu.edu/~netid/wikiname/
Click on 'login' in the sidebar
and login with your netid/password

itp.nyu.edu/classname
itp.nyu.edu/classname/wiki
