Upload the files

Installing a farm field

If you are installing a domain farm field, upload everything except the common/ directory, then create a symlink named common/ linked to the common/ directory of the main installation

  1. upload the MusterWiki package to the root directory of the website (or to a subdirectory if you are installing a subsite).

Create the database

  1. create a MySQL database for the website
  2. add a user to the database with the following privileges: Lock Tables, Select, Create Temporary Tables, Delete, Insert, Update
  3. run musterwiki.sql in the database (this takes a few seconds)
Installing in a subdirectory

If you are installing in a subdirectory, then

  • in the installation root .htaccess file modify the rewrite base to the subdirectory (like RewriteBase /wiki/)
  • in application/bootstrap.php on line 113 change the base_url value to the subdirectory (like 'base_url'=>'/wiki/',)

Configure the server

  1. invoke the site (or subsite) in a browser
  2. this will produce a Kohana diagnostic report. If there are issues, work with your systems integrator or ISP to resolve them
  3. on the server: change the name of install.php to install.php.x in the installation's root directory
  4. in application/config/database.php update the database settings beginning line 20 - the <database name>, <user name> and <password>
  5. in application/config/basecontroller.php update the contact, domaintitle, and headertitle values (contact is the email that appears under "Contact" in the right sidebar, domaintitle appears as a prefix in the browser tab, headertitle appears in the header bar).

Set Webmaster email address and password

  1. invoke the site (or subsite) in a browser
  2. login as Usercode "Webmaster", Password "password" (all case sensitive)
