-(TikiWiki 1.9)-----------

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge tikiwiki -pv
emerge tikiwiki

-(TikiWiki 1.9 developers ebuild testing method)-----------

TikiWiki 1.9 Sirius Developers and Testers Release (NOT FOR LIVE SITES)

1.9.x is a developer and tester version, it is stable enough to run but things break from time to time. New features go there.

If you feel like using 1.9, , lets use our well-known PORTAGE OVERLAY feature. Turn it on in /etc/make.conf ...

$ mkdir /usr/local/portage/www-apps/tikiwiki
$ cp /usr/portage/www-apps/tikiwiki/tikiwiki-1.8.5.ebuild \
> /usr/local/portage/www-apps/tikiwiki/tikiwiki-1.9.0_rc4.ebuild #for DR4

Now we create the "tarballs for our install from latest cvs" for our own client-service. Go to your webserver root directory and create a folder "tar".

$ cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs
$ mkdir ./tar 
$ cd tar
$ wget http://de.tikiwiki.org/tar/lastiki_BRANCH-1-9.tar.bz2
$ mv ./lastiki_BRANCH-1-9.tar.bz2 ./tikiwiki-1.9.0_rc4.tar.bz2

Finally, lets modify and emerge

$ vim /usr/local/portage/www-apps/tikiwiki/tikiwiki-1.9.0_rc4.ebuild
# edit the variables:
HOMEPAGE="http://localhost"
SRC_URI="${HOMEPAGE}/tar/${P}.tar.bz2"
# line 26 append to DIRS another value
local DIRS=" whelp" 
# whelp is a directory for dumps of structures to html format, coded by LuisArgerich

$ emerge tikiwiki -pv
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.0_rc4  -vhosts 0 kB [1] 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
 [1] /usr/local/portage
$ emerge tikiwiki

If all goes well you are now fetching the download, first failing from official mirros, but finally downloading from the HOMEPAGE/tar/ directory we specified in the ebuild.

No information about this file ebuild and associated downloaded file we created above yet exists in our local portage tree. We need to create the digest now:

$ ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-apps/tikiwiki/tikiwiki-1.9.0_rc4.ebuild digest
$ emerge tikiwiki

As this is not a release, you will get errors about missing docs, thats ok.

All this should put a copy of Tikiwiki into /var/www/localhost/htdocs/tikiwiki, unless you use the +vhost USE flag and know what your doing with your webapp-config.

Now you should go to your tikiwiki directory and continue installation steps as usual. Create empty database, create database user, grant permissions on new database to user. Point your browser to localhost/tikiwiki/tiki-install.php. Or in tikiroot do $ ./setup.sh apache apache 02775, edit db/tiki-db.php, pipe tiki.sql into new database.

For TikiMods you will have to go on commandline and use fixperms.sh to be safe.

-(TikiWiki 1.8.5)--------

TikiWiki 1.8.5 Polaris Stable (for production environments)

There is an ebuild in portage for GentooLinux users, who would like to test and use a Tiki, and benefit of the easy updates of both worlds.

1. To use it: emerge tikiwiki

$ emerge sync
$ emerge -pv tikiwiki
$ emerge tikiwiki

2. then enable PHP in your /etc/conf.d/apache(*) if you have not done :

APACHE(*)_OPTS="-D PHP(*) -D SSL"

3. you may want to create an empty tiki database:

$ mysqladmin -uroot -p create tikiwiki

4a.Check your Requirements and Setup

4b. follow on-screen instructions:

* To complete installation, you should manually review the following
 *
 * Tiki requires PHP to have in /etc/php/apache(*)-php(*)/php.ini
 *     ==> 'memory_limit = 16M'
 *     ==> 'max_execution_time = 60'
 * Tiki likes PHP to have :
 *     ==> 'default_charset = utf-8'
 *     ==> 'file_uploads enabled = On'
 * Please edit /etc/php/apache(*)-php(*)/php.ini. Match your running php and apache version.
 * 
 * 
 * You may find further information on the Tikiwiki website
 *     ==> ((InstallGettingStarted))
 *

5a. Open http://localhost/tikiwiki/tiki-install.php. This helps setting up the db connection and some "database profiles".

5b. On the commandline, cd to your tikiwiki install root directory, then

cd ./db
$ mysql -uroot -p tikiwiki < ./tiki.sql

• Like this you pipe the db into your empty tikiwiki db directly.

Setup db/local.php for tikiwiki database access for single tikiwiki:

# or edit in db/tiki-db.php the following lines to match your settings:
$host_tiki   = 'localhost';
$user_tiki   = 'root';
$pass_tiki   = 'Password';
$dbs_tiki    = 'tikiwiki';

6. Now, point your browser to the location of tiki-install.php
* e.g. http://localhost/tikiwiki/tiki-install.php
* Login using admin/admin and start using Tikiwiki!

7. enjoy!
