Architecture / Installation

I am a newbie too, and, I do not have too much knowledge about scripting and all the technical stuff about the program. However, I like many of the features of tikiwiki, so I struggled to learn how to do the installation.

Here is what I remember from my recent installation without using shell access:

Rather long, as I am writing it "on the cuff". I might have forgotten some steps, or I might have used the incorrect "technical jargon" so I appreciate any feedback.

My other purpose in writing the above, in a more lengthy version, rather than a quite cryptic format, is a hope that some of those more versed with tikiwiki will write documents of the key features of the program — intended for beginners, not just for expert programmers or tech-savvy people.

It is just like a young child trying to learn the alphabet and eventually understanding and grasping its connection to words, the beauty of language language and power of communication. One can get overwhelmed, without proper guidance. In some instances, people may completely shy away from worthwhile pursuits, like understand Mathematics, for example.

There is so much to learn about tikiwiki. And, it will take "years" to master them without the proper tutorials. At least that is how I feel at the moment with tikiwiki; but I am interested to learn more about it, since I recognize its potential.

I am interested, for example, to learn more about MultiTiki, but I found the current documentation rather confounding for one like me with no scripting and programming background.

So, please bear with us, newbies and technically-challenged individuals, if we can't express ourselves cryptically, sometimes; or, ask what you may consider as stupid questions.

I am even willing to collaborate with others here, to help write some features of tiki, provided you help us understand the nuances of program. However, you have to bear with me, as English is not my native tongue.

As "Alice" would like to insist:
