help: any other doc beside README

Hi All,

I got wiki up and running on the first page (wiki.phtml). My environment
is Redhat 7.1 with MySQL 3.23.36 , Apache 1.23, and php 4.2.1. MySQL,
apache, and PHP works fine.

Wiki does not seem to work correctly. On the first page, the
link to "edit page" does not allow me to edit the first page. Second, any
links to /wiki/special:xxx such as /wiki/special:ListUsers does not work.
I got error :

"The requested URL /wiki/special:ListUsers was not found on this server."

I don't know whether I misconfigure anything or because I just don't know
how to administrate/use it. I can't seem to find the user/admin manual either.

Can someone point me to any any documents ?

Thanks,
Nick

We use the "RewriteRule" directive to rewrite the /wiki/ subdirectory
to point to wiki.phtml. Like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/wiki/(.*)$ /wiki.phtml?title=$1
RewriteRule ^/wiki/wiki.phtml(.*) /wiki.phtml$1

The first RewriteRule handles the requests for /wiki/*, and the second
fixes what the first one breaks. These are Apache directives, and I
beleive they rely on having mod_rewrite compiled in (or dynamically
loaded).

Hi All,

Thanks Jason and lcrocker to point me out. It turns out that this is one
of the problem. The other problem I had was with PHP 4.2.1. I switched
to PHP 4.1.2 and I can edit the page afterward.

I think the root cause of the problem comes from wiki.phtml which has
$action as global; PHP 4.2.1 by default does not allow variable from
GET/POST to be global. The php.ini sets the variable "register_globals"
to be off. I switched to PHP 4.1.2 which has this variable on and things
seem to work.
