Introduction
This Howto will get PMWiki running in an IBay with no shell access required
The MediaWiki is cool, but it's for bigger sites than what I need, this is a lightweight file based Wiki, that doesn't require shell access to setup, doesn't need MySQL and is easily customized if you understand the key Web technologies, namely PHP, CSS and HTML.
It will be backed up by any method you use to backup your ibays - e.g. affa
and of course it is open-source (GPL), it runs on virtually any webserver featuring PHP.
Installation
1. Create an Ibay
Information bay name : Wiki Description : Wiki Group : Everyone User access via file sharing or user ftp : Write Group, Read Group Public access via web or anonymous ftp : Local Network (No password required) Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI) : Enabled
2. Download the Software
* [1] pmwiki-latest.zip
3. In the IBay, In the html folder
a. Delete What is there: i.e. index.html
b. Unzip Download into a Local Folder
c. From that folder move the Program folder to the newly created IBay
* Currently that would be the folder pmwiki-2.2.2

<?php header( "Location: pmwiki/pmwiki.php\n\n" );
