FreeBSD 6.1

One of our amazing users got DekiWiki up and running on FreeBSD. These instructions apply only to i386 FreeBSD, as mono does not work with amd64. Here's a quick rundown on what to change.

How I got DekiWiki to run on FreeBSD 6.1

Environment:

FreeBSD 6.1 i386

Apache/2.2.2 (FreeBSD)

mod_ssl/2.2.2

OpenSSL/0.9.7e-p1

DAV/2

PHP/5.1.4

After successfully installing Apache2, MySQL, and PHP5 from FreeBSD ports...

Open /dekiwiki-current/dekiwiki/extensions/MWSearchUpdater.php and change the 5th line from /usr/share/pear to /usr/local/share/pear

Open installWiki.sh

Change line "APACHE_USER=www-data" to "APACHE_USER=www"

## mktemp is a utility on FreeBSD

Remove line 153 "tmp_file='mktemp"

Change variable at the end of line 154 from "$tmp_file" to "tempfile"

Change line 155 from "mv $tmp_file /etc/mwsearch.conf" to "mv tempfile /etc/mwsearch.conf"

Change line 158 /etc/init.d/mwlucene restart to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mwlucene restart

move mwlucene to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ instead of /etc/init.d/

portinstall pear bash pdftohtml html2text wv links aspell mono

pear install Cache_Lite

pear upgrade-all

Change #!/bin/bash to #!/usr/local/bin/bash in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mwlucene and installWiki.sh

After this run the installWiki.sh script and you should be up and running.
