Installing Aneuch is easy. Simply extract the archive using the command "tar -xzvf". This will create a directory called "aneuch" which contains the following contents:

  • aneuch.pl - The wiki engine
  • htaccess.dist - A sample .htaccess file for you to use (if using Apache and your site allows htaccess files)
  • config.pl.dist - Sample config file
  • README - A short readme file

Once you have extracted the archive, you can move the files where you want them on your web server (or leave them in the aneuch folder).

Redirecting

You will have to set up an .htaccess file to handle the redirecting. The simplest way to do this is to rename htaccess.dist to .htaccess. If you have shell access, you can accomplish this using the command: mv htaccess.dist .htaccess

Doing this allows all requests to a file that does not exist to flow through the Aneuch script, which then serves it up as a wiki page.

Configuring

You will have to rename config.pl.dist to config.pl (if you do not already have a config file in place). To do this through the shell, type: mv config.pl.dist config.pl

Now open up config.pl in your favorite editor (mine is vi) and modify the variables to your liking. The config file is very well documented, however feel free to ask any questions you may have on the discussion page.

This is part of the Documentation for Aneuch.
