Description of problem: In general, a DokuWiki installation from scratch provides the script "install.php" which the user can call to do further adjustments to the DokuWiki installation (like switching on Access Control Lists, set the name of the superuser, set the title of the Wiki, among other things), most of which will end up in the file "local.php", which holds settings specific to the installation site at hand (like Wiki title etc). However, the script "install.php" is not contained in the Fedora DokuWiki RPM. This might be a mistake, or it might indicate that it was decided to drop "install.php" from the package and let instead some post installation script of the RPM do some of the work of "install.php". But if so, it is not clear from the RPM description or from the files that come with the DokuWiki RPM which next step the user is expected to undertake after the installation of the DokuWiki RPM to finish setting up a working DokuWiki. Is the user expected to set up the file "local.php" all manually? A look at the file "local.php" after the installation of the DokuWiki RPM shows that the file doesn't contain any specific settings, so it seems no RPM post-installation script takes care of the settings that the script "install.php" would commonly take care of. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Observed with DokuWiki RPM for Fedora 14. How reproducible: Standard RPM installation procedure (by yum, possibly with yumex). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check file list of DokuWiki RPM for "install.php". 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: * There's a short page regarding the Fedora DokuWiki RPM at the DokuWiki website: http://www.dokuwiki.org/install:fedora?s[]=fedora * A thread in the FedoraForum is related to the bug report at hand: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=261529 * Also, a thread in the DokuWiki forum is related to the bug report at hand: http://forum.dokuwiki.org/post/24514
I compared the script /conf/dokuwiki.php from the original DokuWiki tgz at http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/dokuwiki with the /conf/dokuwiki.php created by the RPM / yum / yumex install of the package dokuwiki-0-0.7.20101107.a.fc14 and realized that the only difference is the definition of the data directory. So I made up this workaround: (Become root to do steps 03 to 09.) 01 _ Install package dokuwiki-0-0.7.20101107.a.fc14 (and possibly dokuwiki-selinux). 02 _ Download the original DokuWiki tgz at http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/dokuwiki. 03 _ Copy the script install.php from the tgz archive to /usr/share/dokuwiki 04 _ Symlink from /usr/share/dokuwiki/data to /var/lib/dokuwiki/data 05 _ Rename /usr/share/dokuwiki/conf/dokuwiki.php to dokuwiki.php.bak 06 _ Copy the original script /conf/dokuwiki.php from the tgz archive to /usr/share/dokuwiki/conf 07 _ Rename /usr/share/dokuwiki/conf/local.php to local.php.bak 08 _ Rename /usr/share/dokuwiki/conf/users.auth.php to user.auth.php.bak 09 _ Rename /usr/share/dokuwiki/conf/acl.auth.php to acl.auth.php.bak 10 _ Call /dokwiki/install.php on your http server. The script install.php will guide the user through the setup process of DokuWiki and will arrange for a default DokuWiki user.
You may just add an admin user by hand. I wrote some instructions in the dokuwiki wiki at http://www.dokuwiki.org/install:fedora Prehaps the package should come with an admin user enabled by default. The users may the immediately access dokuwikis own admin tools to configure dokuwiki and to change the default password of the admin user.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
