TikiWiki 1.9.5 FTP installation guide

Installing Tiki 1.9.5 to a Remotely Hosted Website


Pardon my newb-ness. First time wiki'ing.

I tried following the 1.9.2 instructions and got most of the way. Turned out some new dirs showed up I think. Here is the list of dirs from the shell file included with 1.9.5:

backups
db
dump
files
img/wiki
img/wiki_up
img/trackers
modules/cache
temp
temp/cache
templates_c
templates
styles
maps
whelp
mods

You need to go to each of these dirs and do two things:

1) Make sure it exists. Create it if it doesnt.
2) Chmod it 777

If your on a remote host like I am you should have a util to do this. I use webmasters.com and they have a file management tool that lets you set permissions and create directories.

Some sites may also let you create the directories through ftp and if your lucky even do the chmods but I havn't tried that with webmasters, just know its possible through ftp.

Btw, I had to remove the description of this page because the preview/save functions were giving an error saying "descript = ..." was a bad variable. I am assuming the description is in an old version and someone who knows what they are doing can put it back. 😀
