Error when Installing on CentOS: Re: Error when Installing on CentOS

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:01:58 +0000

Yes sir ! I got the same doubt

He told me clearly that we need to get Litespeed server installed. So I have immediately got the license and given to him . He installed it and tried the WikiDot installation.

Please be informed that the script "wikidot" needs litespeed webserver instead of Apache to work properly.

Later replied me that he got that error

git.utsl.gen.nz[0: 60.234.254.246]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

As you said that litespeed is not necessary…I will tell him to un-install it. SO that I can save future costs Or I will keep using it

Could you please let me know how to proceed further with or without litespeed

Thank you!

I'm not sure why you use litespeed at all. Didn't you confuse it with Lighttpd?

Hello Developers !

We are installaing the script on CentOS with VPS Environment . A developer is helping us to install it.

We have installed Litespeed server too on his advice .When he started installation of wikidot,he got an error and unable to replicate it.

Error :

git.utsl.gen.nz[0: 60.234.254.246]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

Could you please let me know how to resolve it.

By the way , Is Litespeed really important for WikiDot installation? Right now we are using Litespeed 's trial version and needed to upgrade if it is necessary for Wikidot

Thank you!

PostgreSQL 8.1 + Wikidot: Re: PostgreSQL 8.1 + Wikidot

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:55:25 +0000

It's been over 2 years now, but I have installed using Ubuntu and PostgreSQL 8.3. Sorry, I don't recall if I ever had it running with PostgreSQL 8.1. The current state of the Open Source software is much different than the version I used and it is not current with what's available at http://www.wikidot.com.

If you're interested, I have created an installable ISO that you can read about and download here: MyWikidot ISO And A Virtual Machine

Personally, I would not recommend installing the Open Source version since it's not being actively supported at this time. I think the developers will be going in a different direction.

Sorry ! if I was not clear with my question .

I asked my developers(My host) to install wikidot and provided the links. These are the few lines of my request :

There is a Great Opensource script named http://Wikidot.org .it enalbles us to create a wiki farms . Using this I can create wikisite for me and for my friends .My friends would be able to install wikis for them .Would you mind to install wikidot farm for me?

It is the URL of source :http://www.wikidot.org/

It is the working Demo : http://wikidot.com

Here is a tutorial on installing the script :http://www.wikidot.org/installation-guide

But sabnzbd was installed and they said that it is the wikidot .I am not pointing out it as developers fault .It might be because of confusion .

I will show this thread to the developers .So they can check it for right solution .

Actually where can I get the manuals for installation from the start ?Where is the source for script available ?

Thanks !

Wikidot behind Apache proxy?: Wikidot behind Apache proxy?

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:27:20 +0000

I have an existing web server that runs Apache, and would like to have a wikidot wiki on it.
The server is behind a firewall that I don't control; it can only serve to the outside world on port 80, so I can't just run wikidot on a different port and be done with it.

Since wikidot is self-contained and insists on being at the root of the server, my only real option is to proxy requests to wikidot through Apache. I have wikidot running on port 8080, only accessible from the server. I have Apache configured as a reverse proxy with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html, and it's halfway working: it serves pages and rewrites the links in the sidebar. It doesn't rewrite the @import style directive, so no CSS, but I could get that working with regexp's. The bigger problem is ajax, which I've never personally dealt with so I have no idea how to fix.

When I try to login/create a page/pretty much anything, I get this error:

The ajax request failed. Please check your internet connection or report a bug if the error repeats during your work. code:404

Has anyone gotten wikidot running behind an apache proxy? Or, barring that, any other ajax web app? I'm not sure where to go from here.

Windows (& WAMP) support: Re: Windows (& WAMP) support

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:06:08 +0000

Are you trying to install Wikidot in a WAMP environment? I'm not aware of anyone who has had any luck doing that. You'd be better off installing VirtualBox and setting it up on a virtual PC with a Linux install.

If you're not trying to install Wikidot and are just looking for WAMP support, you're in the wrong place. There are several WAMP projects out there. Which one are you using?

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:48:42 +0000

I've downloaded and installed wamp - c:\wamp and created a database but my program doesn't access it. Where do I find documentation for using Wamp?
The page from which I downloaded it says just load it and use it - well, no!

Of course I need to know how to set user name and password and probably more

Ah, whoops. Thanks, that worked. Was in wrong directory.

Have been held up a bit further down the line now though :S

I've run that, exited (logged out) of the postgres user), and then attempted to run make, however every time I run it I get errors (and the output is so long that I can't see it all because the top part is cut off when I try to scroll up to it).

After reading up on "man make" I found that I could use -i (ignore errors) and -k (keep going after errors).

When I used those I actually reach the end and am given a URL to configure the super user but it doesn't work (probably something to do with the errors I ignored).

Something about needing to perform type casts in this file: PgConnection.php

If you'd like, I'll post the output for make -i -k … I think there's a huge amount of output for that one though, so by the time it finishes the first part is no longer visible even when I scroll upwards, and I can only copy and paste the second part into a comment here.

You issue make in wrong directory. Do:

$ cd ~/Desktop/wikidot
$ su postgres
Password:
$ make prepare_db

and continue following the instructions.

Any ideas?

And yes I did download something that was more than 90 MB in size (possibly the "Zend Framework"), and am pretty sure I have all dependencies installed without errors.

Well, just following the instructions on this site doesn't bode too well… it seems it relies on me having already created a user called "wikidot", which seems a bit strange.
