Got it running but need to enable some key features

Hi there,

I've been using www.wikidot.com for years and recently decided to run it on my own computer.
So I installed the deb package on my ubuntu 9.10 box and it worked. Very nice!
I was even able to login as Admin to change the site from default public to private, just like what you would have do on wikidot.com.

However, I still need a few key features before settling down.
1. Is there any way to run the site as https instead of http? I guess I would have to change the lighttp conf file, right? Is there any documentation on this? Thanks.
2. I would really love to run multiple sites, with each site having different members and styles for different projects I am running. I notcied that the current wiki process is

lighttpd -f conf/lighttpd/single_wiki.conf

This seems to indicate that this is a single project site? Is there a multi-project conf file I can start with? Ideally, I would like to have URLs like

https://<ip>/wiki/project1 and https://<ip>/wiki/project2

or

https://wiki.mydomain/project1 and https://wiki.mydomain/project2

to be two independent projects as if they are on wikidot.com.
Do you think that's possible?

Thank you very much.
Shi

I am not an expert but from what I have gathered from playing around with wikidot.org and emailing the developers wikidot only works with subdomains and not subfolders. In other words you can't do what you mentioned above:

https://wiki.mydomain/project1 and https://wiki.mydomain/project2

but you can do

http://project1.wiki.mydomain and http://project2.wiki.mydomain

In fact that is how wikidot is set up to run by default and if you set up a wildcard with your domain host as *.wiki.mydomain pointing to your server wikidot.org will manage the different wikis on the wiki farm.
