Wikidot After Install
tsangktsangk 1209292684|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I installed Wikidot V1 using the Easier Wikidot Home Network Install.

All went well!

But when I tried to access the site, it said "The site does not exist."

Can anyone help?

BTW it is only Home Network….

BTW both WIkidot Home network install and the easier one requires United States installation language and Eastern time…… I live in Australia and it didn't work! It took me a while to work out!

Did you resolve "The site does not exist" issue? I had that problem until I edited my hosts file.

It doesn't make sense that a language/time zone setting would cause the install to fail. I'm in the Central Time Zone, not Eastern, so I don't think that was the issue.

If you have a working install, you should edit my guide to cover the areas that tripped you up and what you did to fix them.

Problem Fixed!

Yes! Got it running!

It was because I was running it in LAN and in the GlobalProperties.php file, I set:
Website Address as = "lanwiki"

rather than

Website Address as = "lanwiki.com"

After I changed it, I was working!!!

Language Setting

I tried the Australia option in the install. It failed in most of the apps, some apps like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop memcached
The option with language has to be United States but the Time Zone can be anything. I am going to be changing the guide.

hosts file

I know that the hosts file can not be updated automaticly but are there any solutions?

Congratulations! I forgot about the need for ".com" in the site url. I jumped so many hurdles before finally getting my install working, it's easy to lose track. You can edit the hosts file as the sudo user. Here's a portion of my first home network install guide (without the scripts):

Edit The HOSTS File

  • Open the File Browser window you minimized earlier

(or open a terminal window and > $ sudo nautilus again).

  • Navigate to the /etc folder and find the hosts file.
  • Right-click and Open with "Text Editor"
  • Edit the file so it resembles below (the only lines I added are in red).
  • Substitute your server name for ejwiki.
  • Note that any new wiki sites created will have to be added manually to the hosts file (i.e newwikisite.ejwiki.com)

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ejwiki.hsd1.mn.comcast.net. ejwiki
127.0.0.1 www.ejwiki.com profiles.ejwiki.com
127.0.0.1 templates-en.ejwiki.com test.ejwiki.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

  • Save the file.

Can't it be something like *.lanwiki.com?

Now a problem:

Whenever I attempt to access the site, in the New Users section, Admin is always recreated like this:
;-) Admin 2 seconds ago

When I upload files, it sorta works….
It uploads to http://lanwiki.com/local--files/start/file.file
but it links to http://lanwiki.com/files--sites/start/file.file
which doesn't have anything!

Sorry, that was just an example. It is not on the real site ;)

(I was browing through wc.info and i just decided to make that as an example)

Thanks,
