Dokuwiki

2025-1-7

Dokuwiki not a supported package in Synology DSM 7.
Followed these directions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgB9aJ-fRzY) about installing a farm. Did not work.
Copied this install to both macqueen.us/dokuwiki and allthatjas.us/dokuwiki and all was well.
going to 10.0.0.124 in a web browser lands you in /volume1/web
both wikis are dmmacq s1 u2
wiki name is in conf/local.php

Many many problems upgrading to current version.
Current version wanted PHP 7.4
On Diskstation, deleted all PHP versions < 7.4, and updated WebStaion to use PHP 7.4 and Apache to use 2.4
Backed up old version to dokuwiki20231205.zip
See https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:synology for changes needed to PHP
Download and installed latest DW version.
Created new start.txt page.
Changed Directory for saving data option to point to /volume/synshare/web/macqueen.us/dokuwiki/data/pages
Copied older data/pages/*.txt files to that directory, but no change.
Searched all drives for start.txt.
Changed DW config option Reveal full path of pages in the footer to show full path of currently displayed file and found it in /volume1/web/dokuwiki/data/pages
“find / -name start.txt” did not find it. had to use sudo.
Final change was option Use fully canonical URLs
Copied older plugins only if not newer
Executables are in /volume1/web/dokuwiki and are not backed up.
This may not be true ^^^ but it works and I'm not fooling with it anymore right now.
Data is in /volume/synshare/web/macqueen.us/dokuwiki/data/pages and does get backed up

Dokuwiki lives in /etc, /usr/share/lib, and /var/lib.
All of the above should be chown -R www-data.
dokuwiki.php is the global config
local.php is the local config override
must change apache2.conf
must install all of php5, so that there is a php5.conf file in apache
Dokuwiki syntax
how to backup dokuwiki
to fix write errors, ssh to 192.168.1.17 (admin/lowell01), then cd to /volume1/synshare/web/macqueen.us/test/data, and do
```
sudo chgrp -R http * and sudo chown -R http *
```
there is a backup plugin that writes to /volume1/synshare/web/dokuwiki/data/media/wiki/backup
there is an update plugin that works
