Installation

In a shared hosting environment, TWiki works "out of the box". Foswiki, however, requires some Perl modules that are not installed by default on some shared hosting machines!

Without the following three Perl modules, the installation won't even start:

• CGI::Session
• Crypt::PasswdMD5
• File::Copy::Recursive

Ask your hosting company to install these Perl modules.

Check version

• system variable: v2.1.8

Move from subdirectory to subdomain

1 Create subdomain in the admin panel of your hosting company

2 Adapt the Foswiki configuration accordingly

http://.../bin/configure

VARIABLE	SUBDIRECTORY VALUE	SUBDOMAIN VALUE
Default Url Host:	http://your.url	http://foswiki.your.url
Script Url Path:	/foswiki/bin	/bin
Script Url Path for View:	/foswiki/bin/view	/bin/view
Pub Url Path:	/foswiki/bin/../pub	/bin/../pub

3 Adapt the Foswiki .htaccess

Purpose is to redirect to the main home page of the wiki

subdirectory value	Redirect /foswiki/index.html http://your.url/foswiki/bin/view/Webname/WebHome
subdomain value	Redirect /index.html http://foswiki.your.url/bin/view/Webname/WebHome

4 Adapt the main .htaccess

Purpose is to disallow access to the wiki welcome page by redirecting them to the main home page of the wiki.
This is done in the .htaccess file of the root folder above the wiki folder.

Redirect /foswiki http://foswiki.your.url/bin/view/Webname/WebHome
