Purpose: A cookbook approach to creating a Wiki of your own.

dlb: has anyone been successful in running the new (07-Nov-2000)VFS          wikit via CGI ?  -- if not, are there still older versions      available ?  I've been having a hell of a time getting wikit      running as a cgi process , is there someone I can direct questions      to ??

[LV]: Did you check the link above about Wikits and CGI?  Did you put
up a note on the Gripes about Wikit, or Wikit Problems, pages?

VPT: 17th Feb '02 - the current wikit.tkd runs as a cgi process (at least on Linux). I put the tclkit in /usr/bin since that was in the PATH in apache's environment (as displayed by the printenv cgi-bin script). I then put the wikit.tkd in the cgi-bin directory and set the permissions to rwx for the user apache runs as (I'm a lttle uncomfortable with having the write permission set but at least it only has the permissions of the apache user). Editing a page with Mozilla 0.9.8 fails with,

 [error] (26)Text file busy: exec of /var/www/cgi-bin/wikit.tkd failed

whilst editing with Netscape Communicator works. This failure mode has been reported before see [Running wikit as a CGI script].
Actually the edit succeeds although the browser reports an error. In  any case it only fails if you are using Mozilla local to the server.

[MDD]:  What would be really nice would be it someone would create a Starkit that combines tclhttpd and the wikit into one turnkey wiki server.  Performance should be better, since you wouldn't have to use CGI.
