Permissions (Applies to *nix only)
Most hosts will run Apache as 'nobody' or 'www'. This causes problems as it needs to be able to create and modify files within the data directory. Create two directories below the same directory where you run wikidx.php- data
- trash
Due to the nature of shared servers, it also means ANYBODY can also delete, create, rename files in your directories. This is a limitation of unix / Apache and not this software.
I have done a fair amount of reading on this, and in a shared environment it is extremely difficult to get the apache/php module to modify files without these 'open' settings.
Install script
Now run WikiDX as normal. This will validate the installation, ie the correct settings have been applied, and also install the default pages.Change Settings
You are advised to change the following default settings. These will help to reduce the occurence of spam / hack attacks.
Default settings are best over-ridden using the /data/pages/custom.php file.

Upgrading
In most cases it is simply a case of copying the contents of the distribution file over your existing installation. Only this time do not run the install.Upgrading to v.0.3 from v0.2.* or lower.
If you are upgrading to v.0.3.* from a pre 0.3 release, you should run the install/upgrade030.php script to update the internal linking mechanisms.
You are advised to read the differencies between v.0.2 and v.0.3
