Windows

MySQL

Download the MySQL Installer (Either 32 bit or 64 bit, depending on your system config.)

Edit your my.ini file:  C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.x\my.ini

Make sure you DO NOT have NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER and STRICT_TRANS_TABLES in your sql-mode setting

# Set the SQL mode to strict
#sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
sql-mode="NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Restart MySQL:
Goto Start > Run > Services.msc > Right Click on MySQL service and select "RESTART" or "STOP" then "START"

Apache

Download the Apache 2.2 Win32 installer  (As of this writing, there is no 64-bit Windows installer for Apache.)

Note: If you are using NOD32 you should add Apache to the IMON exclusion list. Thank Raul for noticing this.

PHP

Download PHP 5.2.9 for Win32 (installer) or you may want to install the PHP 5.2.9 for Win32 (ZIP) version instead because some users have trouble with the Win32 installer.  (Chances are that you will not have an issue and you should use the installer version.)

short_open_tag = On
extension=php_mbstring.dll (uncomment this line)

ImageMagick

Download ImageMagick for Win32.  You probably want to choose one of the versions that includes 16 in the name instead of 8, because this will allow you to use 16 bit images instead of 8 bit images, which allows for images with more colors.  The "static" version worked for me, but it's possible the DLL version works also.  (There is also a 64-bit version if you are running on 64-bit hardware with a complimentary OS.)

Run the installer and choose the defaults.

.NET Runtime

Make sure you have the Microsoft .NET framework installed. You can check by going to Windows Update and verifying ".NET Framework 2.0" does not appear under the "Software, Optional" section. Windows 2000 only supports .NET v2.0, later Systems (XP, W2003, Vista, W2008, W7) support .NET v3.5 (so no Mono Installation is needed).

Mono (on Windows 2000)

Download Mono V 2.4.3.1 (later versions of Mono are incompatible with W2K) from http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archi....9-win32-0.exe and run installation.

Prince XML

Download and install the latest Windows version of Prince XML.

MindTouch Core (Deki Wiki)

Download the latest Deki Wiki Source Release

Extract the archive to:  c:\dekiwiki

Apache

(Most of the info below will already be done for you if you used the installers.)

Edit your httpd.conf file:  C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf

Enable PHP5.  Be sure to add this in the LoadModule section rather than trying to put the command at the end of the configuration.

LoadModule php5_module "c:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" 

Enable the following additional modules:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so 

Create a VirtualHost like the one below.  Make sure you edit the paths so that they are appropriate to your environment.  You will also need to make sure that the log directories that you specified are already created.  If you need to use a port other than 80, add a colon and port number after the star, so for example to use port 8080 change the first line to <VirtualHost *:8080>.

<VirtualHost *>

    DocumentRoot "c:/dekiwiki/web"
    ServerName dekiwiki

    ErrorLog "c:/dekiwiki/logs/apache/error-dekiwiki.log" 
    CustomLog "c:/dekiwiki/logs/apache/access-dekiwiki.log" common

    DocumentRoot "C:/dekiwiki/web"

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
    RewriteRule ^/$ /index.php?title= [L,NE]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon\.ico$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots\.txt$
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ [OR] %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Special:Search
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA,NE]

    # deki-api uses encoded slashes in query parameters so AllowEncodedSlashes must be On

    AllowEncodedSlashes On

Please take note if the directory where MindTouch is installed is accessible or simply add this to httpd.conf:

<Directory "C:/dekiwiki">
    Options None
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I spent about an hour trying to figure out why I kept getting 403 Forbidden errors.  From messing with .htaccess files to uncommenting everything in the httpd.conf - Mike

Restart or reload apache2 to load the new configuration. 

Complete the Setup Form:

1) Fill in the required information

2) When using Mono (Windows 2000), you should enter the path to your Mono installation that should be "C:\Program Files\Mono-2.4.3.1\bin\mono.exe"

3) In the "Advanced Configuration" specify the location of the ImageMagick convert.exe and identify.exe binaries if not set automatically.

ImageMagick convert:  C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.4-Q16\convert.exe 

ImageMagick identify:  C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.4-Q16\identify.exe 

Click "Install Deki Wiki"

You should see a confirmation screen like this:

Open up a command prompt: Start >> Run >> cmd.exe
Important: Under Windows Vista you must run cmd.exe with Administrator privileges. Do this by typing 'cmd' into the search field of the start menu, right-click on 'cmd.exe' that should now apear in the menu and select 'Run as administrator'.

Run the additional commands as specified by the installer. Commands could e. g. look like the followings:

cd C:\dekiwiki\web\config
copy mindtouch.deki.startup.xml C:\dekiwiki
copy LocalSettings.php C:\dekiwiki\web\
copy mindtouch.host.bat C:\dekiwiki\web\bin
cd C:\dekiwiki\web\bin
mindtouch.host.bat

Important: after you execute the last command, mindtouch.host.bat,  leave the cmd window open so the batch file (and the exe file it calls) can keep running. If you close that window, various servers Deki requires aren't running, and you can't use the wiki.

Note: When running MindTouch under Windows 2000 with Mono, add path to Mono binary e. g:

@ECHO OFF
set CMD="C:\Program Files\Mono-2.4.3.1\bin\mono.exe" "C:\dekiwiki\web\bin\mindtouch.host.exe" apikey aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa script C:\dekiwiki\mindtouch.deki.startup.xml path-prefix @api http-port 8081 ip localhost notty
%CMD%

Then click the link to access your wiki!

If you get the following error:

Its because of the .NET framework. mono-1.2.4-gtksharp-2.8.3-win32-3.exe didn't work for me and I eventually had to uninstall mono and install the framework :) -Mike

(Mono 1.2+ if Windows 2000)  (On Windows 2008, Windows 2008R2, Windows Vista and Windows 7, download and install the .NET 3.5 packages.) -Drew
