CentOS 5 MindTouch Core Package Installation

Install dependencies packages

Type the following command to install packages that will allow full functionality in MindTouch Deki. During the Prince XML installation, change the default file location to /usr to allow it to be scanned during the web-based Deki setup :

# yum install wv links pdftohtml tidy html2ps
# wget http://www.princexml.com/download/prince-6.0r6-linux.tar.gz
# tar xfzv prince-6.0r6-linux.tar.gz 
# cd prince-6.0r6-linux
# ./install.sh

Note Installation of some dependencies may require interaction. Answer "yes" to all authentication/verification and download questions.

Set up MindTouch's YUM repository

Create the file "/etc/yum.repos.d/mindtouch.repo", and add the following content :

[home_mindtouch]
name=mindtouch's Home Project (CentOS_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://repo.mindtouch.com/CentOS_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repo.mindtouch.com/CentOS_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

Install MindTouch Deki

Install MindTouch Deki using the command :

# yum install dekiwiki

Note: Installation of some dependencies may require interaction. Answer "yes" to all authentication/verification and download questions.

Install Trusted Roots Certificates

Install the trusted roots certificates from the Mozilla LXR website into the Mono certificate store by entering the following:

# su dekiwiki
$ mozroots --import --sync
$ exit

Start Services

Note that the installer does not automatically start services (nor will they automatically restart upon machine reboot). First, start Apache by entering the following command:

# service httpd start 

Note: SELinux, if installed, must be set to "permissive" or "disabled"; if it is set to "enforcing" the API will not be reachable.

Next, start MySQL by entering the following:

# service mysqld start

Congratulations! MindTouch Deki is now installed and you should be able to connect to "http://your_server/config/index.php" to complete the configuration.
