Install dependencies packages

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

 yum install wv links pdftohtml tidy html2ps html2text mysql-server
 wget http://www.princexml.com/download/prince-7.1-linux.tar.gz
 tar xfzv prince-7.1-linux.tar.gz 
 cd prince-7.1-linux
 ./install.sh

Note Installation of some dependencies may require interaction. Answer "yes" to all authentication/verification and download questions. If you encounter issues installing any of the dependencies, try adding the RPMforge repo

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

 yum install mindtouch

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
$ /opt/novell/mono/bin/mozroots --import --sync
$ exit

Configure Apache

After the install has finished, move /etc/httpd/conf.d/deki-apache.conf.disabled to deki-apache.conf and change the ServerName in that file to match the URL that you will be entering into the web browser to arrive at your wiki:

mv deki-apache.conf.disabled deki-apache.conf

This will allow the Apache virtual host to direct traffic to MindTouch.

Then, restart Apache by entering the following command:

service httpd restart 

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

Start MySQL by entering the following:

 service mysqld start

Go to "http://your_server/config/index.php" to complete the configuration.

Note that mysqld and httpd are not configured automatically to start; this can be changed by entering:

 chkconfig mysqld on

 chkconfig httpd on
