After many hours of beating my head aganst hard objects because Ubuntu was being belligerent, I have my Lego Wiki software installed and running. I went with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty, MediaWiki, and an old PIII 800Mhz box. As soon as I get the interface customized and the site locked down to only me (dont want wackjobs fu**ing with my universe), I will send the wiki public.

Lego Wiki – On a Windows Box?
Well, it seems that if my hosting provider is willing to do some custom installation for me, then I can probably have a Wiki on their windows server.
What sucks about this entire wiki situation, is that because inanis.net is hosted on a windows box, the blog is a .NET application, and can't be moved to a linux box. I also don't feel like trying to hand convert all the blog entries, so the site will have to stay on windows. This means if I want wiki, I need a seperate domain/ip address/server for it, or somehow get it on the windows server.
Anyways, Take a look here.
I also found that there is a wiki software called OpenWiki that runs natively on Windows servers. Might have to try that out!
Wiki for my Lego Universe?
I have been contemplating setting up a wiki for my Lego Universe, however, I would need a linux box and a permanent IP address to do so. Don’t know if that’s in the cards, however it is something I will keep in mind and poke at bit by bit over time…
MediaWiki on Ubuntu LAMP: Easy?
I set up a Wiki system for keeping track of little tricks and tips in the shop. I put it on the same server that runs some scripts for ShatteredWindows.com. Makes it easier to find fixes to common problems than using Google, and we can note fixes to the really wacky stuff.
I have found that it is really simple to set up. Unpack an archive, upload some files, change a few permissions, hit a URL, and voila: installed.
Of course, the Wiki software itself is insanely easy to use, but difficult to master.
