I am trying to install the incredible DekiWiki on Uniform Server. I've already succeeded using WOS (after many days and much 'googling') but I much prefer Uniserver...

My first problem is that I cannot enable 'mod_proxy' or 'mod_proxy_http'--the server simple stops working if these modules are enabled. They are not included in standard Uniserver release but I have added them manually. Am I missing something? Or are the dependancies for Deki Wiki too many?

Any ideas, hints or suggestions would be much appreciated!

If you added them manually, whats the problem?

I added the modules manually, and enabled them in the apache conf file. Now the Uniserver refuses to start until I disable the two proxy modules I need...

Where did you get mod_proxy from? Do you have a link?

If the module was compiled for a newer version it wont work. UniServer uses Apache2.0.59.

Yeah, you need the modules for the right version of Apache and as Marshy said....

I downloaded the mod_proxy & mod_proxy_http modules for Apache 2.0.59 and enabled them in the http.conf and UniServer is fine. PHPINFO() reports both modules as loaded.

If you need to get the modules, take a look at this.

Ahhhhh! Version numbers! Many thanks, that helped me to get mod_proxy working...now let's see if I can get Dekiwiki working this morning.

Almost succeeded! Everything appears to work, I can access the my new Dekiwiki site, but I just cannot get mod_proxy to function, so the site does not function corrently. See Trouble with mod_proxy...

So, just one last hurdle--it's cost me hours of messing about to get this far, but hopefully worth it! If I succeed I will post the full instructions for those who are interested.

Success! Will post full instructions on Dekiwiki forum... once I can make sense of my own explanations.

Thanks for all the advice freely given. I should mention that Dekiwiki runs much fast on Uniserver than WOS or xampplite. So as they say here in Tanzania: 'hongera' (congrats) for an excellent product.

Glad to hear you got it working!!

Thanks

 

You can also post it here under User-Made forum...

Shall do. I'm still having problems with Dekiwiki in Vista though; the Uniform Server/Dekiwiki setup works superbly on XP, many times faster than my previous WOS install ;-), but something in Vista is preventing the update of text edits...

Working on it!

Vista's Privilege setting probably... You have to run everything as Admin.. Sucks!!

Thought the same too, and I'm running everything as an Administrator (UAC off) but still doesn't work! Funny thing is that this problem only affects the content of pages, not other meta-data, attachments or comments...can't quite see what could cause the problem, like I said XP runs great!

Thanks for the thought all the same, I'll find the issue eventually.
