Err, Apache on Windows with IIS.   :-P

I first did it maybe 2 years ago without any problems other than a
learning curve.  It was a great experience that helped make dealing
with most web hosts a lot easier.

I was surprised to see port25 put up this primer on doing it.  But I
guess why not:  Someone else already laid down the ground work for
doing it a long time ago.

TWiki is a great solution too.  I'm certainly not knocking it.

re: Wiki for Windows

2008-02-12 Thread Mayo, Bill
We are running MediaWiki on Windows 2003 with IIS in a virtual machine (ESX 
Server).  The setup was a tad tricky.  I did not find the resource you 
indicated, but instead found several disparate resources, including the guide 
at MediaWiki itself and had to munge it all together.  I finally managed to get 
it going using our Windows domain logons even.

We are not heavy wiki users here (at least yet), but performance is no problem.

 It supports SharePoint templates.

  Can one do something like {{myTemplate}} or %INCLUDE[myTemplate]% to
dynamically include the contents of one wiki page on another wiki
page?  (Such that if the included page is updated, the update shows on
the including page?)

 And category-wise, it supports group-based security.

 Perhaps it isn't a wiki for purists - but it does a lot.

  Linux does a lot, but saying Linux can do everything Exchange can
do is bogus, too -- but I see that claim all the time from my friends

It still doesn't have a WYSIWYG editor (that I've seen), but you can get
third-party authentication providers that will let you auth out of
ActiveDirectory.

BTW I second the recommendation for ScrewTurn.

It runs well on a dual 800MHz PIII with 1.5GB of RAM - the machine also
runs WSUS 3 and (occasionally) GhostCast.

  TWiki is (out-of-the-box) not a very efficient program.  It's a
set of CGI scripts and uncached text files.  That means every request
for a TWiki page requires starting up the Perl runtime, re-compiling
the Perl script, re-parsing the wiki page, re-generating the HTML, and
then existing.  The next page request does it all over again.

  That said, if the VM solution works for you, why not use it?

 Has anyone done that, and if so, do you like it?

  From a wiki user/editor point-of-view, MediaWiki is, hands-down, the
best wiki I've used.  There's nothing like trial-by-fire on the
world's busiest wiki (Wikipedia) to get things hammered out.

  While I don't think I've used one yet, from everything I've read,
the so-called wiki in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is not
actually wiki.  It's more like a web share with a built-in WYSIWYG
editor.  Mayne that will do what somebody is looking for, but it's not
wiki.  (From what I've read, WSS 3.0's wiki doesn't use any kind of

Good in this case means runs on Windows without feature loss.

 

The free Wiki from TWiki.org is written in Perl there's a ready-made Windows
installer that includes both Perl and Apache.  They also have a ready-made
VM that runs Debian Linux.

 

The ready-made TWiki VM version runs about 3x faster than the ready-made
Windows version.  This can be seen both in browser response time and CPU
loading during simple operations.

 

So I start googling for the answer to:  Is there another Wiki that runs on
Windows, for free and fast?

 

I run into this web page:

http://www.yafla.com/dennisforbes/Many-Ways-to-Skin-a-Wiki-Hosting-a-Wiki-on
-Windows/Many-Ways-to-Skin-a-Wiki-Hosting-a-Wiki-on-Windows.html

 

which describes how to host MediaWiki on, of all things, IIS.

 

Has anyone done that, and if so, do you like it?

 

thanks,

Carl

 What's wrong with the Wiki in WSS 3.0? I've been very happy with it.

  While I don't think I've used one yet, from everything I've read,
the so-called wiki in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is not
actually wiki.  It's more like a web share with a built-in WYSIWYG
editor.  Mayne that will do what somebody is looking for, but it's not
wiki.  (From what I've read, WSS 3.0's wiki doesn't use any kind of
wiki markup; it uses HTML.  There's no auto-linking option.  No
categories.  No TOCs or wiki templates or anything.)
