Running a Wiki?

[jonolumb]

Would a wiki run on the WL-500g using php-thttpd?
Such as -pmwiki, phpwiki or similar packages?
What version of php does php-thttpd run?
Thanks

I've had dokuwiki running on the WL-500g. This wiki does not need a database which is a big plus here.

just what I needed
thanks styno
by the way- tonight, I am going to start to make a very detailed How To (for the complete linux noob) on how to set up; samba, ssh, vsftpd and some other things right from the start. Where should I put this? In the wiki?
Another question on the side- does php-thppd only allow one person to connect to it at a time? This was my understanding of it (think I saw this on the NSLU2 community wiki)
Thanks

Yes, you can use the wiki for that, but you can also create a new topic in the Tutorials section. Remember, this section is moderated and your topic will not appear directly (it needs a moderator to approve it).

No, afaik, thppd allows for more than one concurrent user.

hi there styno
I got this wiki working but it seems exceptionally slow!
I'm running the WL-HDD on olegs latest firmware. I know this has less RAM than the WL-500g. I have tons of swap space- can you think of anything I can do to speed it up a bit.
Thanks

Hmm, this wiki uses caching which should speedup things considerably when someone visited the same page before. On the other hand, I'm not surprised this is slow... Have you tested any other wiki (or heavy software like a forum or CMS ) on the WL-HDD? I bet none is able to run smoothly.

Swap space is good, but using the harddisk for memory has one drawback: it reduces the speed enormously. If the swapspace is used extensively then consider moving as much software from the RAM as possible. Preferably use the external root filesystem feature of Oleg's firmware (run the firmware from the hdd instead of an internal ram disk).
