Server Admin Tip - Creating a Wiki on a Windows XP Machine
I just created a company wiki for the Product Development team at Collis and I came across a very useful article about setting up such a wiki on Windows XP.
Just about everyone has heard of WikiPedia, but there is a huge variety of ways to set up a wiki. I chose to use MediaWiki, which powers WikiPedia.
After much grief from an unco-operative PHP installation, I found this article - Many Ways to Skin a Wiki - Hosting a Wiki on Windows by Dennis Forbes. The step by step guide was invaluable and probably saved me hours of headache.
The process is a bit more long winded than I expected, but we now have an internal wiki which boasts all the power and ability (just about) of WikiPedia. Now just to get people to use it...
