This is a very brief how-to, no details, but good for those, who want to try FlexWiki

What you need first

• Windows Server 2003 (or XP)
• Running IIS
• The web-full-Release.zip from the sourceforge download page

Steps.

Deployment

• If this server is for the FlexWiki, do the following:
• Unzip the files into the webroot folder (c:\Inetpub\wwwroot by default)
• If you run more web applications (more wikis maybe)
• Unzip the files into a chosen folder
• In IIS manager, share this folder as a virtual directory ( more info )

later on we will refer to the shared folder as fwfolder

Giving rights

• If you want Anonymous read/write
• Make sure the IUSR_{computername} user can read fwfolder and can write the subfolders of fwfolder\WikiBases
• Advanced
• Take a look at fwfolder\Web.config file security settings section (about line 105-147)

Now, you are ready to use your flexwiki with a default namespace, try it! (Always use the same domainname in the url, or the cache will mess up links. Eg. don't use http://localhost/flexwiki , just http://myserver.com/flexwiki )

Configuring a namespace

• Open the fwfolder\WikiBases\NamespaceMap.xml and edit the "DefaultNamespace" and the provider parameters
• rename the fwfolder\WikiBases subfolders respectively
• edit the _ContentBaseDefinition through the wiki engine, or at file level
