This is where the instructions differ according to the web server and operating system you use, and whether you are the administrator or a simple user. See the appropriate pages for your web server and operating system combination.
On Linux, the export command will be used to remember the collected information. Windows users should write it down carefully (maybe cutting-and-pasting in a Notepad window), or store it in environment variables if they use the command prompt.
PREFIX is the prefix you used during the ../BasicInstallation
SHARE is the name of the share directory, as discussed at the bottom of ../BasicInstallation
WIKILOCATION is the name of the directory that will contain your wiki instance
INSTANCE is the directory containing the wiki instance. It cannot be an existing directory readable through Apache, otherwise it will fail.
If you are an administrator, you also need to collect the following:
USER is the user name of the web server
GROUP is the name of the group to which the web server belongs
Now, Linux folks, let's store these settings in memory:
> export PREFIX=/usr # this might be something else > export SHARE=$PREFIX/share/moin # this should be correct for most people > export WIKILOCATION=$SHARE # this is just an example > export INSTANCE=mywiki # this is just an example
Administrators also need the following two lines:
> export USER=www-data # this is just an example > export GROUP=www-data # this is just an example
