HowTo: Installing the ))TikiWiki(( CMS on a Mitel SME 5.6 Server

These are the steps I took to install tikiwiki ([http://www.tiki.org/]) on my Mitel SME 5.6 Developer Release.  There may be redundancy in some of these steps, or some weak security practices.  Please let [mailto:jlewis@arachnerd.org|me] know if you have any suggestions or improvements.

All of the below commands (in monospace) should be performed as root from a terminal session on your SME server.

1) Set up all your ibays with a PHPBaseDir (you need to do all of them to work around some later version PHP issues I encountered).  In my case I went with using / as the PHPBaseDir, but you could also use /home/e-smith/files.  You need to be aware of this when setting up tiki's tmp directory.
** -+ /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop <ibayname> PHPBaseDir / +-
** -+ /sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify <ibayname> +-
	
2) Up your default php memory allotment (I changed mine to 16M)
** -+ mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini +-
** -+ cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini20ResourceLimits /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/20ResourceLimits +-
** -+ pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini +-
***|| change  |~np~ my $ml = db_get_prop($confref, 'php', 'MemoryLimit') || "8M"; ~/np~
         to         |~np~  my $ml = db_get_prop($confref, 'php', 'MemoryLimit') || "16M"; ~/np~||
***|| change  |~np~ my $et = db_get_prop($confref, 'php', 'MaxExecutionTime') || "30"; ~/np~
         to         |~np~  my $et = db_get_prop($confref, 'php', 'MaxExecutionTime') || "60"; ~/np~||
** -+ cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories +-
** -+ pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories +-
***|| change  |~np~  include_path            = ".:/usr/share/php" ~/np~ |
         to         |~np~  include_path            = ".:/usr/share/pear" ~/np~||
** -+ /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini +-

3) Make edits to httpd.conf to point to correct pear files (suggested by [http://www.e-smith.org/bboard//read.php?v=t&f=3&i=24710&t=24710)]
** -+ cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/95AddType00PHP2ibays /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/95AddType00PHP2ibays +-
** -+ pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/95AddType00PHP2ibays +-
*** || change  |~np~ "php_admin_value open_basedir $basedir\n"; ~/np~
          to         |~np~ "php_admin_value open_basedir $basedir:/usr/share/pear\n"; ~/np~||
** -+ /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf +-

4) Download the latest tiki package from www.tiki.org, install into your ibay
** -+ cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibayname>/files +-
** -+ wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tikiwiki/tikiwiki_1.7.2.tar.gz +-
** -+ tar zxvf tikiwiki_1.7.2.tar.gz +-

5) Copy the files into your ibay root html folder (or you could cp -R the tiki_1.7.2 directory to the html dir)
** -+ cd ../html +-
** -+ cp -Ru ../files/tikiwiki_1.7.2/* . +-

6) Edit tiki files to allow tiki to run under php safemode (from http://www.tiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=InstallTikiUnderSafeMode)
** -+ pico tiki/Smarty/Smarty.class.php  +-
**  on line 286: 
*** || change  |~np~ var $use_sub_dirs = true; ~/np~
          to         |~np~ var $use_sub_dirs = false; ~/np~||
	
7) Change the permissions of the files so they will run properly in the ibay (look to see what the existing perms are for that Ibay, and copy them)
** -+ chmod -R 2770 /home/e-smith/files/<ibayname>/html +-
** -+ chown -R admin:<ibaygroupname> /home/e-smith/files/<ibayname>/html +-
	
8) Set up your database
** -+ mysql_setpermission +-
	
9) In a web browser, connect to http://<yourserver>/<ibayname>/tiki-setup.php and enter in the appropriate info for:
** tmp directory (make sure its in your PHPBaseDir)
** Database (based on step 8)
	
That should do it.  Please let [mailto:jlewis@arachnerd.org|me] know if you have any updates/corrections to make to this, and I will update accordingly.
