= How to Make a Wiki =
We use the MoinMoin wiki.

To create a new wiki do the following:

1. from a shell

{{{
/group/reason/dream/apache/bin/make_wiki_instance.sh INSTANCE_NAME
}}}
 . where {{{INSTANCE_NAME}}} is the name of your wiki, this is a unix directory name.
2. Edit the files it tells you to, setting {{{INSTANCE_NAME}}} appropriately.

Your wiki will be accessible from:

 . {{{http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mwiki/INSTANCE_NAME.cgi}}}
The files you need to edit are are:

 . {{{/public/southbridge/dream/cgi/mwiki/INSTANCE_NAME.cgi}}}
and

 . {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/INSTANCE_NAME/wikiconfig.py}}}
In these, you need to replace {{{INSTANCE_NAME}}} with your wiki name.

= Technical stuff underneath your Wiki =

Your wiki is composed of 2 files and 2 directories:

 * {{{/public/southbridge/dream/cgi/mwiki/INSTANCE_NAME.cgi}}} - this is the cgi script that is run to access your wiki.
 * {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/INSTANCE_NAME/wikiconfig.py}}} - this is the wiki's configuration file. It holds things like paths to other files, how users are authenticated, default permissions, and where to find style sheets for you pages etc.
 * {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/INSTANCE_NAME/data}}} - this holds all the other internal stuff of your wiki, the pages, history etc. 
 * {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/INSTANCE_NAME/underlay}}} - this holds all the generic stuff for MoinMoin wikis, info on how to edit pages etc. 

To delete a wiki you need to remove: {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/INSTANCE_NAME}}}, which will need to be done by user apache, or by support, as well as {{{/public/southbridge/dream/cgi/mwiki/INSTANCE_NAME.cgi}}}. 

= Technical stuff underneath All Dream Wikis =

 * {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/data/moin-instances/}}} - holds all our MoinMoin wiki directories. This is a safe data directory, not publically accessible, but it is accessible to dreamers.  
 * {{{/group/reason/dream/apache/tools/moin-1.8.2/}}} - is the latest install directory for MoinMoin. This holds the MoinMoin python code, update scripts, etc. This is the {{{PREFIX}}} directory we used to install MoinMoin.
 * {{{/public/southbridge/dream/cgi-bin/mwiki/}}} - this holds all our wiki cgi scripts. 
 * {{{/public/southbridge/dream/cgi-bin/mwiki/.htaccess}}} - tells apache to use Cosign authentication for our wikis. 
 * {{{/public/southbridge/dream/web/mwiki/}}} - this is publically accessible and holds all wikis shared styles, themes, icons, etc.
