Help need to set up a Wiki
Afternoon,

I'm proposing setting up a Wiki for use within the company (approximately 20 people) that I work for. I started downloading the software for TWiki but it all became very complicated very quickly. I do have some experience with computer programming from when I was at college but this all seems very much over my head.

If anyone has any experience with corporate Wiki's I would be extremely grateful of any advice & software hints.

Cheers,

Dan

Not sure what platform you're using etc but i use Mediawiki (MediaWiki - MediaWiki) and found it very easy to set up using linux/apache/php/MySQL.

After extracting it and configuring apache to point to it the rest of the config was done via a web browser. Very fast and easy.

Would be on a Microsoft server based in the office, don't think I want to go down the online hosted avenue due to bandwidth etc.

Will check out that link.

Even an MS server (i assume its running IIS) can run php/mysql (they're free) so that would work. IIRC mediawiki can use MSSQl or some other formats too.

Im not aware of any wiki software that didnt at least require a database backend and php

Wiki on a VMware image
you could try a VMware appliance... takes a lot of the hassle out of setting up a server and flexible hosting too... I've used this method for Joomla hosting with no probs..

Twiki, Open source enterprize Wiki appliance. (Twiki on Debian)
