WiGit is a simple Wiki written in PHP, using Git as a backend for tracking changes. Besides Git, this wiki makes use of Textile for marking up text.
- Very simple and light
- Easily customizable using themes
- Extensive syntax for marking up text (using Textile)
- Full history tracking support
- Basic support for users/authors, by using the HTTP authentication headers to extract the user.
- Support for pretty URLs (using URL rewriting)
- Webserver
- PHP 5.3.2
- Git
- Put the WiGit dir in some place where the webserver can find it
- Make sure there's a
datasubdir, and that it is writable by the webserver - Optionally: In directory
etccopyconfig.php.sampletoconfig.php, and editconfig.phpto reflect your local settings - Surf to the wigit URL, and you should start by editing the front page
For URL rewriting, change the script_url to be the base URL prefix (as
is shown in the config file), and add the necessary URL rewrite rules for
your webserver. E.g.,
-
For Apache, add the following to .htaccess in your wigit install dir:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wigit/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule (.*) /wigit/index.php?r=$1 [L] -
For lighttpd, add the following to your config file:
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/wigit/themes/(.)" => "$0", "^/wigit(.)" => "/wigit/index.php?r=$1", )
(where /wigit is replaced by your own base url)
For user support, configure your webserver to require authentication for the wigit install dir. E.g.
-
For Apache, add the following to .htaccess in your wigit install dir:
AuthType Basic AuthName "My WiGit" AuthUserFile /path/to/passwords/file Require valid-user
-
For lighttpd, add the following to your config file:
auth.backend = "htdigest" auth.backend.htdigest.userfile = "/path/to/htdigest/file" auth.require = ( "/wigit" => ( "method" => "digest", "realm" => "My WiGit", "require" => "valid-user", ) )
