## apache 2
-* Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add a line like this:
+* Make sure the cgi module is loaded. (Ie, `a2enmod cgi`).
+ Note that the cgid module will not work.
+
+* Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (or /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf)
+ and add a line like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Or, if you've put it in a `~/public_html`, edit
`/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf`.
+* If your wiki is in `~/public_html` and does not appear when you enter the URL given by the installer, check that you have
+ the userdir mod enabled (there should be simlinks to userdir.load and userdir.conf in /etc/apache2/modes-enabled). If not,
+ run `a2enmod userdir` and reload apache2.
+
* You may also want to enable the [[plugins/404]] plugin.
To make apache use it, the apache config file will need a further
modification to make it use ikiwiki's CGI as the apache 404 handler.
server (offline). I am not sure of how secure this approach is.
If you have any thought about it, feel free to let me know.
+## nginx
+
+To run CGI under nginx, you need to use a FastCGI wrapper. The wrapper must be started somehow just like any other FastCGI program. You can use launchd on OSX.
+
+In Linux, you will need the spawn-fcgi and fcgiwrap packages and start
+them with:
+
+ spawn-fcgi -s /tmp/fcgi.socket -n -- /usr/sbin/fcgiwrap
+
+This needs to be ran as your user. It can be added to `inittab` or
+made into a startup script in `init.d`. You may also need to make this file writable by the webserver, if that's running as a different user, e.g.:
+
+ chmod a+w /tmp/fcgi.socket
+
+Then you need an nginx config plugged in that wrapper. Here's an
+example virtual host configuration:
+
+ server {
+ #listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
+ #listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
+
+ root /home/anarcat/public_html/wiki.reseaulibre.ca/;
+ index index.html index.htm;
+
+ # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
+ server_name wiki.reseaulibre.ca;
+
+ location / {
+ try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
+ }
+ location /ikiwiki.cgi {
+ fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fcgi.socket;
+ fastcgi_index ikiwiki.cgi;
+ fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/anarcat/public_html/ikiwiki.cgi;
+ fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /home/anarcat/public_html/wiki.reseaulibre.ca;
+ include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
+ }
+ }
+
+Also, note that the `/tmp/fcgi.socket` file needs to be writable by the webserver. I am also unsure as to the security of this setup, as I am using this only on my dev server. Needless to say that [[real fastcgi support|todo/fastcgi_or_modperl_installation_instructions]] would be great. ;) --[[anarcat]]
