# Introduction
I had some trouble installing ikiwiki on to a shared hosting service (DreamHost) and figured I'd post the results, since it was pretty rough to get installed. These instructions should work for Perl generally (some of the docs are borrowed from Catalyst's docs), but are tailored for Ikiwiki. There are a few items I'll file as bugs, as well, to aid future installation, but frankly the problems appear to be with installing perl as a non-root user, not anything specific to iki.

**Note: CPAN seems to die without warning, or die after successfully install modules. It appears to just like dying. If you encounter this, retry the last command after restarting CPAN.** Unfortunately, this doc can't cover how to fix any other problems with CPAN beyond what you find here.
# Fixing CPAN
[good]$ ls -la ~
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 25 2007-08-03 16:44 /home/user -> /home/.server/user
-So far, it looks like only the source and destination parameters require this unsymlinked path, but for paranoia reasons, you may want to put them everywhere. [[news/version_2.14]] explains why this happens.
+So far, it looks like only the source and destination parameters require this unsymlinked path, but for paranoia reasons, you may want to put them everywhere. The changelog for version 2.14 explains why this happens.
Next, add your installed Perl module directory to the *libdir* parameter. It should look something like :
libdir => "/home/.server/user/site/perl/lib/perl5/",
# CGI Wrapper
+The CGI wrapper file will be created automatically by "ikiwiki --setup path/to/setup", as long as you have inserted a valid filename to be created into the setup file. On DreamHost, be careful not to put the ikiwiki.cgi file in a directory that has different owner/group than the file itself (such as the main site.domain.tld/ directory): this will cause suexec to fail.

The wrapper mode of "06755" doesn't seem to work. "755" appears to. However, this may be completely insecure and/or buggy, so if you know better than I, edit this doc and add it here.
# Pre-created SVN repository
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=YOUR_INSTALL_PATH_HERE/include/
export LIBRARY_PATH=YOUR_INSTALL_PATH_HERE/lib/
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=YOUR_INSTALL_PATH_HERE/lib/
Then you should be able to install the module, and it'll be faster.
