 I have copied over the ikiwiki.setup file from /usr/share/doc/ikiwiki/ to /etc/ikiwiki/ and run it after editing. My site gets built but when I click on the 'edit' button, firefox and google chrome download the cgi file instead of creating a way to edit it. The permissions on my ikiwiki.cgi script look like this: -rwsr-sr-x  1 root root 13359 2009-10-13 19:21 ikiwiki.cgi. Is there something I should do, i.e. change permissions, so I can get it to run correctly? (jeremiah)

+Just a note, perl 5.10 isn't packaged as part of RHEL or thus CentOS nor EPEL,

+Did anyone tried to install ikiwiki under a vhost setup ? 
+ikiwiki is installed under a debian lenny system. but without write acces to /etc/ikiwiki (obvious) i am coming not far.
+Or do i miss something which is probably hidden deeper in the documentation ?
+
+Well it should be similar to shared hosting [or a remote server in general](http://ikiwiki.info/forum/how_to_setup_ikiwiki_on_a_remote_host/)
+
+----
+Perhaps it's worth noting that when installing ikiwiki with apt on Debian stable, you need to use the backports version in order to follow the setup instructions.

+The mentioned docker image does not seem to be supported anymore. For those interested I've setup another docker image here on [[github|https://github.com/dgsb/docker-ikiwiki]] and here on [[docker hub|https://hub.docker.com/r/dgsb/ikiwiki/]]. It has the advantage of not being sandboxed and using a local repository through a volume to setup the content of the wiki. A ssh server is also started in order to push/pull to/from the container -- David
