This page describes how to install
ScrewTurn Wiki using the file-system data storage.
If you plan to use
ScrewTurn Wiki in a web farm, please use the
SQL Server-based version.
- Download the File-System Data Storage ZIP package from the download page
- Verify that your system has the .NET Framework 3.5 installed
- Create a new directory to host your wiki, e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wiki
- You'll find a WebApplication directory in the ZIP file; copy all the contents into the new directory
- Configure the new directory as Application or Website in IIS
- Open the web.config file with a text editor and set the MasterPassword field with a password that will be used for the built-in admin account, for example:
<add key="MasterPassword" value="my_password_123" />
- In the new directory, set the permissions of the public directory so that the ASP.NET Worker Process has "Modify" permissions on it
- on IIS 7/7.5 in Integrated Pipeline Mode, set permissions for the user account defined by the Application Pool that runs the wiki
- on IIS 7/7.5 in Classic Pipeline Mode or IIS 6, set permissions for "NETWORK SERVICE"
- on IIS 5 or 5.1, set permissions for "ASPNET"
- Launch a browser and navigate to your wiki
- Login with admin and the password set in web.config.
