Installing ScrewTurn Wiki (File-System)

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.

INPUT_DIR refers to the WebApplication directory supplied along this file.
TARGET_DIR refers to the directory the application will live in on your server.

Note: depending on the environment you are running, the following steps might require minor adjustments.

1. Create TARGET_DIR if it does not already exist; be sure that the directory is empty.
2. Copy all the files from INPUT_DIR into TARGET_DIR.
3. 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" />

   
   
4. Set the permissions of the "public" directory so that the ASP.NET Worker Process has "Modify" permissions on it (usually, the ASP.NET Worker Process runs as "NETWORK SERVICE" or "ASPNET", depending on the Operating System version).
5. Setup a Web Site or Application in IIS, setting the root directory to TARGET_DIRECTORY.
6. Navigate to the Web Site or Application using a web browser and verify that everything works properly.
7. Login using "admin" and the password you entered in the web.config file.
