Forum:Personal offline wiki

How hard would it be to set up your own personal offline wiki?

Is it even possible?

 * As in, an off-site wiki, or a wiki you don't need to use the internet for?


 * As in a wiki that exists entirely on my own personal computer.
 * It would be useful on its own as a place to store my own information but
 * it would also allow me to work on my wiki pages on my own computer thus reducing the load on your servers
 * and thus being useful to you people too.

 * It is theoretically possible, assuming you had all the proper PHP files, and a program that can turn your localhost into a server. But it's not something worth getting in to - you're better off just editing the source in word.
 * "All you need to do" is install Apache (http server) and Mediawiki (wiki software). Both are free to install.

 * Consider looking at different WAMPs (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) packages before you install MediaWiki software (or MAMPs, if you have a Mac). You need more that just Apache before setting up a MediaWiki wiki. I've done this on my home Mac and it can take as little as 45 min. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Apr 2011 1:08 PM Pacific
