The Debian PHPwiki package (which Ubuntu uses pretty much unmodified) sets up PHPwiki to be visible at http://your-site/phpwiki/ by default. As you install the package you should be asked a debconf question to give you the opportunity to change this. I've not heard of adept before, but if you're not getting asked this question blame adept. Thanks for the reply Matt When I installed phpwiki I just accepted the default for the installation directory, and it ended up in /usr/share/. I've tried making a soft link to /var/www/ but it didn't work - I got the following error: lib/main.php:20: Fatal[2048]: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, hoping to get the package installation prompts again, but apt-get seems to remember where it was previously installed. Any idea how I can make apt-get completely forget the previous installation so I can start again? Jim Ford |
