Ruwiki Hosting at OCS Solutions

Ruwiki is a simple and extensible wiki written in Ruby. Ruwiki supports both CGI and WEBrick interfaces, of which we use the CGI interface at OCS Solutions through Apache. It has support for templates, formatting via CSS, project namespaces (the ability for two pages to have the same name for different projects without conflicting). It also contains international support and comes with German and Spanish localizations of the messages included with the distribution.

Installing Ruwiki is very easy on both our Cpanel and Webmin servers. Simply create a directory (or use your main public_html folder if you wish), connect via SSH to your account, navigate to that folder, and type ruwiki install cgi. The ruwiki.cgi program and templates and data directory will be created, along with the ruwiki.conf configuration file.

Simply navigate to the ruwiki.cgi file in your browser (relative to the path you installed it in) and you're ready to get started! No further configuration is required to run Ruwiki on our servers (other than customizing it to your needs, of course).

NOTE: Webmin users will need to put the ruwiki.cgi file in the /cgi-bin/ folder.

All of our virtual web hosting plans come with Ruwiki support. We also support it on our managed servers and will install it on managed virtual dedicated servers.
