+To install dokuwiki:
-Backup dokuwiki first
+  wget https://download.dokuwiki.org/out/dokuwiki-9beb5257bbbc840e687c3b130541d3d2.tgz
-  tar zcpfv dokuwiki-backup.tar.gz /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Haacks/dokuwiki
+  tar zxvf doku.tgz
+Once that's done, follow the instructions in  [[https://wiki.haacksnetworking.org|Apache Survival]] in order to set up a dedicated domain and virtual host for your wiki. Once that's done, replace the ''public_html'' directory with the dokuwiki directory above. Once that's done, establish correct permissions:
-Download dokuwiki, untar it, copy it to primary dokuwiki directory
+  sudo chmod g+rwx /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki
+  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
+  sudo chown -R www-data:user /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
+  sudo chown www-data:user /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data
+  sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data
+  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/lib
+  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
+  cd /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data/
+  sudo chmod 2775 {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp,media_attic,media_meta}
+  sudo chown www-data:user {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp,media_attic,media_meta}
+After permissions are all set, navigate to the installer page so it can instantiate the database and global wiki settings.
+  https://wiki.jonathanhaack.com/install.php
+Eventually your instance will become outdated and you will need to [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:upgrade|upgrade]]. In that case, first back up the install, then wget the new tgz file, then unpack and migrate the new content on top of the existing as follows:
+  zip -r doku-bu-date.zip /path/to/doku
   wget https://getdownloadlinkfromsite.tgz
   tar zxvf dokuwiki-example-39fe13964.tgz
   'cp' -af dokuwiki/* /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/
-Often, I need to recursively chmod the entire dokuwiki directory at 777, and then one by one fix the permissions on dokuwiki after I do the upgrade/copy command from above.  Here are the permissions I use:
+Remember, the permissions will be wrong on the files you copied over since root performed that task. In order to make the instance functional again, you need to re-update the permissions (same as above):
   sudo chmod g+rwx /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki

-Dokuwiki details their permission recommendations here:  [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:permissions|Install Permissions]].  The page is a bit complicated so the above is a simpler (but longer in syntax) version of the whole page, including the partial synopsis they put at the end, which I reprint below.
+Dokuwiki details their rational for these permission recommendations here:  [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:permissions|Install Permissions]]. The recommended permissions from them - which I used to make my own permissions above - are listed below for historical reference:
