History: InstallTikiOnFreeFr

Yes, some of you may think this is not possible, but I did it, and it works fine for the use I have.

There are some flaws which may have to be corrected, but... I did not have time yet.

The interresting part:
I first tryed to install by following the InstallWithOnlyFtpAccess. There's realy too much in there for this installation.

The first steps are realy easier:

Create your "site_perso". I think you already know how to do this, but for the short of it: create your mail acount, activate your "pages_perso", and your database. Nothing more. Keep in mind that the activation may take a couple of days.

Download a Tikiwiki tarball (I used version 1.8.5)
Create a directory "Site_root" which will correspond to you root directory on free servers.
In it, create three directories:
- one named exactly "include"
- one named exactly "sessions"
- and one with the name you want for example "wiki"
(remember, you will see the last one in the browser address bar: http://site_perso.free.fr/wiki/ )

untar the tikiwiki tarball in the "wiki" directory.

Then here is the job:
First
Find all .htaccess files:
-in the files with Filesmatch directives lookig like
<Filesmatch "*">
remove the lines with "Filesmatch" markups and the tabs at the begining of the other lines to have something like this:
order deny,allow
deny from all
-delete the files with Filesmatch directives lookig like
<Filesmatch "blablabla">

second
Copy everything from wiki/lib wiki/lib/pear wiki/lib/adodb in the "include" directory. (I said copy, not move !!!)
I know this will duplicate the files... but you have it working isn't it?
Here you may have a message because some files already exists. This is no problem... from what I remember, I checked and the files are the same, so use -u option (nix users) or chose erase files (windows users)

And then, move on with the process:
Use your favorite FTP utility to upload
