1 Installing phpwiki with SQLite
2 ------------------------------
4 SQLite support is highly experimental but necessary.
6 SQLite is from PHP5 on the default database, built in PHP's core.
7 MySQL is only a extension module and relatively hard to setup (or
8 impossible on certain windows builds such as php-5.0.0b4), similar to dba.
9 sqlite extensions exist for php-4.3.x but not for 4.2.x
10 Get the 4..3.x windows dll at http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_4_3/php_sqlite.dll
12 To setup the initial tables you currently need the external sqlite
13 executable client. On Microsoft Windows download the sqlite.exe binary
14 from http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.zip
15 We work on a solution to setup the database on a virgin wiki
16 automatically, so that the sqlite binary is not needed anymore.
18 sqlite /tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.db < schemas/sqlite-initialize.sql
20 Edit the DATABASE settings in config/config.ini to reflect your settings.
22 a) DATABASE_TYPE must be set to 'SQL'.
23 ADODB not yet. This is planned for the 1.4.0 release.
25 b) DATABASE_DSN should be set to something like
26 DATABASE_DSN = "sqlite:////tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.db?mode=0664&persistent=1"
28 That's it. PhpWiki should now work.
33 echo ".dump" | sqlite /tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.db > dump.sql
34 # fix the dump.sql file: adding indices or columns
35 mv /tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.db /tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.old
36 sqlite /tmp/phpwiki-sqlite.db < dump.sql
