Assuming you have a basic LAMP setup like the one used by the DigitalOcean One-Click application or as described in this tutorial, creating multiple wikis under the same domain is as simple as creating sub-folders in the /var/www/html
directory.
First we’ll download Dokuwiki itself and extract it in our home directory:
- cd ~
- wget http://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
- tar xzvf dokuwiki-stable.tgz
- rm dokuwiki-stable.tgz
Now we’ll make two copies in the wiki-a
and wiki-b
subfolders:
- cp -R dokuwiki* /var/www/html/wiki-a
- cp -R dokuwiki* /var/www/html/wiki-b
We’ll also need to make one addition to our Apache VitualHost. This is to make sure that certain directories are not publicly accessible on the internet. Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
and add the following inside the VitualHost block.
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
<LocationMatch "/(data|conf|bin|inc)/">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</LocationMatch>
Next, make sure the permissions are correct:
- sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
Finally, you can finish installation by visiting the URLs for both wikis:
http://your.ip.addr/wiki-a/install.php
http://your.ip.addr/wiki-b/install.php

One of the most common steps to take when setting up a new server is to install a LAMP stack. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These individual components, when used together, allow us to host dynamic web content like websites and web apps on our server. We will demonstrate how to install these pieces and configure a basic setup for Ubuntu 14.04 in this guide.
