Question

Set up Tikiwiki on Digital Ocean

Posted April 7, 2017 2.9k views
ApplicationsUbuntu 16.04

I have been trying to install tikiwiki on a digitalocean droplet, yet I fail to get past the placeholder that displays once I logged in via SSH.

I followed the instructions in the 4 year old tutorial, and the advise of the support, both to no avail.

Furthermore, for the heck of it, I tried to run a wordpress droplet. Here the same thing happens, the only thing I manage to bring up is the shark placeholder screen.

If anyone can set up a tikiwiki on a droplet and walk me through it, would be greatly appreciated.

Do not contact support about this, your droplet is unmanaged. What “placeholder” are you referring to?

    Well, Support told me that it is unmanaged. Fortunately I found this part of digitalocean now where I can also ask questions. Part of the learning curve.

    With placeholder I mean what you see when you visit http://ark.wiki.lc/ at the moment.

      Why isn’t ark.wiki.lc pointing to your DigitalOcean IP? And which webserver did you install?

        It is pointing to this IP.
        http://207.154.212.72/

        And this is a Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP Droplet.

          It’s not pointing to that IP, it’s pointing to 144.76.162.245. Did you SSH in yet?

            Yes I log in via SSH to execute commands from tutorials and instructions.

            You can also check the IP I have provided, what results there is relevant.

            I have set the forwarding to the IP mentioned above.

            At any rate, my problem is that so far I havent been able to see anything but the placeholder screen, whether I follow instructions to install tikiwiki, or whether I try to One-click-install Wordpress.

            So what I am kindly asking for, again, is a recent tutorial to make an Tikiwiki Install on Digitalocean.

            I sincerely doubt it’s the LAMP droplet because there’s no webserver running.

            Again, it is irrelevant where the domain is pointing to. I have given you the IP of the droplet. All the droplet shows when I browse to it is the placeholder.

            Example:

            *** System restart required ***

            Thank you for using DigitalOcean’s LAMP Application.

            LAMP has now been enabled. You can access your LAMP instance at:
            Your web root is located at /var/www/html and can be seen from
            http://207.154.212.72

            The details of your PHP installation can be seen at
            http://207.154.212.72/info.php

            And browsing to 207.154.212.72/info.php yields

            Unable to connect

            Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 207.154.212.72.

            So this is my problem. I either get unable to connect or the placeholder from my droplet.

            (And please, refrain from telling me yet again where the domain is probably pointing to. The issue is a different one.)

            The LAMP droplet by default has a running webserver, you should start over.
