Hello, I installed DSL on a Toshiba 220CS laptop.
DSL is running perfectly, where the old W98 system was very troublesome!
I want to use it mainly to run a wiki-engine, for private use to store everything I need in my personal knowledge base. I want to query the wiki on my laptop, or on the local network it is attached to.
I started off with prowiki.org, which seemed a perfect minmalistic wiki running with Perl, but it doesn't work (missing cgi.pm, and got all sorts of compatibility problems while trying to upgrade)

Has anybody succesfully got a simple wiki running under DSL/webmonkey?

(Please no wiki-flavour wars, I just want to hear succesfull experiences)

Sorry that there is no reply sofar :(

Perl is no good in DSL. I cannot update Perl by apt-get, neither can I install cgi.pm by CPAN...

So I tried to install Python, and put the monkeywiki.py in /opt/monkey/cgi-bin/ and changed the parameters, according to the manual.

monkeywiki is a very tiny wiki -but fully featured- and could be well suited to run under DSL. After creating my first page however, It refused to save any other changes. No errors given...

I tried monkeywiki.py with Ubuntu (apache) and here no problem. Any ideas?

It's probably a file permissions issue.  Make sure the user who runs monkeywiki.py (probably "nobody"?) has write permission to the wiki directory or directories.

There is a bourne shell (sh/bash) based minimalist wiki being developed by garbeam at suckless.org, although I have no idea about its current status.
