To get the Oddmuse wiki up and running on 25 Dec 2007:

• looked at http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Setup and http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Setup_on_a_Unix_System and http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Setup_on_a_Mac_OSX_System — and decided to set up following the UNIX instructions, for maximum compatibility between the home laptop stand-alone wiki on Apple Macintosh OSX and UNIX server on http://zhurnaly.com/
• looked at http://www.emacswiki.org/scripts/current

saw that it was version 1.834 dated 15 Dec 2007 * looked at http://savannah.gnu.org and searched for "oddmuse" * followed links to "Browse Sources Repository" to "oddmuse" to "wiki.pl" which led to * http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/oddmuse/wiki.pl?root=oddmuse&view=log from which downloaded the then-latest version of Oddmuse's wiki.pl (= Revision 1.835 - Sat Dec 22 20:49:38 2007 UTC)

* as per directions on http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Setup_on_a_Unix_System (as an admin user on the Mac) placed a file named "wiki" in directory /Library/CGI-Executables/ with the following contents:

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 package OddMuse;
 $DataDir = '/Library/WebServer/Oddmuse';
 do 'current';

• did a "chmod +x wiki" to make the file "wiki" be executable
• created a directory named Oddmuse and made it world-read-writeable:

    mkdir /Library/WebServer/Oddmuse
    chmod 777 //Library/WebServer/Oddmuse

• copied the downloaded file "wiki.pl" to /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/current and then did "chmod +x current" to make "current" be executable
• browsed to http://localhost/cgi-bin/wiki and saw the empty home page
• tested system by editing the HomePage, creating a SandBox, commenting on it, etc. — and noted the lack of markup
• on http://zhurnaly.com I did the same as above (except for the path to the cgi-bin directory and the path to the data directory to put oddmuse data files into)
• as per http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Setup_on_a_Unix_System on both home and remote systems created a file "config" in the oddmuse data directory:

 package OddMuse;
 $SiteName  = "ZhurnalyWiki";
 $StyleSheetPage = 'ZhurnalyWikiStyleSheet';
 $LogoUrl = '/images/zh.gif';
 $CommentsPrefix = 'Comments_on_';
 $AdminPass ='****';

• set the Admin password to whatever it is now set to (not !) * created a "modules" directory in the Oddmuse data directory * downloaded Oddmuse extensions creole.pl (from http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Creole_Markup_Extension ) and image.pl (from http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Image_Extension ) and put them into the oddmuse data directory * created and placed in "modules" the file module_extensions.pl as per Alex Schröder's suggestion to permit blockquotes (and maybe some day other extensions):
  ` push(@MyRules, \&amp;BlockQuoteRule); sub BlockQuoteRule { # indented text using : with the option of spanning multiple text paragraphs (but not lists etc). if (InElement('blockquote') &amp;&amp; m/\G(\s*\n)+:[ \t]*/cog) { return CloseHtmlEnvironmentUntil('blockquote') . AddHtmlEnvironment('p'); } elsif ($bol &amp;&amp; m/\G(\s*\n)*:[ \t]*/cog) { return CloseHtmlEnvironments() . AddHtmlEnvironment('blockquote') . AddHtmlEnvironment('p'); } return undef; } * created ZhurnalyWikiStyleSheet to hold CSS, based on <a class="url http" href="http://zhurnal.net/wiki/css/zhurnalwiki.css">http://zhurnal.net/wiki/css/zhurnalwiki.css</a> and <a class="url http" href="http://zhurnaly.com/zhurnaly.css">http://zhurnaly.com/zhurnaly.css</a> and <a class="url http" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/oddmuse/wiki.css">http://www.emacswiki.org/oddmuse/wiki.css</a> * began testing! --- [[TopicProgramming]] - [[TopicZhurnal]] - 2007-12-27<br /> --- --- //(correlates: [[Comments on ZhurnalyWikiStyleSheet]], [[Oddmuse Local]], [[Comments on HomePage]], ...)//
