 ====== Apache Server for this Wiki ======
-The purpose of this page is to document how I set up a web server for this wiki.   The original host for this wiki was on deluxehosting.com.   Deluxehosting has been a reliable service.   I am going to try a moving the content to a standalone server.   First will be a private server.   Not sure where or when the final resting place will be for the content of this wiki.

-The server will be:  Linux (Debian, Mx Linux), Apache and PHP.   Today it is Mx LInux 21, Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.4
+The server will be: Linux (Debian, Mx Linux), Apache and PHP. Today it is Mx LInux 21, Apache 2.4,  PHP 7.4 and Dokuwiki
+Things that have  slowed the progress of getting the server "stable".
+)  Dokuwiki as delivered by Mx Linux is "not the latest".    After some fumbling, I re-discovered that using Dokuwiki from the Debian release is NOT the right thing to do.   One should:  Install Dokuwiki from the Dokuwiki site.   Why?   The Debian/MxLinux version of Dokuwiki is not up to date and the directory organization is different.
+)  The apache configuration went smoothly until I tried to configure the "https" version of the site.    Apache/SSL documentation is complex.   I have not found a "recipe" for a "simple" configuration.  So I found this:  [[https://geekflare.com/apache-setup-ssl-certificate/|/apache-setup-ssl-certificate/]] This looks promising...
