 ====== 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, PHP 7.4 and Dokuwiki
+Things that have slowed the progress of getting the server "stable".
+) Dokuwiki as delivered in 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 not as describe by the dokuwiki documentation.  Since the installation on Deluxehosting has a directory layout like the dokuwiki documentation, I am not using the dokuwiki package/installation provided by Debina/MxLinux.
+) 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…
