It didn’t go brilliantly, more work to do.

I discovered that moinmoin requires Python installed on the webhost and as far as I can tell mine doesn’t.

The documentation for installing most Wikis seems to assume you are installing on your own machine, rather than on a webhost, so it’s a bit daunting. I Furled Frankie’s guide to mediawiki on his own wiki and tried that. Managed to download the same version, unpacked it and ftp-d up. tried surfing to config directory to get instructions. At least PHP must work just by having files with extension .php

I found out I need to be able to make directories writable to install ( and run of course) and mine has no command line access. I tried the web interface and ftp. Anyway, it looks like I should be preparing to transfer out, so looking for domain hosting with decent priced web hosting with all the facilities including more than 10Mb capacity so I can have Movable Type as well.
