-====== Installation ======
+===== Installation =====
-All one has to know is written on [[https://wiki.debian.org/DokuWiki|debian.org on how to install DokuWiki on Debian]] and [[install:debian|dokuwiki.org on how to install DokuWiki on Debian]]. What's true for Debian is true for Ubuntu too.
+These are instructions on how to install a single DokuWiki under Ubuntu 14.04. Other version installations are discussed below. If you want to install a DokuWiki Farm, follow these instructions and then visit the [[:farms|Farm Page]].
-===== Custom Installation =====
+Please note that there is a dokuwiki package in the Ubuntu repositories. If you want to use it, please see the [[install:debian|Debian install page]] instead. This article describes the installation of DokuWiki from a tarball. (The Ubuntu and Debian packages follow the Debian directory conventions and that is why different steps are needed when using the Ubuntu/Debian package).
-:!: For Ubuntu 16.04 you will want to use libapache2-mod-php7.0 and make sure to install php7.0-xml with apt-get
+:!: **For Ubuntu 16.04** you will want to use libapache2-mod-php7.0 and make sure to install php7.0-xml, php7.0 with apt-get
+Upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I had to add the following:
+  * apt-get install php7.0
+  * apt-get install php-mbstring
+  * apt-get install php7.0-xml
+This resolved all the issues restoring Dokuwiki back to normal prior to the upgrades.

 ===== Additional Installation Information =====
 For more information on installing and configuring Dokuwiki on Ubuntu, see [[debian_ubuntu_extras]].
-====== Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin ======
-Ubuntu provides a ''dokuwiki'' package.
-The package will install three categories of files:
-  * immutable files in ''/usr/share/dokuwiki''
-  * configuration files in ''/etc/dokuwiki''
-  * data files and plugins in ''/var/lib/dokuwiki''
-Install it. I used Ubuntu 12.04.5.
-<code bash>sudo apt-get install -y dokuwiki</code>
-This will prompt you for which webserver to use, Apache 2 or lighttpd. Pick one.
-It will also prompt you for the admin password.  Choose one and enter it.
-If you're lucky, installation is done, and you can start using DokuWiki at [[http://localhost/dokuwiki]].
-If not, you will need to make further changes to your webserver configuration.
-I used Apache 2, and what the package does is add a symlink
-  /etc/apache2/conf.d/dokuwiki.conf -> /etc/dokuwiki/apache.conf
-that maps the [[http://localhost/dokuwiki]]* URL space to DokuWiki and grants access only to localhost.
-I edited the file to provide wider access and also had to edit rewrite rules elsewhere in my Apache configuration that counteracted this.
-After that, I could log in as admin and edit pages.
-Note that running [[http://localhost/dokuwiki/install.php]] will report permission errors on directories that don't actually exist.
-This is harmless - it is just ''install.php'' not being smart enough to detect that the directories in question are located elsewhere.  You don't actually need to run ''install.php'' or fix these things like the text below suggests.
