Download and install easyphp first from www.easyphp.org. (Instead of installing separately Apache and MySQL.)

Hi Chris, Thanks for the links. I also found "http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_on_a_stick" on Meta, and got to "Configure the Wiki" at which point I got lost - the directions are quite unclear. I don't know how to get the initial wiki configuration done...

I'm not trying to run a server or anything like that, but simply use a

on my computer (not published to the internet) for a few things I've written.

Hi all,
Is there a site where I can download and run a wiki on my owncomputer? Preferably mediawiki, but something that's as easy as Firefox
or
Media Player to install.
Thanks,
James
MediaWiki can be downloaded from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download. You're using Outlook, and therefore Windows, which doesn't natively support tar and gzip; I recommend http://www.7-zip.org/ for decompressing the archive. You need an HTTP server, such as Apache (http://apache.org/) and PHP (http://www.php.net/) to run MediaWiki. Don't let the term "HTTP server" scare you; you don't need to allow others access to your computer.
