      <title>Creating a Sidebar</title>
      <description>&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Creating a sidebar
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;First, create a new page. We&amp;#8217;ll call it &amp;#8220;menu.&amp;#8221; &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Wrap the text in menu in the following code:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;
&amp;lt;div class="rightHandSide"&amp;gt;
[Your wiki formatted text here.]
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&lt;/code&gt;
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;It appears that only Textile formatting works for text in the sidebar.&lt;/span&gt; Can this be fixed/enhanced using &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div ...&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;When in the &lt;code&gt;/published/&lt;/code&gt; version (read only mode): links in the side bar still point to the &lt;code&gt;/show/&lt;/code&gt; version (editable mode).&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;The include-chunk (which is responsible to include other pages) creates a new PageRenderer and uses &amp;#8216;display_content&amp;#8217; instead of &amp;#8216;display_published&amp;#8217;.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIX&lt;/strong&gt; Lamerish but just use &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;a href="page_name"&amp;gt;Page Name&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Make sure to have two blank lines &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; the closing &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag!&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;At the start of any page you wish to include the sidebar, place the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;[[!&lt;/code&gt;&lt;code&gt;include menu]]&lt;/code&gt;
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Note: Updates to the included page will only appear on the including page when the including page is updated.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;You can replace &amp;#8220;menu&amp;#8221; with the name of the page you created for your sidebar. The menu for this site is &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/HomeNav"&gt;Home Nav&lt;/a&gt;. Click &amp;#8220;edit&amp;#8221; to see how it&amp;#8217;s done, and take a look at the source of the &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/HomeNav"&gt;Home Nav&lt;/a&gt; page as well.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;UPDATE&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;em&gt;The following note is no longer relevant, as of at least version 0.13.0. There well may be other things here which are outdate, but I leave that for others to catch&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/tomcloyd"&gt;tomcloyd&lt;/a&gt;-2008.08.24. Another Note:  This trick has the unfortunate side effect of making the &amp;#8220;Linked from&amp;#8221; section at the bottom of the page pretty useless, because every page that includes the sidebar will show up as a referring page for every item in the Menu.  Until someone adds a sane &amp;#8220;header&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;sidebar&amp;#8221; feature to Instiki, a quick way to disable the &amp;#8220;Linked from&amp;#8221; section completely is to modify the source file app/models/page.rb.  I changed the definition of the method linked_from by commenting out the real code and inserting the line &lt;strong&gt;return []&lt;/strong&gt; which causes the program to recognize no referring pages whatsoever.  This is ugly as sin, and no doubt breaks the test suite too, but so far it hasn&amp;#8217;t hurt my wiki a bit.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="property"&gt; category: &lt;a class="category_link" href="../list/Help"&gt;Help&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;from an &lt;strong&gt;Alexey Verkhovsky&lt;/strong&gt; email of 19 Mar 2006 to &lt;a href="mailto:instiki-users@rubyforge.org"&gt;instiki-users@rubyforge.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...the way to do it depends on which database you are using.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;For SQLite (default option), backing it up is simply a matter of copying the database file, which by default is located at instiki-0.11.0/db/production.db.sqlite3.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;This location, by the way, can be changed by editing instiki-0.11.0/config/database.yml, specifically the last line in the following section:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;production:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/production.db.sqlite3&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Note: all whitespace in database.yml file format is important, especially the indentation.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;(end of quote)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;consider too:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; there may be files /Instiki{ver. no}/public which you want to capture &amp;#8211; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CSS&lt;/span&gt; modifications, uploaded images, or uploaded files.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Running as a Windows Service</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you want to run instiki as a windows service, you can do it by using the programs &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVINSTW&lt;/span&gt;.EXE and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVANY&lt;/span&gt;.EXE that come with the windows &lt;span class="caps"&gt;NT &lt;/span&gt;/ 2000 / XP resource kit.  If your installation is missing these programs, they are &lt;a href="http://www.vbrad.com/pf.asp?p=source/tip_service_vb.htm"&gt;available here&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;h3&gt;Run &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVINSTW&lt;/span&gt;.EXE&lt;/h3&gt;


	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Put both files into the &lt;strong&gt;system32&lt;/strong&gt; system directory.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;run &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVINSTW&lt;/span&gt;.EXE&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Install as a service&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Local Machine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Give your service any name you desire&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;When prompted for the path to the service, give the path to &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVANY&lt;/span&gt;.EXE in your &lt;strong&gt;system32&lt;/strong&gt; directory&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Service is its own process&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Set the login credentials. On Windows, &lt;strong&gt;System account&lt;/strong&gt; is the super-root: it&amp;#8217;s the highest user in the chain, even higher than Administrator. This will work and allow Instiki access to your disks, however, it may be a security risk. You can also create a new user in Windows, give that user write permissions on the Instiki storage directory, and Instiki will be relatively sandboxed. Choice is yours.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;


	&lt;h3&gt;Edit your registry&lt;/h3&gt;


	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Run regedit.exe&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;pre&gt;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Services\&amp;lt;your service name&amp;gt;&lt;/pre&gt; (the name you picked in step 4 above)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Add a key = &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;Parameters&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Add a string value = &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;Application&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; (in the Parameters key you just created).  Set this to the command to run your wiki.
	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;For Instiki 0.9.x-0.10.x&lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe C:\PROGRA~1\instiki-0.9.1\instiki.rb -p 2500 -t C:\PROGRA~1\instiki-0.9.1\storage\&lt;/pre&gt; (or use rubyw.exe) (Using &lt;code&gt;C:\PROGRA~1\...&lt;/code&gt; instead of &amp;#8220;C:\Program files&amp;#8221; will avoid some problems if instiki is in that directory)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;For Instiki 0.11.x &lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe c:\[path to instiki]\[path to script(s)\server -e production&lt;/pre&gt;e.g.&lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe c:\instiki\script\server -e production&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;(Optional, only try this if it doesn&amp;#8217;t work) Add a string value = &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;AppDirectory&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;. Set this to the path to ruby.exe. e.g. &lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;


	&lt;h3&gt;Ensure sqlite dll is available&lt;/h3&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You can either add the path &amp;#8216;[instiki home directory]\lib\native\win32&amp;#8217; to your path or drop the two files found there in System32&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;h3&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t Restart your machine!&lt;/h3&gt;


	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Under Windows 2000/XP, you can right click My Computer, click Manage, then go to Services and Applications. Click Services, and you will see a list of all the services on the machine. Go to the service you just made, right click, and click Start. This should start the service and load Instiki!&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Under Windows NT, there&amp;#8217;s a Services applet in the Control Panel. It&amp;#8217;s the same deal there, too.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check!&lt;/strong&gt; Open your browser and point it to &lt;a href="http://localhost:2500"&gt;http://localhost:2500&lt;/a&gt; (or if you changed the port, you know what you need to do.) Did it work?&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;If it didn&amp;#8217;t work, go to &lt;code&gt;Control Panel&amp;gt;Administrative Tools&amp;gt;Services&lt;/code&gt;. Here you can find your service and change the settings. Maybe try a different User? Try &lt;strong&gt;System&lt;/strong&gt; for troubleshooting. Check the Security Settings on the Instiki directory.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ol&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found that didn&amp;#8217;t quite work for me, but deleting Step #5 in your Registry would cause this to work properly. &amp;#8211; Rick Smith&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;As an alternative to using srvinstw.exe, if you use &lt;a href="http://www.cygwin.com/"&gt;cygwin&lt;/a&gt; you can use: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;
cygrunsrv -I Instiki -p "&amp;lt;path to ruby bin&amp;gt;/instiki.cmd" -c "&amp;lt;working folder&amp;gt;" -a "&amp;lt;args&amp;gt;" 
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to install the service instead. &amp;#8211; James Frost&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just want to mention that I got Instiki to run in Cygwin as a service via this exact command:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;cygrunsrv -I Instiki -p "/usr/bin/ruby" -a "/path/to/instiki/instiki" -c "/path/to/instiki/" -i&lt;/code&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;A bit different than what was suggested above by James Frost.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;I used rubyw.exe at first.  Unfortunately, this frequently generated &amp;#8220;Application Error (Rails)&amp;#8221;.  Switching to just ruby.exe worked fine and didn&amp;#8217;t show up in a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DOS&lt;/span&gt; box which originally concerned me.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This worked great! I did not use step #5, but other than that had no problems.

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The service starts without problems, but Instiki doesnt. It does if I do a &amp;#8220;ruby instiki&amp;#8221; though.. Now the service starts and stops without doing a thing. &lt;strong&gt;sigh&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to set Application (registry, step 4) to:&lt;br /&gt;c:\ruby\ininstiki.cmd&amp;#8212;port 2500&amp;#8212;storage c:instikistorage&lt;br /&gt;It creates a command window, but I like seeing the messages.  I also did not create &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AppDirectory"&gt;App Directory&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; from Registry Step 5.

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also skipped step #5. I got this to work only after I switched to putting instiki in a directory that didn&amp;#8217;t include spaces 

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This worked nicely, but all text I had already put into the wiki was lost: After starting the service and connecting to it via web browser, I saw a new setup page. I chose the same wiki name as before, but the (new) wiki now was clean. 

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This would happen if you either changed a port or a storage directory (or didn&amp;#8217;t specify them explicitly in the command line, using&amp;#8212;port and&amp;#8212;storage options, respectively). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Not necessarily: For me c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe c:\instiki\instiki &#8212;port 2500 &#8212;storage c:instiki\storage_ works from the command line, showing my existing web, but from the Service, it opens the setup page.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steps worked for me too, but it takes a while to start up: you can&amp;#8217;t go to localhost:2500 immediately after you start the service. It won&amp;#8217;t work&amp;#8230; you have  to give it a little time. &amp;#8211; Amran

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got this to work using Microsoft&amp;#8217;s Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit, and using &lt;em&gt;instsrv.exe&lt;/em&gt; rather than &lt;em&gt;srvinstw.exe&lt;/em&gt; (which I couldn&amp;#8217;t find in the resource kit).  Inputs to &lt;em&gt;instsrv.exe&lt;/em&gt; are the service name and the path to &lt;em&gt;srvany.exe&lt;/em&gt;.  Then perform the registry edit as given above; I skipped step #5 (as also reported above) without problems.  One other suggestion that I have is to put the ruby command line in a batch file and reference the batch file when setting up the Application field in the registry.  This way, if you upgrade Instiki to a new version, or want to change your port or storage directory, you can make those changes in your batch file and not have to edit the registry again.

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all worked fine for me, however make sure in step #5 you set the string as &amp;#8220;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AppDirectory"&gt;App Directory&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; without the space.

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using Instiki 0.11 on Windows 2000 the presence or absence of the &amp;#8220;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AppDirectory"&gt;App Directory&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; string (Step #5) didn&amp;#8217;t seem to have an effect on whether or not it worked.  Following the steps suggested would only produce a blank page when the site was loaded.  What I eventually did was base the command in the &amp;#8220;Application&amp;#8221; string value (in the registry, from Step #4) off of the information in &lt;code&gt;instiki.cmd&lt;/code&gt;, like so: &lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe c:\instiki\scripts\server -e production&lt;/pre&gt;.  If you installed instiki or ruby some place else you&amp;#8217;ll want to replace &lt;code&gt;c:\ruby\bin\&lt;/code&gt; if the location of your ruby binary directory and &lt;code&gt;c:\instiki\&lt;/code&gt; with the directory when your installed instiki. 

	&lt;p&gt;That alone didn&amp;#8217;t work (just loaded a blank page), I also had to add &lt;pre&gt;c:\instiki\lib\native\win32&lt;/pre&gt; to the System &lt;code&gt;PATH&lt;/code&gt; Enviroment Variable. If you need to find it, go to &lt;em&gt;Start &amp;rarr; Control Panel (under Settings in Windows 2000) &amp;rarr; System (may have to &amp;#8220;Switch to Classic View&amp;#8221; in Windows XP) &amp;rarr; Advanced &amp;rarr; Enviroment Variables&lt;/em&gt;. Under &lt;em&gt;System Variables&lt;/em&gt;  find the variable named &lt;em&gt;Path&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;PATH&lt;/em&gt;, then at the end of the string in the textbox add a semicolon (if there isn&amp;#8217;t already one there) to seperate the path you&amp;#8217;re about to add from the previous one and then the full path to the &lt;code&gt;win32&lt;/code&gt; in instiki.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, while most of Windows 2000 seems to notice when an enviroment variable is updated, whatever manages the services doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to update until after a reboot (this may &amp;#8220;corrected&amp;#8221; in later/other versions of Windows).  After the reboot, however, it worked fine. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/Wholesomedick"&gt;Wholesomedick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I changed my &amp;#8220;Application&amp;#8221; string value to &lt;code&gt;c:\instiki\instiki.cmd&lt;/code&gt; and then had to edit the instiki.cmd file to include the full path to my ruby and instiki installations, e.g. instead of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;ruby.exe script\server -e production&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;use something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe c:\instiki\script\server -e production&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My System is Windows &lt;span class="caps"&gt;XP SP2&lt;/span&gt;. It seems to me that the offical &lt;span class="caps"&gt;STEP &lt;/span&gt;#4 and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;STEP &lt;/span&gt;#5 doesn&amp;#8217;t work. I managed myself to do a successful install with two steps.&lt;br /&gt;I changed my &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;Application&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; string value to &lt;pre&gt;c:\instiki\instiki.cmd&lt;/pre&gt; and then changed my &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8221;AppDirectory&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; string to &lt;pre&gt;c:\instiki&lt;/pre&gt; Now it works.&lt;br /&gt;Note: No need to edit the instiki.cmd although change it to include full path also works.

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/WinXp"&gt;Win Xp&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SP2&lt;/span&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Couldn&amp;#8217;t get official steps working.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Application = &amp;#8220;C:\httpd\instiki\instiki.cmd&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AppDirectory"&gt;App Directory&lt;/a&gt; = &amp;#8220;C:\httpd\instiki&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Edited instiki.cmd to add full paths for everything.  Works fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ditto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a lot of trouble setting up rails to run on any web server on Windows server 2003. In addition to trying to create this service I also tried mongrel, mogrel+apache and lighttpd. Nothing worked. I maganed to create the services in all cases but they all gave the same Internal error 500.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I finally got things up and running by adding the first line from the instiki.cmd file to the windows path:&lt;br /&gt;.\lib\native\win32&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Now both the service created with the steps suggested on this page and the mongrel service run prefectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like previously stated, you can also copy &lt;br /&gt;\instiki\lib\native\win32\&lt;br /&gt;sqlite3.dll&lt;br /&gt;sqlite3_&lt;a href="http://api.so"&gt;api.so&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to windows\system32 or i guess any other folder that is allready on system path.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found the service starting but displayoing a blank page on localhost:2500.  I dropped the SQLite dll and su file from \lib\native\win32\ into System32 and that did it.  Rock!

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found the service starting but displayoing a blank page on localhost:2500.  I just created a batch file that opened a cmd propmt and started instiki.cmd.  Put the path for the batch file into the &amp;#8221;&lt;strong&gt;Application&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8221; parameter.  Now it works just fine. 

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Running Windows Media Center 2005 &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SP2 &lt;/span&gt;(essentially XP professional), I had to make the &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AppDirectory"&gt;App Directory&lt;/a&gt; string &lt;strong&gt;c:\instiki&lt;/strong&gt; and the Application string &lt;strong&gt;c:\instiki\instiki.cmd&lt;/strong&gt;.  I then had to change the instiki.cmd file to the direct, full paths.  Do yourself a favor and make a copy of the file before you try editing it!!

	&lt;p&gt;Initially that file read&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;set &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PATH&lt;/span&gt;=.\lib\native\win32;&lt;span&gt;PATH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ruby.exe script\server -e production&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I changed it to read:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;set &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PATH&lt;/span&gt;=c:\instiki\lib\native\win32;c:\ruby\bin\&lt;br /&gt;ruby.exe script\server -e production&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Once I did this, it worked perfectly!!!&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything worked fine for me with the instructions provided.  I know a thing or two about computers, but was completely lost following those directions.  Had it not worked I probably would have given up on running it as a service, this is pretty advanced stuff for me.

&lt;hr&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;This worked fine for me except one problem I don&amp;#8217;t see mentioned here.  I thought this was going to get rid of the Command Prompt Window from my taskbar and no such luck.  It just starts it automatically every time I start up.  I&amp;#8217;ve still got it taking up real-estate.  Windows XP, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SP2&lt;/span&gt;, with all current patches. &amp;#8211; Toroi&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Most of the instructions worked fine for me as well, but there is one point that gave me a fit.  When configuring the service initially using the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SRVINSTW&lt;/span&gt;.EXE application, there&amp;#8217;s another checkbox under the &amp;#8220;system&amp;#8221; credentials option that asks about allowing the service to interact with the desktop.  I found I had to check that box for things to work properly &amp;#8211; if not, when I tried to start the service it would pop a message saying it started, but then stopped immediately.  Once that box was checked, things run fine, except as Toroi said, the cmd line is still taking up room on my task bar.  I&amp;#8217;m running &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/WinXP"&gt;Win XP&lt;/a&gt; Pro &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SP2&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;#8211; Jim&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is probably best to run the service as a non-privileges account and give it rights to the folder Instiki is in.  To do this, follow the instructions above, then disable the service.  Make a new user account, then give it write permissions in the security tab of the folder (if you don&amp;#8217;t see it, disable simple file sharing).  In the same properties window where you disabled the service, click the Log On tab and enter the user account information.  This is a heck of a lot safer than running it as a Local System account.

	&lt;p&gt;Make sure to restart the service after you are done.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dittos to the &amp;#8220;System &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PATH &lt;/span&gt;Enviroment Variable&amp;#8221; setting that &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/WholeSomeDick"&gt;Whole Some Dick&lt;/a&gt; said to put in

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Optimized version of &amp;#8220;instiki.cmd&amp;#8221;...

	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;The following is a modified version of &amp;#8220;instiki.cmd&amp;#8221; . These changes make launching the script context agnostic (i.e. it doesn&amp;#8217;t matter how you launch it; no need to launch from the Instiki directory in a command prompt, nor do you need to create any special shortcuts using the &amp;#8220;Start In&amp;#8221; directory value).&lt;br /&gt;Note: If you go the &amp;#8220;install as a service&amp;#8221; route for your Instiki server, this is kind of pointless.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;The &lt;i&gt;start &amp;#8221;&amp;#8221; /wait /b&lt;/i&gt; at the beginning of the launch command line will force the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DOS&lt;/span&gt; window to remain open until the instiki process is terminated (possibly useful for live monitoring?).  If you just want to run it in the background, you can remove the &lt;i&gt;start &amp;#8221;&amp;#8221; /wait /b&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;See below for Debian&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Here is a simple Redhat Linux-compatible (chkconfig) script that you can use to start and stop instiki, and also to make it startup when your system boots (&lt;code&gt;chkconfig --add instiki&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Copy this and put it into a file called: /etc/init.d/instiki&lt;/p&gt;

#
# Based on freshclam init by:
# (c) 2004/05/17 Petr@Kristof.CZ under GNU GPL 2.0+
#
# Updated 4/16/2005 to accomodate instiki 0.10.0
#

RETVAL=0

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting instiki: " 
    # Start me up!
    daemon --user nobody /usr/local/bin/instiki/instiki --port=2500 --daemon --storage=/usr/local/bin/instiki/storage 
    RETVAL=$?
    echo
    [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] &amp;#38;&amp;#38; touch /var/lock/subsys/instiki
    return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
    echo -n $"Stopping instiki: " 
    killproc instiki
    RETVAL=$?
    echo
    [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] &amp;#38;&amp;#38; rm -f /var/lock/subsys/instiki
    return $RETVAL
}    

restart() {
      stop
    start
}    

reload() {
    stop
    start
}

case "$1" in
  start)
      start
    ;;
  stop)
      stop

    status instiki

    ;;
  *)
    echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|reload}" 
    exit 1
esac

exit $?
&lt;/pre&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Next, update the script to make sure your paths to the instiki script are correct.  Finally, make the script executable (chmod +x instiki) and test it out (&amp;#8220;service instiki start&amp;#8221;, etc.).  Oh yeah, and make sure your storage directory exists or at least can be created by Instiki itself.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I guess the storage parameter is no longer needed now that Instiki uses &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/ActiveRecord"&gt;Active Record&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Instiki (&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/WhatIsInstiki"&gt;What Is Instiki&lt;/a&gt;) is a basic &lt;a href="http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki"&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones"&gt;clone&lt;/a&gt; so pretty and easy to set up, you&amp;#8217;ll wonder if it&amp;#8217;s really a wiki.  Instiki may not have all the features of the competitors, but what it does it does very well indeed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In fact it&amp;#8217;s not &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; a wiki. It supports file uploads, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PDF&lt;/span&gt; export, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; feeds, multiple users, multiple wiki sites and password protection. Some people even &lt;a href="http://instiki.org/instiki/show/HowToUseInstikiAsWebSite"&gt;use Instiki as a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CMS &lt;/span&gt;- Content Management System&lt;/a&gt; because of its ability to export static pages.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/default.mspx"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windows&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

	&lt;h2&gt;News&lt;/h2&gt;


&lt;div class="newsList"&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instiki Version 0.13.0 released!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;March 17, 2008&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mainly a Bugfix Release, which fixes two &lt;span class="caps"&gt;XSS &lt;/span&gt;Vulnerabilities.&lt;br /&gt;More information can be found on &lt;a href="http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/archives/001634.html"&gt;Jacques Distler&amp;#8217;s Blog&lt;/a&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ruby One-Click Installer for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OSX&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Juli 12, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to keep the &amp;#8220;there is no step three&amp;#8221; for Mac &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OSX&lt;/span&gt;, i developed a &lt;a href="http://rubyosx.com"&gt;One-Click Installer for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OSX&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which makes it very easy for people running Mac &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OS X&lt;/span&gt; to get Ruby up and running, even without Apple &lt;span class="caps"&gt;XCODE&lt;/span&gt;!&amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;instiki &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SVN&lt;/span&gt; move to Rubyforge&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;April 19, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i moved the instiki subversion repository to rubyforge, since the&lt;br /&gt;people at textdrive don&amp;#8217;t respond to my support requests and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://dev.instiki.org"&gt;dev.instiki.org&lt;/a&gt; gets spammed to death. find the new repository at the rubyforge site: &lt;a href="http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=186"&gt;http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=186&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;those people who need or want a developer account, please contact me&lt;br /&gt;directly via mail. please also commit patches, support requests, bugs&lt;br /&gt;and that kind of stuff only to the rubyforge page from now on.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;0.12 will be late&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;March 4, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sick, lying in bed and cannot work that much on instiki these days. I apologize for the 0.12 version being late a little. Please do submit your patches and bugfixes in the meanwhile. I will continue working on the 0.12 release when i am better. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;cross site scripting vulnerability! please update your instiki to 0.11.pl1&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Febuary 27, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People running Instiki 0.11 should update immediately to &lt;a href="http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=10014"&gt;Instiki 0.11pl1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue was &lt;a href="http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/archives/001181.html"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; already some days ago, sadly i couldn&amp;#8217;t react faster. Now, download the new release since it also includes &lt;a href="http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?group_id=186&amp;#38;release_id=10014"&gt;some fixes and features&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hivelogic stress test&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Febuary 13, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current trunk version of instiki has the plugin &lt;a href="http://form-spam-protection.googlecode.com/svn/form_spam_protection/"&gt;form-spam-protection&lt;/a&gt; included. To stress test this plugin for an upcoming anti-spam edition of instiki i disabled the dnsbl_check on this main wiki and just let the form-spam-protection plugin show its strength. Hope it works out! Feedback welcome!&amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;importers and exporters wanted&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Febuary 8, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which importers from other wiki systems and formats would you use? Are there any exporters missing? Please let us know in the &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/FeatureRequest"&gt;Feature Request&lt;/a&gt; Page. Did you already write an importer or exporter script? Submit it to the &lt;a href="http://dev.instiki.org"&gt;instiki patch tracker&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;trac problem solved&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;January 15, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I solved the trac issues by myself, if anyone experiences similar problems, just &lt;a href="http://dev.plone.org/plone.org/wiki/TracReports"&gt;disable trac reports&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We should prepare a move to the great looking ruby-based &lt;a href="http://retrospectiva.org"&gt;retrospectiva&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please use only the trac now for bug reporting and sending patches! anonymous reporting enabled!&amp;#8212;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sorry for downtime&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;January 10, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I apologize for the long downtime of the instiki main site end of december. The main instiki site runs patched on mongrel, which crashed. now this won&amp;#8217;t happen again, since there is a cronjob checking if things are going well!&amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spam Activity drastically reduced&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;November 19, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spam on the current instiki site reduced drastically, after applying the &lt;a href="http://www.spacebabies.nl/dnsbl_check/"&gt;dnsbl_check&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; a realtime lookup to blacklisted IPs. Still there is some spamming going on. Please post your anti-spamming and spamfixig-ideas to &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AntiSpam"&gt;AntiSpam&lt;/a&gt;, we will provide patches soon. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instiki Site Uses &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DNS&lt;/span&gt;-Blacklist now&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;November 18, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current Instiki Website uses &lt;a href="http://www.spacebabies.nl/dnsbl_check/"&gt;dnsbl_check&lt;/a&gt; a realtime &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DNS&lt;/span&gt;-Blacklist checker Plugin for Rails. Hopefully this reduces the Wikispam. This is just one of the Anti-Spam-Features to be available in instiki 0.12 soon. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/parasew"&gt;parasew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bazaar branches available&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;June 11, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/Bazaar"&gt;Bazaar&lt;/a&gt; mirror of Instiki&amp;#8217;s subversion trunk and branches with various bugfixes and (soon) new feature work are now available.  See &lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/BzrBranches"&gt;Bzr Branches&lt;/a&gt; for details. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/JohnWhitley"&gt;John Whitley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://Instiki.org"&gt;Instiki.org&lt;/a&gt; upgraded&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;March 19, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://Instiki.org"&gt;Instiki.org&lt;/a&gt; is now running on version 0.11.0 (with a couple of tweaks). &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AlexeyVerkhovsky"&gt;Alexey Verkhovsky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instiki 0.11.0 released&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;March 19, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The switch from Madeleine to ActiveRecord has finally happened. File Uploads are finally there.&lt;br /&gt;I will put some documentation on this wiki in the next few days, meantime instructions for migrating from earlier versions are in the &lt;a href="http://svn.instiki.org/instiki/tags/release-0.11.0/README"&gt;README&lt;/a&gt;  . &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AlexeyVerkhovsky"&gt;Alexey Verkhovsky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.org/attachment/ticket/2245/as_clean_logger_rb-fixed.patch.  Thank you and goodnight.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OS X available for 0.10.2&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;August 1, 2005&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/OlegKourapov"&gt;Oleg Kourapov&lt;/a&gt; has provided a .dmg file for Instiki 0.10.2 for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OS X 10&lt;/span&gt;.4.  Mac Tiger users, rejoice.  Does not work on 10.3 or before. &amp;#8212;&lt;a class="existingWikiWord" href="http://bzr.instiki.org/show/AlexeyVerkhovsky"&gt;Alexey Verkhovsky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Exporting Websites In Instiki</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Exporting Websites in instiki is a little tricky, but not all that hard.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.)&lt;/strong&gt; The zip files you are looking for are on the computer that is hosting the server, in the (usually) C:instikistorage2500 directory.  There should be some zip files.  They are in the format &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WIKINAME&lt;/span&gt;-TYPE-DATE, so, if your wiki name is &amp;#8220;wiki&amp;#8221; you are exporting &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HTML&lt;/span&gt;, and it is the 28 of december 05, the name will be &lt;strong&gt;wiki-html-2005-12-28-21-37-14.zip&lt;/strong&gt;.  If you extract the files from there, then go to step &lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt;.  If the zip file isn&amp;#8217;t there, go to the normal export button in instiki.  You can&amp;#8217;t actually download the file, but it &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DOES&lt;/span&gt; generate the files into the zip file I was talking about.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.)&lt;/strong&gt; Once the files are extracted, move them to a new file.  The problem now is that the hyperlinking doesn&amp;#8217;t work.  If you are going to put these into an Apache server, it will pickup and open the files correctly, but since the hyperlinks to other files in the instiki dont have an extention (.html) and the files exported do, they can not reference one-another.  Now, you can do &lt;strong&gt;A.)&lt;/strong&gt; rename all files so there is no .html at the end, or &lt;strong&gt;B.)&lt;/strong&gt; re-write all files data (exported data) to reference files with a .html extention.  In windows, you can make a batch file to do this.  Since textile isn&amp;#8217;t nice to the star in batch, I will just &lt;a href="http://picatta.homeip.net/Browsing/INSTIKIEXP.BAT"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; you to it.  Put that file in the directory of the files (only if the exported instiki files are the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ONLY&lt;/span&gt; files in the directory), and run it.  It backs up all files wth their name changed.  Now, if they are in an apache server, you can access the wiki just fine in IE, but in firefox it shows you the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HTML&lt;/span&gt; of the page instead.  The same goes when viewing offline, without an apache server.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.)&lt;/strong&gt; If all that won&amp;#8217;t work, you&amp;#8217;ll have to try fixing all hyperlinks to reletive wiki files to include the .html extention.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;NOTE&lt;/span&gt;:  I&amp;#8217;m currently working on a fix for this.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;hr&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; The batch file &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WAS&lt;/span&gt; down, but is back now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
