Question

I have recently purchased an HP Mini-Note computer preinstalled with SuSE Enterprise Desktop 10 Linux. This does not include Apache by default. Also, no CD.

I want to install TWiki. What are my best options?

• Install Apache from source?

• Install Apache from an rpm archive somewhere on the web? (where?)

• Install another web server? If so, which one?

My experience is all in BSD Unix and Apache.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You find repositories at http://software.opensuse.org/search. OpenSuse 10.1 is the basis for SLE10 series I have read

TWikiOnSuSE could be a source for you. And perhaps other info from TWikiOn. I only have tested Suse earlier and installed apache2 from Yast and then downloaded and unpacked TWiki zip/tar-file from twiki.org.

If there's no yast repositories for you to install from I found this link that has other repositories that you can add. I haven't tried them myself but you can google yourself to see they seem trustworthy by others. Also this is a forum with some info.

Otherwise I think it is usual to add some OpenSuse repositories.

This being SuSE from Novell, it turned out that the proper repository is the Novell SuSE Desktop Service Pack 2.
