 0) install a Webserver (e.g Apache) and perl5 


 1) Choose the Backend. available now are:


   -> PageArchive.pm     uses normal Files, no Backup

   -> PageArchiveCVS.pm  like PageArchive, but does keep

                         Backup-copies via CVS.

                         Can use a CVWiki-repository. 


   -> PageArchiveRCS.pm  like CVS, but uses RCS.

 3) if you want to use CVS: setup a CVS-repository: 


 -> create directory for cvs-data, (rw  www-data) (e.g /usr/local/cvsroot)


    Initialize: (as user www-data)

 -> cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init 


 -> cd /usr/local/wiki/GNUWiki :

    cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot import GNUWiki tt start


 -> cd ..

    cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot checkout GNUWiki


 ->edit PageArchiveCVS.pm  

   set CVSROOT (in sub "_initialize")

      $ENV{CVSROOT} = "/usr/local/cvsroot";



 4) copy wiki to /usr/lib/cgi-bin. Then you need to edit

    this file for your installation:

       use lib '/home/marcus';

   -> choose Backend:

        e.g.  use PageArchiveRCS;

   -> change path to the Wiki-files/choose Backend:

      $pa = new PageArchive("/usr/local/wiki/myWiki");

     or:      ...      PageArchiveRCS(....).

   -> change the title of the Mainpage:

          $MainPage = "FontPage";
