whs – Stephen's Space on the Web

I setup Knowledgetree on my WHS because I didn’t like other options and it was free. I didnt want to use the canned installation because I didn’t want Apache and openoffice running in the background taking up my ram.

KT = Knowledgetree
WHS = Windows Home Server

Setup a shared directory for kt with duplication, in my example I am going to use DMS you can use DMS$ if you want it hidden from browsing

Add the users that are going to use KT

Install the WHS PHP Extension

http://www.mediasmartserver.net/downloads/add-ins/WHSPHP_1.0.4.zip

Install WHS MySql Extension

http://www.mediasmartserver.net/downloads/add-ins/MySqlInstallerForWHS_0.0.8.zip
Change your mysql root password at http://localhost/pma

Enable curl in php.ini

Edit c:\php5\php.ini and add extension=php_curl.dll under the other extensions

Install SUN Java 1.6

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Download the KT Source Code its about 60mb, the Windows version.

http://www.knowledgetree.com/products/opensource/downloadopensource

Extract KT to d:\dms

Add full rights for the “Windows Home Server Users” group to d:\dms

Create a virtual directory under the default website in IIS called DMS and using d:\dms as the document root

Disable anonymous authentication and enabled basic authentication

Run the KT setup at http://localhost/dms
Setup the httpsso for single sign-on to your whs users.

http://forge.knowledgetree.com/gf/project/httpsso/
you must first manually make the matching user in KT first.
