Redhat Init Script

See below for Debian

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 (chkconfig --add instiki).

Copy this and put it into a file called: /etc/init.d/instiki

#!/bin/sh#!/bin/bash
#
# instiki      Start/Stop Instiki.
#
# chkconfig: - 62 38
# description: Instiki is a ruby wiki.

    echo
    [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/instiki
    return $RETVAL

      stop
    start
}

    start

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 (“service instiki start”, etc.). Oh yeah, and make sure your storage directory exists or at least can be created by Instiki itself.

I guess the storage parameter is no longer needed now that Instiki uses Active Record?
