If you're looking to run it on a PC on a client site , something like EasiePHP will give you the Apache / MySql / PHP that you need , out of the box.

There are issues of confidentiality involved so I don't see them agreeing to it being on a 3rd parties server. Nice idea though. Unfortunately James, I think it does.

If not I'd recommend Writely for the job - it's as user friendly a Wiki as I've seen for computer novices. Does it really need to be on the client’s server Tom?

It is just that as this is a pro-bono job I want to have it as simple as possible for me (i.e. something I can set up in a couple of hours with the minimum of dependence on others)!

Before you can proceed, you need to know what user and group your Apache server runs as. The easiest way to know this is to issue this command: > egrep "^User|^Group" /etc/httpd/httpd.conf User wwwrun Group nogroup</blockquote> and more like it in the Moin Moin help docs and that for me means I would need the hoster's help.

Robin, thanks for that. Images shouldn't be an issue in this case but did I mention they were non-techs ;-) ?

It's not that hard to follow the media wiki scripting, I have used it with a few non-techs without issue. Images are the only thing to need any real explaining, otherwise it's very simple.
