# dokuwiki-addsite(1)

Create a new site driven by DokuWiki

## NAME

dokuwiki-addsite - Create a new site driven by DokuWiki

## SYNOPSIS

```
dokuwiki-addsite ['OPTIONS'] {'SITE_NAME'}
```

## DESCRIPTION

DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use wiki mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind.

**dokuwiki-addsite** creates the file hierarchy and configuration required to define a new site driven by the installed DokuWiki engine.

## OPTIONS

- **--no-admin:**

  Do create any administrator user and do not ask for a password.

- **-h, --help:**

  Show a help message and exit.

- **SITE\_NAME:**

  Name of the site to create. For a virtual host-based setup, it reflects the corresponding hostname. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as  \<http://wiki.project.example.com:8080/foo/bar/\> , it can be either project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar or even 8080.wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar. For a directory or htaccess-based setup, this is the corresponding site identifier. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as  \<http://wiki.example.com/project/\> , rewritten by the web server as doku.php?animal=project, it is simply project.

## NOTES

The site configuration is stored in /etc/dokuwiki/farm/SITE\_NAME/, and the data is stored in /var/lib/dokuwiki/farm/SITE\_NAME/, as indicated in the site configuration.

In a virtual host-based setup, if you need to make a given site accessible at several URLs, you can symlink its configuration directory to another name (it is not necessary to symlink the data directory).

If you need to rename a site, you can rename the configuration and data directories, and edit the configuration to point to the new data directory.

## BUGS

No check is done against the SITE\_NAME, just avoid names like ../../../etc. Please report any bug to the Debian BTS.
