[ANN] Instiki 0.2.5: Works properly on Windows

David Heinemeier Hansson [mailto:david@loudthinking.com] announced:

What is Instiki?

Admitted, it’s Yet Another Wiki Clone[1], but with a strong
focus on simplicity of installation and running:

Step 1. Download
Step 2. Run “insticki.rb 2505”
Step 3. Chuckle… “There’s no step three!” ™

You’re now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2505
that’ll present you with a textarea for the home page on entering.

just downloaded it and tried, and yes, it works immediately.

no hussle. kewl :slight_smile:

btw, it shows/logs error messages if I abort a session (I’m running it on
winxp).

Sample log: (sorry for the length)

But note, instiki still continues to run :slight_smile:

It would be nice however if you could just catch the errors and log: Session
exited on ip x.x.x.x…

Thanks for the program, btw.

kind regards,
