I have EXACTLY your symptoms. In fact, I could have written this. You''re not insane Huw... the OSX version of instiki is definitely NOT functioning as a standalone application. My solution: Wait until someone smarter than me fixes the but (there is one.) Until then I''m a-gonna host instiki remotely (a paid TxD account). jdarius>Sorry but I am really new to this.>I''m using OSX which seems to have Apache installed as a server.However I don''t know how to start it or if it starts automatically or how to get an output from it.>Instiki seems to be running as it puts the Wiki button on the menubar.

If you see "Test Page for Apache Installation" then Apache''s running; if not, you''ll get an error page. If you have an adminstrator password, you can start and stop Apache from Terminal by typing "sudo apachectl start" or stop respectively. You can also use "Personal Web Sharing" on the Sharing pane to turn it on and off, but that opens up your firewall. I''m running Tiger, and occasionally have the same problem as well. If Apache is running, I get a 404 not found trying to go to localhost:2500/wiki/show/HomePage, and the default Apache page if I just go to localhost:2500. What I do to get around it is to go to the Instiki homepage first and click on the "localhost:2500" link from there, and it automagically gets me to my wiki. After that, I can get to it from my bookmark until the next time I restart the machine. --mia ----- zigmia at seraphzigmoon.com You know what you doing? Take off every zig!

Thanks. I''ll get Tiger soon - then hopefully it''ll work.

how to get an output from it.
