Hi,
I discovered TW about 2 weeks ago and it looks perfect to use for my “outside brain” I’ve been trying to get it setup on my shared hosting so I can access it from anywhere. So far it hasn’t gone well! My experience level isn’t high enough to manage to get it working Unfortunately the guides on TiddlyWiki.com haven’t helped me much (I had a quick look at the posts here as well) Could anyone point me in the direction of a simple step by step guide? Thanks!

Craig, welcome to the community! OK, quick reply:

Search for Jed Cartys "Bob" solutions. They are for multi-user. Normal TW is not for shared use.

You could say more about your shared hosting. My guess is you may want tw-reciever for single file wikis on php. See also tiddlyspot.

Hi Tony,
I use Dreamhost I got Docuwiki installed perfectly, I tried installing Docuwiki just for practice. I really want to use TW😀
Thanks for the suggestion

Yes dream host should be fine for single file wikis and php. Using it for node is another question.

Hi,
I have another related question I couldn’t get the PHP type server working (just got errors that I don’t understand 😀) but I got node.js working on dream host and a Raspberry Pi. The problem is I need to serve it off its host, (hopefully this is the right terminology) I’ve been reading as much info as I can find and I noticed that the listen command can specify an IP address.
--listen [<name>=<value>]...
Is the <name> host and the value the IP address I want? Thanks!
