===WikiFilter===

[http://wikifilter.sourceforge.net/ WikiFilter] is a program which allows you to browse over 100 dump files without visiting a Wiki site.

====WikiFilter system requirements====
* A recent Windows version (Windows XP is fine; Windows 98 and ME won't work because they don't have NTFS support)
* A fair bit of hard drive space (to install you will need about 12–15 Gigabytes; afterwards you will only need about 10 Gigabytes)

====How to set up WikiFilter====

# Start downloading a Wikipedia database dump file such as an [//dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 English Wikipedia dump]. It is best to use a download manager such as [[GetRight]] so you can resume downloading the file even if your computer crashes or is shut down during the download.
# Download XAMPPLITE from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61776&package_id=89552] (you must get the 1.5.0 version for it to work). Make sure to pick the file whose filename ends with .exe
# Install/extract it to C:\XAMPPLITE.
# Download WikiFilter 2.3 from this site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikifilter. You will have a choice of files to download, so make sure that you pick the 2.3 version. Extract it to C:\WIKIFILTER.
# Copy the WikiFilter.so into your C:\XAMPPLITE\apache\modules folder.
# Edit your C:\xampplite\apache\conf\httpd.conf file, and add the following line:
#* LoadModule WikiFilter_module "C:/XAMPPLITE/apache/modules/WikiFilter.so"
# When your Wikipedia file has finished downloading, uncompress it into your C:\WIKIFILTER folder. (I used WinRAR http://www.rarlab.com/ demo version&nbsp;– BitZipper http://www.bitzipper.com/winrar.html works well too.)
# Run WikiFilter (WikiIndex.exe), and go to your C:\WIKIFILTER folder, and drag and drop the XML file into the window, click Load, then Start.
# After it finishes, exit the window, and go to your C:\XAMPPLITE folder. Run the setup_xampp.bat file to configure xampp.
# When you finish with that, run the Xampp-Control.exe file, and start Apache.
# Browse to http://localhost/wiki and see if it works
#* If it doesn't work, see the [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=495411 forums].
