I’ve been asked to put together a simple intranet Wiki, but the only
“server” I have available is a Windows 7 machine with Rails ( on Ruby
2.0 ) installed.
I’ve been looking around for options which will work on this platform -
I tried “Instiki” and “Refinery CMS” but neither of them appear to be
compatible.
I’m running a couple of simple Rails applications on this machine
already, so I know it’s not a problem with Rails.
I’ve looked at “Git-wiki” but I think it doesn’t have the features I
need (media uploads, etc).
Does anyone know of a Rails project which can produce a wiki without my
having to build an entire site manually?

Compatible with what?

Why does it need to be Rails based? For alternatives see
I was hoping for a Rails option because I haven’t yet found another web
host which will work on a Windows 7 PC without a fuss.
I’ve tried Wordpress and Joomla, but Microsoft’s WebMatrix refuses to
work without an actual Internet server, and I only want a local Intranet
site.
Plus I don’t know any PHP at all, and I don’t think I can fit that into
my head as well as trying to figure out JQuery, CoffeeScript, SASS, CSS,
and HAML all at once on my existing Rails projects.
I’d like a Ubuntu server, or maybe something powerful enough to have a
virtual machine with Ubuntu installed, but I don’t have those options at
the moment; just an old PC running Windows 7 and Rails.

While I hate to jump on the php bandwagon in the rails list I think
your best bet for a solution at this point is one of the php wikis out
there. Let me make my recommendation for pmwiki (http://www.pmwiki.org)
– I’ve actually been using it for several years. I’d dead easy to set
up under Apache; I have it running under lighted and nginx as well; I
can share configs for that if you wish. I know it runs on Windows boxes
under WAMP (which I understand is pretty painless to set up and get
going). I don’t know if it works with the newest version of php that
includes a built-in server or not, but if this is a light-weight enough
user base, that’s a possibility as well.
Of course, the other direction to go at this point might just be MS’s
Sharepoint.
