I would add, that creating the link /etc/apache2/conf-available/dokuwiki.conf is not enough if dokuwiki is installed in the root path, e.g. wiki.example.com. In that case javascript-common.conf, which is dependency, will be read only after dokuwiki.conf. The order is important, the javascript-common "Alias /javascript /usr/share/javascript/" directive must come first, before the dokuwiki "Alias / /usr/share/dokuwiki/" directive. Using the link name zzzdokuwiki.conf, for example, solves the ordering issue.
Are you sure about that? For what I understand, order is not relevant at all, since all these only defines what the web server will answer to client's requests: requests to think in /dokuwiki will use one alias, and thos in /javascript will use the other, no matter what request is made first by the browser…
I do not know Apache2 enough, but I guess a more elegant solution would be to adding dokuwiki to apache as a virtual host, instead of a server level configuration. In that case the name of the link would not affect the behavior.
No, a virtual host would not be acceptable and is better left to the user when he polishes his installation, since we cannot guess if he will want an IP address-based virtual host or a name-based virtual host, and, most importantly, all these require network configuration, while the current default path-based solution just works once the package is installed. Or rather, will work when I fix it, that is. :-)
