Dekiwiki running along with other apps

I finally managed to install and run Dekiwiki in my Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) server machine. The problem with DekiWiki is that it has to be installed in the root directory. If I have other apps serving by the server, then DekiWiki will just claim the entire apache server, depriving me from accessing other apps - even phpMyAdmin.

After having Dekiwiki working, I made a tweak so that dekiwiki is run in port 8080 and port 80 is used to serve my default DocumentRoot (/var/www).

Here's my directory structure
/var/www/
------------phpMyAdmin/...
------------dekiwiki/web/...
------------testapps/

I added the following lines in /var/www/ports.conf below with Listen 80

Listen 8080

Now the apache will also listen in a different port 8080

I changed the deki-apache.conf file, included with the dekiwiki application. I just made sure that DocumentRoot is different when served in port 8080.

Now dekiwiki is accessed from http://192.168.0.45:8080/
While other apps can be accessed from http://192.168.0.45/

My hours of labor in Dekiwiki seem to get paid off.
