We need to enable mod_reqwrite in apache2 but also to add the appropriate configuration in the default conf in VirtualHost

# vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
...
    # enable.htaccess
    <Directory /var/www/html/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
...
</VirtualHost>

wacko.sql

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS wacko;
CREATE USER 'wacko'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOURNEWPASSWORD';
GRANT  ALL PRIVILEGES ON wacko.* TO 'wacko'@'localhost';
FLUSH  PRIVILEGES;	

# mysql < wacko.sql

Last, we need to remove write permission for the WackoWiki configuration file and remove setup folder

# chmod -w /var/www/html/wacko/config/config.php
# mv /var/www/html/wacko/setup/ /var/www/html/._setup
