=================================================================== |
| 17 |
To complete installation you need to proceed the following steps: |
| 18 |
================================================================= |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. Temporarily make the "mw-config" directory writable to the user the web |
| 21 |
server is running as. The quickest way is to make the directory world |
| 22 |
writable. For example: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
$ cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR} |
| 25 |
$ chmod a+w mw-config |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
2. Configure database. |
| 29 |
a.) If you know the root password on your database, the MediaWiki installation |
| 30 |
script can create a new database for you. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
b.) If you don't know the root password, MediaWiki still needs database to |
| 33 |
work with. So, please, read the following link and find solution which suits |
| 34 |
your needs best: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki#Create_a_database |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3. Now continue the installation through web browser by accessing the |
| 40 |
following page: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}${VHOST_APPDIR}/mw-config/ |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
4. After the setup script has finished running successfully, a file called |
| 46 |
LocalSettings.php is created in the "mw-config" directory. Move this file to the |
| 47 |
root wiki directory (${MY_INSTALLDIR}): |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
$ mv mw-config/LocalSettings.php . |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Set stringent permissions on the LocalSettings.php file: |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
$ chown <webserver-user>:root LocalSettings.php |
| 54 |
$ chmod 600 LocalSettings.php |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
And delete the "mw-config" directory: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
$ rm -rf mw-config |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
5. Once you have done the above, your wiki should be ready to use! |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}${VHOST_APPDIR}/ |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Enabling Optional Features and other configuration |
| 67 |
================================================== |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Allow images and other files to be uploaded through the wiki |
| 70 |
------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
If you wish to enable images and other files to be uploaded through wiki then |
| 73 |
edit the LocalSettings.php file and set \$wgEnableUploads to 'true': |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
\$wgEnableUploads = true; |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Now if MediaWiki was built with the imagemagick USE-flag the directory |
| 78 |
permissions are correct, otherwise install ImageMagick and adjust permissions |
| 79 |
on the images directory to allow the web server to write. For example: |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
$ chown <webserver-user>:<webserver-group> ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/images |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
IMPORTANT: Uploads need to be set up properly in order to be secure! For more |
| 84 |
details take a look at the following page: |

Math Support |
| 90 |
------------ |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
Math support has been removed from the core mediawiki package from 1.18.0 |
| 93 |
onwards. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math to enable math |
| 94 |
support. |
