- Installing MediaWiki
- ---
- Starting with MediaWiki 1.2.0, it's possible to install and configure the wiki
- "in-place", as long as you have the necessary prerequisites available.
- Required software:
- * Web server with PHP 5.5.9 or higher.
- * A SQL server, the following types are supported
- ** MySQL 5.0.3 or higher
- ** PostgreSQL 8.3 or higher
- ** SQLite 3.3.7 or higher
- ** Oracle 9.0.1 or higher
- ** Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
- MediaWiki is developed and tested mainly on Unix/Linux platforms, but should
- work on Windows as well.
- If your PHP is configured as a CGI plug-in rather than an Apache module you may
- experience problems, as this configuration is not well tested.
- Support for rendering mathematical formulas requires installing the Math extension,
- see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math
- Don't forget to check the RELEASE-NOTES file...
- Additional documentation is available online, which may include more detailed
- notes on particular operating systems and workarounds for difficult hosting
- environments:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide
- ******************* WARNING *******************
- REMEMBER: ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE
- ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR UPGRADE!!!

- In-place web install
- ----
- Decompress the MediaWiki installation archive either on your server, or on your
- local machine and upload the directory tree. Rename it from "mediawiki-1.x.x" to
- something nice, like "wiki", since it will be appearing in your URL,
- ie. /wiki/index.php/Article.
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Note: If you plan to use a fancy URL-rewriting scheme to prettify your |
- | URLs, such as http://www.example.com/wiki/Article, you should put the |
- | files in a *different* directory from the virtual path where page names |
- | will appear. It is common in this case to use w as the folder name and |
- | /wiki/ as the virtual article path where your articles pretend to be. |

- | See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Hop into your browser and surf into the wiki directory. It'll direct you into
- the config script. Fill out the form... remember you're probably not on an
- encrypted connection.
- Gaaah! :)
- If all goes well, you should soon be told that it's set up your wiki database
- and generated a configuration file. There is now a copy of "LocalSettings.php"
- available to download from the installer. Download this now, there is not a
- way (yet) to get it after you exit the installer. Place it in the main wiki
- directory, and the wiki should now be working.
- Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the mw-config directory (though it will
- refuse to config again if the wiki is set up).
- ----
- Don't forget that this is free software under development! Chances are good
- there's a crucial step that hasn't made it into the documentation. You should
- probably sign up for the MediaWiki developers' mailing list; you can ask for
- help (please provide enough information to work with, and preferably be aware of
- what you're doing!) and keep track of major changes to the software, including
- performance improvements and security patches.
