Instalacion de MediaWiki

This is how you install mediawiki on your account,

1) Create or pick an "Static/PHP/CGI" type application. For this I am going to use the default installed 'htdocs' app.

2) Create a MySQL database, write down the database name and password.

Change working directory to the media wiki directory,

$ cd ~/webapps/blabla/ Download media wiki with 'wget'

$ wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.1.tar.gz Extract the tarball (mediawiki-1.25.1.tar.gz) to the current working directory (.)

$ tar -xvvf mediawiki-1.25.1.tar.gz

Subir el directorio un nivel para que los archivos no queden adentro de la carpeta mediawiki-1.25.1 $ mv ~/webapps/blabla/mediawiki-1.25.1/* ~/webapps/blabla/

5) Navigate to the URL defined in step 3, You should see the mediawiki installation.

6) Fill out the installation information, database name and database user are the same. Database character set, I suggest 'MySQL 4.1/5.0 UTF-8' and not the default as binary data can cause issues on shared mysql server when in large size.

7) Once the installation is done it will say you need to move the config file, you can do this by running this in SSH,

$ mv config/LocalSettings.php .

That should get media wiki installed for you.
