Kingfisher is our wiki server. Check out the wiki index to see existing wikis.
Add a MediaWiki Installation
# ssh root@kingfisher # cd /srv/www/htwiki # tar -xzvf mediawiki-unconfiguredInstallation.tar.gz # mv mediawiki <project_name>
The go to the mediawiki setup website for your project: http://wiki.iat.sfu.ca/<project_name>
Fill in the options appropriately with some special Configuration options to note: Make a seperate database for each project:
- Database name: wikidb_<project_name>
Seperate username for each project:
- DB username: wikiuser_<project_name>
And no table prefix.
This will create the LocalSettings.php file. The move it to the correct place:
# cd <project_name> # mv config/LocalSettings.php .
Config should no longer be world writable:
# chmod a-w config
Your wiki should be completely setup at: http://wiki.iat.sfu.ca/<project_name>
