Talk:Mediawiki installation on SourceForge

From JGlade

Has there been an update to this procedure? I noticed that the error has not yet been addressed.

Mediawiki 1.6.7 supportedin mediawiki-sf $Revision:4$


I successfully installed mediawiki 1.6.8 with this script. But I had to :

  • Use the SVN version
  • Replace (in the patch function) 1.6.7 by 1.6.8
  • Replace (in the function set_project_htdocs()) the line : 
 PHTDOCS=${PHTDOCS:-PHOME/htdocs}

by 

 PHTDOCS=$PHOME/htdocs
  • Setup your database for mediawiki
  • Run the mediawiki-sf script
  • Point your browser to the config page and fill out all the information.
  • Move the LocalSettings.php file from 
 /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/config/LocalSettings.php

to /home/groups/.../htdocs/mediawiki-1.6.8/LocalSettings.php

  • Add write permission to the folder /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/

And in order to get the upload working I had to :

  • Make a symlink to the /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/images directory like so : 
mkdir /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/images
chmod 777 /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/images
cd /home/groups/.../htdocs/mediawiki-1.6.8/
rm -rf images
ln -s /tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/images images
  • Modify the LocalSettings.php file in order to have something like :

$wgUploadPath = "/wiki/images";
$wgUploadDirectory = "/tmp/persistent/MY-PROJECT/images";


PS : I know I should update the script mediawiki-sf and send my diff to the author, but I am so lazy...
