Instalar mediawiki 1.20 en CENTOS

Installing MediaWiki on Linux – CentOS

 

In this post we will learn how to setup a MediaWiki on CentOS. MediaWiki requires Apache web server, a database server (we’ll use MySQL), and PHP version 5.  I will explain step by step process of installing these required components.

1. Install MySql server and mysql-php module

   1	yum install mysql-server mysql php-mysql

   2	/sbin/chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

   3	/sbin/service mysqld start

2. Change 'root' user password for mysql; Create mysql wiki database and user

   1

   mysql

   1	mysql> USE mysql;

   2	mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE user='root';

   3	mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

   4	mysql> CREATE DATABASE wiki;

   5	mysql> CREATE USER 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wikipassword';

   6	mysql> GRANT ALL ON wiki.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost';

   7	mysql> exit

3. Download the mediawiki, http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.2.tar.gz

   1	wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.2.tar.gz

4. Untar the mediawiki to /var/www/html and give write permissions for config folder (Assuming that /var/www/html is the DocumentRoot)

   1	tar -xzvf mediawiki-1.20.2.tar.gz

   2	mv mediawiki-1.20.2 /var/www/html/wiki

5. Change the ownership of the wiki directory and grant write permissions to the config directory.

   1	chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wiki

   2	chmod a+w /var/www/html/wiki/config

6. Restart the apache server.

   1	/sbin/service httpd restart

   2	Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

   3	Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

7. Go to http://localhost/wiki/config/index.php
   • Configure Wiki Admin username/password
   • Configure MySQL  database/username/password
   • Click Done
8. Move the config/LocalSettings.php file to the parent directory

   1	mv /var/www/html/wiki/config/LocalSettings.php /var/www/html/wiki

9. Access wiki http://localhost/wiki
