MediaWiki is a free, web-based wiki platform written in PHP, with powerful capabilities. It is one of the most popular applications of this type in the world.<\/p>\n<div><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\">You can easily install MediaWiki in under 10 minutes.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0You should have a web server (Apache), PHP, and a database server (MySQL) installed on your <a title=\"Linux VPS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/managed-vps-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linux VPS<\/a> to run MediaWiki.<\/div>\n<h2>Step-by-step Guide<\/h2>\n<p>1. Go to MediaWiki&#8217;s official website and download the latest version of the platform:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># wget http:\/\/download.wikimedia.org\/mediawiki\/1.19\/mediawiki-1.19.2.tar.gz<\/pre>\n<p>2. Now you should extract the downloaded tar.gz file in your Apache Document Root directory:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># tar -xzvf mediawiki-1.19.2.tar.gz -C \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n<p>3. To find out Apache&#8217;s document root directory, execute:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># grep '^DocumentRoot' \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/pre>\n<p>4. Rename the extracted directory. In our case, we will rename the directory from &#8216;mediawiki-1.19.2&#8217; to &#8216;mediawiki&#8217;:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># mv \/var\/www\/html\/mediawiki-1.19.2 \/var\/www\/html\/mediawiki<\/pre>\n<p>5.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\">Ensure that the Apache user, in our case &#8216;apache&#8217;, owns all WikiMedia files and directories:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># chown -R apache:apache<\/pre>\n<p>6. Finally, MediaWIki requires MySQL user and database, so let&#8217;s create them by executing the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># echo \"CREATE DATABASE wikidb;\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"CREATE USER 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD_HERE';\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost';\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\" | mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<h2>Congratulations!<\/h2>\n<div><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\">This step completes the command-line installation. <\/span><\/span>You can complete the rest using a web browser.All you need to do is open http:\/\/yourdomain.tld\/wiki and follow the on-screen instructions.\u00a0 With this, MediaWiki will check if your server meets the requirements for installing and running the software. Additionally, the system will prompt you to set your MySQL user and database information, as well as other general settings. At the end of the installation, the MediaWiki installer generates a &#8216;LocalSettings.php&#8217; file, which contains all the necessary configuration settings. You will need to copy the code from the screen and paste it into a file called &#8216;LocalSettings.php&#8217; in the &#8216;\/var\/www\/html\/wiki&#8217; directory. Execute:<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<pre class=\"brush: shell; gutter: true\"># nano \/var\/www\/html\/wiki\/LocalSettings.php<\/pre>\n<p>Paste the code and save the file. That&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in case you liked this post, please share it with your friends or leave a reply below.
