These pages are hosted at one.com.
These are the steps I have used to install this wiki on a one.com Linux server
1. Download MediaWiki
2. Extract the downloaded file to a folder on my pc (I use WinRAR)
3. Copy the extracted files to <my domain>/wiki using FTP (I use TotalCommander)
4. Follow the guide at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide, which basically says:
- Open <my domain>/wiki/config/index.php and fill out the form
- Fill in the fields of the config form as follows:
- Wiki name: <whatever name you can come up with>
- Contact e-mail: <whatever email address you want to use>
- Copyright/license: <Choose what you want>
- Admin username: <you choose a username>
- Password: <you choose a password for the main SysOp user>
- Database type: MySQL
- Database host: localhost
- Database name: <the database name from the code letter you originally got from one.com>
- DB username: <the database name from the code letter you originally got from one.com>
- DB password: <the database password from the code letter you originally got from one.com, or what you have changed it to in the dbadmin.one.com control panel>
- Database table prefix: < as you only have the one database for the your hosted website, is wise to use a prefix, like nm_ or wiki_ or what you want, just end it with a _
- Database character set: <one.com default is "MySQL 4.1/5.0 UTF-8">
5. Press install MediaWiki
6. Do some house cleaning
- Move LocalSettings.php from location /wiki/config/ to /wiki/
- Delete folder /wiki/config/
7. You can now use your wiki on a one.com hosting server by going to the address: http://<your domain>/wiki/
Possible ToDo:
- You may want to limit who can edit what pages
- You may want to select/change skins (looks) of your wiki page.
