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.
