Installation - Etch

IN CONSTRUCTION - HELP IS VERY WELCOME

The mediawiki package is a dummy package made up of mediawiki1.7 and mediawiki1.7-math. To install, enter:

  • # apt-get install mediawiki

MediaWiki also suggests the following packages, which you may want to install:

  • php5-gd | imagemagick, a module for handling graphics directly from PHP

scripts. It supports the PNG, JPEG, XPM formats as well as Freetype/ttf fonts.

  • memcached, which is for heavy traffic sites.
  • clamav, an ?AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit.

  • latex-cjk-all, a macro package for LaTeX to enable typesetting in Chinese,

Japanese, Korean and Thai, and it supports Vietnamese

  • tetex-extra, additional parts of teTeX
  • mediawiki-extension (Etch) package that might be worth looking at.

DATABASE - MySQL:

MediaWiki requires the use of a database, which can be either MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it does recommend using MySQL.

  • # apt-get mysql-server

To set Mysql Root password use the following command:

  • # mysqladmin -u root password mysqlrootpassword (Replace mysqlrootpassword with your secret password.)

Once you set the root password you can test this password:

  • # mysqladmin -h localhost -u root (This did not work for me, even though I know MySQL is up and running)

Now we need to create a Mediawiki MySQL database and user.
