Tech:Wiki setup

From WickedGov Meta-Wiki

The following is the technical process for setting up a new wiki on the WickedGov farm.

  1. Set up (sub)domain and Apache virtualhost
  2. Download MediaWiki
  3. Set database settings, then set up database through web installer
  4. WHAT TO CHANGE IN EXISTING CONFIG
    • Create LocalSettings_<dbname>.php with $wgDBname
    • Add to unified LocalSettings.php
    • Add to $wgLocalDatabases
    • Add to $wgConf->suffixes if applicable
    • In $wgConf->settings, set server, canonicalServer, Sitename
    • Configure CentralNotice
  5. Run update.php; errors about GlobalBlocking are probably normal as of MW 1.43
  6. OPTIONAL: for CentralAuth fixes, run migratePass0.php then attachAccount.php

Done, yay!
