Set up mediawiki with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
From Linuxintro
To set up mediawiki with a SuSE Linux distribution, issue the commands
yast -i apache2-mod_php5 yast -i mysql yast -i php5-mysql /etc/init.d/apache2 start /etc/init.d/mysql start
- Make sure you can see websites from /srv/www/htdocs. To do this:
cp /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.template /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf
- change DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf so it points to /srv/www/htdocs
- create a file index.htm in /srv/www/htdocs
- restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- surf to http://localhost and verify you get index.htm served
- Download mediawiki from http://www.mediawiki.org and save it to /tmp. In this example we assume it is mediawiki 1.21.2.
Then extract the mediawiki installation package, in this case to apache's default directory:
cd /srv/www/htdocs tar xvzf /tmp/mediawiki-1.21.2.tar.gz mv mediawiki-1.21.2 mediawiki chown -R wwwrun:www mediawiki
Then, point your browser to http://localhost/mediawiki. You see a web site like this:
Continue as instructed. Your root database password is blank ("").
