Title: Anyone got MediaWiki installed on SME?
Post by: wjhobbs on March 17, 2007, 04:08:15 PM

I notice that SME Documentation is using MediaWiki.

Has anyone succeeded in getting MediaWiki installed on the SME Server? If so, is there a how-to available?

Thanks.

John

You will at least have to upgrade PHP on SME server which is currently running 4.3.9 if I remember correctly. Mediawiki requires php 5.0 or later as of version 1.7, you can install an older version that is PHP compatible though. There is a howto on this forum for upgrading PHP to version 5 in combination with MySQL 5 I believe, the latter is not required as MediaWiki should run on Mysql 4, which is supplied with SME Server.

MediaWiki are in some centos repos. Which is why it's very easy.

Personally, I would wait till the next version of sme/centos is released -which should be shortly. Centos 5 is already in beta version and sme will follow shortly. This has php5 among other upgrades. this will allow the most recent versions of mediawiki to be installed easily.

I love your How-to on your site :lol:  You summed it up very nicely :)

Thanks for pointing out 1.6.10, I was thinking that I was going to have to set it up on a different server.

I was being a smartarse with that.

I didn't use a rpm but installation is just like most web apps that go into /opt .
