Okay... these are my notes while trying to setup the wiki on katlas.
Upgrading MySQL
For better or worse, I decided to upgrade MySQL to version 4.0 before doing anything else. I mostly followed these instructions.
Warning: do not install MySQL 4.1. It is incompatible with mediawiki. Install version 4.0.
For this I need three RPMs which are all available with only a little digging at mysql.com
- MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
- MySQL-server-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
- MySQL-client-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
The first of these is required so we don't break dependencies while upgrading. Install it first, with
- rpm -iv MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
Then upgrade the other two packages
- rpm -U MySQL-server-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
- rpm -U MySQL-client-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm
Note the warning the server install gives --
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h katlas.math.toronto.edu password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.
(note however that you need to upgrade the client package before mysqladmin is available to do this!)
I also deleted the local anonymous account, and put a password on the remote anonymous account. (Ask User:Scott for these passwords.)
Apache
I had to fix the server name, from katlas to katlas.math.toronto.edu in httpd.conf
I added
AllowOverride FileInfo
in the httpd.conf file, in the section for /var/www/html, so I could use .htaccess files to rewrite the wiki URLs nicely.
MediaWiki
I added the namespace "Knot data", as per these instructions, adding
$wgExtraNamespaces = array(100 => "Knot data", 101 => "Knot data talk"); $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array( -1 => 0, 0 => 0, 1 => 1, 2 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 0, 5 => 1, 6 => 0, 7 => 1, 8 => 0, 9 => 1, 10 => 0,11 => 1, 100 => 1, 101 => 1 );
to LocalSettings.php
