Installation
You need to have a web server installed, configured to be able to use php. You can follow the LAMP guide for that purpose.
Install the php-gd, php-intl, php-xcache and mediawiki, all available from the official repositories.
Instead of mysql you can use sqlite (which requires php-sqlite and sqlite) or postgresql.
Configuration
The steps to achieve a working MediaWiki configuration involve editing the PHP settings and adding the MediaWiki configuration snippets.
PHP
First, adjust the open_basedir
in /etc/php/php.ini
to include the webapps directory (allows update.php to be run from the command line):
/etc/php/php.ini
open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/
Then, still on /etc/php/php.ini
, look for the Dynamic Extensions
section and uncomment ;extension=gd.so
, uncomment ;extension=intl.so
and add extension=xcache.so
.
Second, tweak the session handling or you might get a fatal error (PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module[...]
) by finding the session.save_path
path. A good choice can be /var/lib/php/sessions
or /tmp/
.
/etc/php/php.ini
session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/sessions"
You will need to create the directory if it doesn't exist and then restrict its permissions:
# mkdir -p /var/lib/php/sessions/ # chown http:http /var/lib/php/sessions # chmod go-rwx /var/lib/php/sessions
Web server
Apache
Create /etc/webapps/mediawiki/httpd-mediawiki.conf
from the provided example apache.example.conf
in the same directory. Edit it to remove the php_admin_value open_basedir
line, which is already in php.ini
.
- Add the following lines to
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf Include /etc/webapps/mediawiki/httpd-mediawiki.conf
- Adjust permissions in
/usr/share/webapps/mediawiki/.htaccess
, e.g. to
allow from all
Restart the httpd.service
daemon.
Nginx
To get MediaWiki working with Nginx, create the following file:
/etc/nginx/mediawiki.conf
location / { index index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ @mediawiki; } location @mediawiki { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1&$args; } location ~ \.php5?$ { include fastcgi.conf; fastcgi_pass php; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { try_files $uri /index.php; expires max; log_not_found off; } # Restrictions based on the .htaccess files location ^~ ^/(cache|includes|maintenance|languages|serialized|tests|images/deleted)/ { deny all; } location ^~ ^/(bin|docs|extensions|includes|maintenance|mw-config|resources|serialized|tests)/ { internal; } location ^~ /images/ { try_files $uri /index.php; } location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
Ensure that php-fpm is installed, and in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
file, ensure that you have an upstream
directive named php
, similar to this one:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
upstream php { server unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; }
Include a server directive, similar to this
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server { listen 80; server_name mediawiki; root /usr/share/webapps/mediawiki; index index.php; charset utf-8; # For correct file uploads client_max_body_size 100m; # Equal or more than upload_max_filesize in /etc/php/php.ini client_body_timeout 60; include mediawiki.conf; }
Finally, restart the nginx.service
daemon:
# systemctl restart nginx.service
Lighttpd
You should have Lighttpd installed and configured. "mod_alias" and "mod_rewrite" in server.modules array of lighttpd is required. Append to the lighttpd configuration file the following lines
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
alias.url += ("/mediawiki" => "/usr/share/webapps/mediawiki/") url.rewrite-once += ( "^/mediawiki/wiki/upload/(.+)" => "/mediawiki/wiki/upload/$1", "^/mediawiki/wiki/$" => "/mediawiki/index.php", "^/mediawiki/wiki/([^?]*)(?:\?(.*))?" => "/mediawiki/index.php?title=$1&$2" )
Restart the lighttpd.service
daemon.
LocalSettings.php
Open the wiki url (is http://your_server/mediawiki/
) in a browser and do the initial setup to create LocalSettings.php
. Then save it to /usr/share/webapps/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
.
Tips and tricks
Mathematics (texvc)
Usually installing texvc and enabling it in the config are enough:
$wgUseTeX = true;
If you get problems, try to increase limits for shell commands:
$wgMaxShellMemory = 8000000; $wgMaxShellFileSize = 1000000; $wgMaxShellTime = 300;
Unicode
Check that php, apache and mysql uses UTF-8. Otherwise you may face strange bugs because of encoding mismatch.
