Installing MediaWiki on Uniform Server 3.5-Apollo |
|
Having decided to move parts of UniCenter over to this Wiki, I thought it would be a good idea to learn what a Wiki does. |
To achieve this I downloaded and installed MediaWiki on The Uniform Server and hacked it around. This is my first attempt at a Wiki page.
The following instructions show you how to install MediaWiki on a clean version of 3.5-Apollo. It’s a personal server and will not be used online, hence no need to change any of The Uniform Server’s settings; it's locked down and safe to use even when your PC is connected to the Internet.
Preparation
|
Download MediaWiki, extract and copy it to folder www; details as follows:
That completes the preparations. |
