Revision as of 15:48, 18 November 2010
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 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 Uniform Server’s settings, its locked down and safe to use even when your PC is connected to the Internet.
