You??™ll
also need the Apache web server and the PHP scripting language loaded. All these packages,
including MediaWiki, are installable from YaST.
Go to the YaST Software Management module and search for each package. If you
happened to include the Web and FTP Server pattern in your openSUSE install, Apache is
already in. MySQL is included in the Database Development pattern and PHP is included
in the Web Development pattern. MediaWiki is not included in any pattern, so you must
install it separately from the openSUSE installation.
NOTE
You??™ll find much more information about the foundation packages for MediaWiki in
these chapters:
. Apache??”Chapter 26, ???Managing Web and FTP Servers???
. MySQL??”Chapter 29, ???Managing Databases???
. PHP??”Chapter 31, ???Creating Dynamic Websites???
Mediawiki stores its files in /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki. Open a file manager and make a
symlink from this directory to your ~/public_html folder, so that the Apache server can
see the files.
Now connect to a MySQL database. Check in Chapter 29 to learn how to create a database
(call it wikidb) and grant create, select, insert, update, delete, and lock tables permissions
to a user.
