How To Install a Local MediaWiki
Specific to Mac OS X
- Performed on a Leopard-upgraded-from-Tiger machine (not clean)
Steps
- Download mysql-5.0.45-osx10.4-i686.dmg [1]
- Read the included ReadMe.txt file
- Shut down any existing MySQL servers that are running
- Launch the pkg installer (mysql-5.0.45-osx10.4-i686.pkg)
- Install the MySQLStartupItem.pkg to make automatic start-up easier to manage.
- In your System Preferences, go into Sharing and turn on Web Sharing
- You should now be able to see an Apache web server running at http://localhost/
- Problem with permissions with Leopard-upgraded account.
- Terminal: sudo cp /etc/httpd/users/*.conf /etc/apache2/users/.
- Terminal: sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- uncomment: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
- You should now be able to see an Apache web server running at http://localhost/
- Reboot so mysql and apache start up fresh.
- Download MediaWiki [2]
- Read the Installation Guide [3]
- Terminal: cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
- Terminal: sudo mkdir wiki
- Terminal: cd wiki
- Terminal: sudo tar xvfz ~/Downloads/mediawiki-1.11.0.tar.gz
- Browse to http://localhost/wiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/
- Note the message to change permissions:
- Terminal: cd .../mediawiki-1.11.0
- Terminal: sudo chmod a+w config
- Retry running configuration.
- Note the message to change permissions:
- Configure using the web form
- If you're going to use a Creative Commons license, configure it first before anything else. The new form won't retain of the field values so you'll be entering things twice.
- Be sure to assign a prefix in the Database table prefix field. Makes it easier to maintain multiple wikis and/or start from scratch.
- Error: Attempting to connect to database server as root...failed with error [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
- Change: Field Database Host from localhost to 127.0.0.1
- Error: Attempting to connect to database server as wikiuser...failed due to authentication errors. Check passwords.
- Change:
- Checkbox Superuser account to checked
- Leave field Superuser password blank.
- Change:
- Terminal: sudo mv config/LocalSettings.php .
- Follow the link to http://localhost/wiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/index.php
Tips and Tricks
- Download and install CocoaMySQL [4] to more easily maintain your MySQL databases.
- If you want to reconfigure your wiki from scratch, delete or rename the LocalSettings.php and rerun the install process.
