So far, we have moved all of the installation files to our web server, set the permissions on the config
folder so we can write to it, and created a database for MediaWiki content and other details. All that is left is to run the installation much like we would if we were installing a copy of OpenOffice.org
or GIMP on our computer at home.
The entire process is done through our web browser so before we get started, open your web browser and type the location of your wiki in the address bar. As I am creating a wiki in the root of my domain, I would type in http://www.flosspropopulo.com. If, however, I was installing to a subdomain named wiki
, the address would be http://wiki.flosspropopulo.com. Of course, if the installation was going to be in a subdirectory named wiki
, I would type http://www.flosspropopulo.com/wiki.
