Installation experiences

Installation experiences

Upgraded to MediaWiki-1.6.8 - the current stable release for PHP 4.x.

MediaWiki-1.7.1 requires PHP 5 which is not installed.

I remembered to move the custom wiki.png to the skins/common/images directory.

The UUism Networks Web Site has been secured since the last installation, so all files must be owned by the local user and can't be group/world writable.

I did NOT have to chmod a w images to allow access to a temporary directory due to the increated security.

Finally, I copied the value of $wgSpamRegex from /includes/DefaultSettings.php to the new file.

I had to change back to index.php? format due to the new security scheme.

Upgraded to MediaWiki-1.3.0 - the current release.

I turned off the Global_registers settings. Let's see if anything breaks.

I had to make the images directory writable again. This is due to running in Safe Mode.

--Jim 8/14/04

It worked!

I got MediaWiki-1.3beta5 to install.

I had to increase the PHP memory limit to 20M and make the images directory writable.
