===MediaWiki===

MediaWiki is not actually installed on mike (it is on caerostris), but instructions are here just in case.

The instructions follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X , but are somewhat customized.

 sudo mkdir /Library/MediaWiki

====MySQL====

On Mac OS Server, MySQL is preinstalled, but is not enabled by default.

Enable it with the GUI <code>Server admin</code>:
* Click on the server name
* Choose <code>Settings</code> and underneath <code>Services</code>
* In the list, enable <code>MySQL</code>

* Click on the triangle at the right of the server name to open the list of services
* Choose the <code>MySQL</code> service
* Set the root password
* Click on <code>Save</code>
* On the bottom of the window, click on <code>Start MySQL</code>

==== Creating MediaWiki Database ====
In order for the MediaWiki software to be able to read and write to the MySQL database, you need to create and give it access to a new database by issuing the following commands:
 mysqladmin -u root -p create wikidb
 mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO wikiuser IDENTIFIED BY 'wiki_password'"
 mysql -u root -p -e "SET PASSWORD FOR wikiuser = OLD_PASSWORD('wiki_password')"
 mysql -u root -p -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES"
Replace 'wiki_password' with a string of your choice. You will need to enter it later in the MediaWiki configuration.


==== PHP ====
On Mac OS Server, PHP is preinstalled, but is not enabled by default.

Enable it with the GUI <code>Server admin</code>:
* click on the triangle at the right of the server name to open the list of services
* Choose the <code>Web</code> service
* Choose <code>Settings</code> and underneath <code>Modules</code>
* In the list, enable <code>php5_module</code>
* Click on <code>Save</code>

==== WikiMedia Files ====

Get it from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Downloading_MediaWiki .

Unpack it to /Library/WikiMedia/

 cd /Library/MediaWiki
sudo chown -R www .
sudo chgrp -R admin .
chmod -R a+rw config
sudo mkdir uploads
sudo chown www uploads
sudo chgrp admin uploads

=====Create a Realm=====

# Server Admin -> Web -> Sites -> 443
# Select the Realms tab
# Click �+� under the Realms box and enter the following:
#* Realm Name: wiki
#* Authentication: Basic
#* Folder: /Library/MediaWiki (Note: You have to change the dropdown)
# Click �+� under the Users & Groups box, and drag/drop the users/groups that you want to give access to. Also be sure to give them read/write privileges.
# Click the Save button.

Now edit /etc/apache2/sites/0001_any_443_default.conf so it looks something like this:

        Alias /wiki "/Library/MediaWiki"
        <Directory "/Library/MediaWiki">
                AuthType Basic
                <Limit GET HEAD OPTIONS CONNECT POST PROPFIND PUT DELETE PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
                        Require group  localaccounts
                </Limit>
                AuthName "wiki"
        </Directory>
        <Directory "/Library/MediaWiki/web/uploads">
                AllowOverride None
                AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml
                php_admin_flag engine off
        </Directory>

Now restart Apache:

 sudo apachectl restart


====Configure MediaWiki====

Point your browser at https://caerostris.kin.ucalgary.ca/wiki/index.php .

Fill out everything.

# As prompted by the webpage, copy the <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file from the <tt>config</tt> folder up one level.
# Eventually, you should be led to <nowiki>https://caerostris.kin.ucalgary.ca/wiki/index.php/Main_Page</nowiki> and you should see a nice new wiki waiting to be populated.
# Once this is working, change the permissions of the config folder to prevent reading by anyone.  If the wiki is working, you may as well just delete this folder.
