- Activate Php5 instead of Php4: create a .htaccess file at the root of your site containing:
PHP 1
- Prepare wiki directory
tar xvfz mediawiki-1.7.1.tar.gz
mv mediawiki-1.7.1 wiki
cd wiki
- Modify
config/index.php: free restrict the set_include_path(), so paths given to require_once function calls must be prefixed by ../ Here is the diff with the original file (‘<’ prefix removed lines, ‘>’ prefix added lines):
43c43
< require_once( "install-utils.inc" );
---
> require_once( "../install-utils.inc" );
46,49c46,49
< require_once( "includes/Defines.php" );
< require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
< require_once( "includes/MagicWord.php" );
< require_once( "includes/Namespace.php" );
---
> require_once( "../includes/Defines.php" );
> require_once( "../includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
> require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" );
> require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" );

< require_once( "languages/Names.php" );
---
> require_once( "../languages/Names.php" );
- For the same reasons, modify
wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php:
31c31
< require_once( 'includes/SiteConfiguration.php' );
---
> require_once( 'SiteConfiguration.php' );
- Upload the wiki directory. You should now be able to access http://yoursite.free.fr/wiki/ . Follow the setup link, fill out the forms. For the Mysql configuration, choose
yoursite for the database name, and enter your ftp username/password.
- Move
wiki/config/LocalSettings.php to wiki/LocalSettings.php
- Create a
sessions directory at your site root directory to allow Php sessions to work.
