Since LocalSettings.php is not there, MediaWiki will guide you on the browser through a series of steps where you have to specify the wiki's name, the name of the database to be created, and other settings, including the username and password for the wiki's first user (by default, the username is “WikiSysop Once the installations are completed, you will be prompted to download the localsettings.php the installer has just created. LocalSettings.php is the initialization file for MediaWiki, holding all the user-modifiable settings for the wiki we'll get to many of them over the course of this book. LocalSettings.php – by default, it's not there, and its absence tells MediaWiki that this is a new installation. At that point, assuming you have PHP, a database system and a web server running, the MediaWiki code should get executed correctly, and it will then look for a file called Once you've downloaded the main MediaWiki code, go to the URL for that code in a browser. ( ) – a “MediaWiki Command-Line Interface” that installs via Docker, similar in concept to Canasta, although it does not include any extensions or skins. MediaWiki-Docker ( ) – “a Docker based development environment” that comes pre-installed with MediaWiki core so you still need to download (and install) MediaWiki in the standard way in order to use it.Another way is to download it on your local computer, edit it with a text editor (e.g. HostKnox clients can edit it with the File manager of the HostKnox control panel.

The mini-OS is referred to as a “container”, while the package that defines it is called an “image”, and this approach makes it much easier for package/image developers to ensure that what gets downloaded will work correctly regardless of the machine it is run on. At that point, assuming you have PHP, a database system and a web. Docker is extremely popular software that uses an approach called virtualization to simulate an entire an entire mini-operating system within your real operating system. Once youve downloaded the main MediaWiki code, go to the URL for that code in a browser. ![]()
