Mediawiki setup (SoftInstall)

Platform

o Amazon EC2 o Ubuntu o LAMP

Mediawiki configuration

Most configuration is by editing LocalSettings.php. After editing you need to run following script to reflect the changes.

maintenance/update.php

External link in new screen

$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';

Cite

Extension:Cite is activated.

At LocalSettings.php

require_once "$IP/extensions/Cite/Cite.php";

PDF upload

To allow PDF upload, install PdfHandler

require_once "$IP/extensions/PdfHandler/PdfHandler.php";

Math extension

Latex like expression can be used.

<math>f(x)=\int_0^x{\frac{\lambda}{x}dx}<\math>

$f(x)=\underset{0}{\overset{x}{\int }}\frac{\lambda }{x}dx$

require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";

Newest Page

This extension displays newly create pages which can be used at "Main" page. [1]

 require_once "$IP/extensions/NewestPages/NewestPages.php";

No title at Page

require_once "$IP/extensions/NoTitle/NoTitle.php";
$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;

Restrict access by Category

writer를 제외한 일반 이용자들이 문서를 공개할 때까지는 보지 못하게 하기 위한 기능이다. 특정 분류에 속한 문서를 못보도록 하기 위해서는 작성문서 마지막줄에 [[Category:writer]]를 적어 놓으면 된다.

이 기능을 활성화하려면 LocalSettings.php 에 다음 줄을 추가한다.

require_once "$IP/extensions/Rabcg/Rabcg.php";
require_once "$IP/extensions/Rabcg/groups.php";

비밀 사용자 그룹은 Rabcg/groups.php 에 설정한다. 정의된 그룹은 SoftInstall, policy, future, safety, backend 이다.

$wgGroupPermissions['SoftInstall']['private'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['policy']['private'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['future']['private'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['safety']['private'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['backend']['private'] = true;

EmbedVideo

이 기능은 Youtube 등 비데오를 엠베딩하기 위한 것이다. [2]

Upgrade

Mediawiki can be upgraded by placing new version at /var/www/html. But care is needed to check extension is compatible.

Usual maintenance/update.php will handle it (including DB schema update).

Restart apache2

$ sudo service apache2 restart
