Apache2 Info

key directories::

   /etc/apache2 [sites-available]

Note that for mods and sites, use::

   a2ensite sitename (to enable)
   a2dissite sitename (to disable)

OR::

   a2enmod modname
   a2dismod modname

.. note:: Added mod_wsgi (sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi) this is the module that loads python files now.

Created a site called ee that is being used in general for 'dev' right now. Once things work there, will move to proper site.

MediaWiki

MediaWiki was installed from a download of version 1.17. It is installed into the /opt directory. A postgresql database was set up. apt was *not* used, as it wanted to install MySQL

1. download source distribution to /opt
2. extracted into /opt, linked /etc/mediawiki to source folder
3. intalled postresql with apt
4. used postgresql for mediawiki

PostGres

Enabled the phpgadmin module:

createuser -S -D -R -P -E mediawiki
ln -f /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/mods-available/phppgadmin.conf
a2enmod phppgadmin
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/phppgadmin.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/. 

Extensions

cd extensions/
scp -r burkhart@niflheim.nilu.no:/var/www/html/mediawiki/extensions/* .
