Manual:Comando de Configuração (Script)

Depois de transferir e extrair o MediaWiki no seu servidor da Web, complete a configuração básica executando o comando de configuração. Este comando permite-lhe comunicar ao MediaWiki a informação necessária para que a wiki funcione. Os passos seguintes descrevem como concluir a configuração básica:

Executar o comando de configuração do MediaWiki no navegador da Web

MediaWiki 1.38 instalador web

In the following examples, it is assumed that your website is located at http://www.example.com/. The physical location on your server depends on your web server software configuration. Adjust the examples as needed.

1. Open a web browser and browse to the website address or path that you configured for MediaWiki in the web server software.

1. You will see the version of MediaWiki which you extracted and a link to "Please set up the wiki first."

Click on the link to begin the configuration script.
For reference (in case you want to go there directly), this is located in MediaWiki's mw-config directory (so using the example above you would go to http://www.example.com/mw-config/, or on a local machine http://localhost/mw-config/).

1. After selecting the language, the configuration script performs some environmental checks.
2. Follow the instructions on the pages to connect to the database, create the MediaWiki administrator account, and to set further settings such as the logo or skin.
   Since LocalSettings.php stores the database user's password in plain text, it is strongly suggested that you create a wiki specific database account (i.e. not root).
3. The script will populate the database and write a configuration file.
4. After the configuration script has finished, download the generated configuration file LocalSettings.php and place the file in the base directory of your MediaWiki installation.

LocalSettings.php contains all the information needed by MediaWiki to run.

Set stringent file permissions which system users can read and write the LocalSettings.php file.
For example, set chmod 600 and chown <webserver owner> (Owner read and write, no other permissions).

Your wiki should now be ready to use. Browse to the address that you installed MediaWiki to.
