Introduction
editThis article gives instructions for people who want to run MediaWiki on a ALT Linux system.
Prerequisites: Apache, MySQL and PHP
editVersions of packages in ALT Linux branch/4.0 are ok for MediaWiki.
Just do a
apt-get update apt-get install lamp-server chkconfig httpd2 on service httpd2 start chkconfig mysqld on service mysqld start a2enmod mod_php5
For branch/p7 you also have to do
apt-get install php5-dom
PHP security configuration
editPHP in ALT Linux has quite secure defaults, so change the following settings in /etc/php/<version>/apache-mod_php/php.ini:
- safe_mode - turn it off
- memory_limit - raise to 500M
- suhosin.executor.func.blacklist, suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist, disable_functions - remove 'system', 'chdir', 'popen' and 'passthru' from those blacklists.
- remove 'exec', 'shell_exec', 'chdir' from blacklists
Page editing will break on very long pages unless you change the limit in /etc/php/<version>/apache-mod_php/php.d/suhosin.ini:
- suhosin.post.max_value_length - increase it to 650000
Do
service httpd2 restart
