Starting with MediaWiki 1.2.0, it's possible to install
and configure the wiki "in-place", as long as you have
-the necessary prerequesites available.
-
-In 1.3.0 the old command-line installer has been removed.
-A new command-line installer/upgrader may come soon...
+the necessary prerequisites available.
Required software:
-* Web server with PHP 4.1.2 or higher (4.3.x is preferred)
-* A MySQL server. 4.0.x is preferred, but 3.2.x should
- work as well.
+* Web server with PHP 5.x or higher.
+* A MySQL server, 4.0.14 or higher OR a Postgres server, 8.1 or higher
MediaWiki is developed and tested mainly on Unix/Linux
platforms, but should work on Windows as well.
If your PHP is configured as a CGI plug-in rather than
an Apache module you may experience problems, as this
-configuration is not well tested.
+configuration is not well tested. safe_mode is also not
+tested and unlikely to work.

+If you want math support see the instructions in math/README
Don't forget to check the RELEASE-NOTES file...
-********************** WARNING **************************
-The web-based install is still somewhat experimental. It
-doesn't yet support updating the format of an existing
-MediaWiki database, the maintenance scripts aren't available,
-and there may be all kinds of horrible bugs or security
-problems that haven't been worked out yet.
+Additional documentation is available online, which may include more
+detailed notes on particular operating systems and workarounds for
+difficult hosting environments:
-HOWEVER it is much easier, safer, and more reliable than
-the old install.php, and does not require root access
-if you already have a database and user access to it.

something nice, like "wiki", since it'll be in your URL.

+ | Hint: If you plan to use a fancy URL-rewriting scheme |
+ | to prettify your URLs, you should put the files in a |

To run the install script, you'll need to temporarily make
the 'config' subdirectory writable by the web server. The
simplest way to do this on a Unix/Linux system is to make
move it back up to the main wiki directory, and the wiki
should now be working.
+ +------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Security hint: if you have limited access on your server |
+ | and cannot change ownership of files, you might want to |
+ | *copy* instead of *move* LocalSettings.php. |
+ | |
+ | This will make the file owned by your user account |
+ | instead of by the web server, which is safer in case |
+ | another user's account is compromised. |
+ +------------------------------------------------------------+
+
Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the config
directory, or at least make it not world-writable (though
it will refuse to config again if the wiki is set up).

software, including performance improvements and security patches.
