| | 11 | To setup a new wiki: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * Create a DNS record for the name (preferable in the member's own DNS control panel) that points to the IP address: 209.51.163.6 |
| | 14 | * Login to peltier.mayfirst.org as root and run the following commands: |
| | 15 | {{{ |
| | 16 | cd /etc/mediawiki/members-configs |
| | 17 | # create and edit NAME.wiki.mayfirst.org to meet needs of new wiki |
| | 18 | cp example.wiki.mayfirst.org NAME.wiki.mayfirst.org |
| | 19 | # create new tables for the installation. PREFIX should be a short prefix |
| | 20 | # for the tables, e.g. mfpl_ or ussf2010_ |
| | 21 | create-new-tables PREFIX |
| | 22 | # create an image directory (should match settings in NAME.wiki.mayfirst.org) |
| | 23 | mkdir /srv/www/wiki.mayfirst.org/mediawiki/images/PREFIX |
| | 24 | chown mediawiki:nogroup /srv/www/wiki.mayfirst.org/mediawiki/images/PREFIX |
| | 25 | }}} |
