Creating a Wikipedia clone (part 1)
By admin | September 25, 2008
If you ever wanted to set up your own topic-specific or subject-specific Wikipedia®, then you’re in luck! We’re here to give you simple and easy to follow instruction on creating your own mini-Wikipedia®.
Before you start:
- You need to have a web server with at least PHP5 and MySQL 4.
- You need to understand the GFDL, and either dual-license your site or make the parts you copy GFDL.
- Download MediaWiki and install it to /w.
- Go to your wiki in your web browser (go to yoursite.example/w/)
- Configure your new Wiki. You need to have your MySQL database name&pass ready – if you don’t have them, ask your system administrator. Select GFDL license/no license.
- When you are done, move /w/config/LocalSettings.php to /w/LocalSettings.php and delete /w/config.
- Go to your new wiki!
- Download the ParserFunctions and extract it to /w/extensions/. Add
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );to the end of /w/LocalSettings.php.
- You’re done setting up basic features! Read the next part to find out more.
