Backup

Some references:

My procedure:

  • Copy this file to the wiki server, and make it executable.
  • Run this script on the machine where the backup files are to be saved (adapt the script to your needs):

To restore a MediaWiki backup on a local LAMP server (see also [3] for DB creation, and [4] for MySQL restore command):

MYSQL_HISTFILE=/dev/null  mysql --user=root -p mysql
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mikiwiki;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mikiwiki.* TO miki@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '********';
mysql> quit
#Restore the wiki files
sudo mkdir /var/www/miki
cd /var/www/miki
sudo tar --strip 1 -xvzf ~/backup/wiki-20091111-www.noekeon.org_miki.daily.tar.gz
sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/miki
sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/miki
#Edit /var/www/miki/LocalSettings.php to match current config
sudo vi /var/www/miki/LocalSettings.php
# ... $wgDBserver="localhost"

# Restore the SQL backup (! note that mikiwiki is not the password, but the db name !!!):
gunzip < wiki-20091111-www.noekeon.org_miki.daily.sql.gz | mysql -u miki -p mikiwiki
# ... enter password for user miki
