Here the list of extensions that are no longer installed on the Wiki:

JsMath.
  • DEPRECATED — no longer used, replaced by Extension:Math / MathJax (better rendering, more powerful, easier to install, and jsMath is no longer updated).
Math
  • DEPRECATED — We don't use this extension anymore, but use MathJax extension instead (which allows for $...$ formulas).
  • Configure Math to use MathJax javascript engine for much better results.

// Set this if you don't use MediaWiki Math's texvc:
# $wgTexvc =  '/your/path/to/texvc';

Installation

  • Version mediawiki 1.13.0.
  • First go to Priorweb control panel, MySQL section, and creates new user (see $wgDBname, $wgDBuser and $wgDBpassword above)
  • and go to Priorweb mailmanager to create email address (see $wgEmergencyContact)
  • then ssh to daemenj@ftp.noekeon.org:
cd kiwi.noekeon.org/
wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf mediawiki-1.13.0.tar.gz
mv mediawiki-1.13.0 miki
cd miki
chmod +w config

mv config/LocalSettings.php .
chmod 600 LocalSettings.php
rm -r config
  • It's done!

Upgrade

Version 1.15.1

  • Update procedure explained in UPGRADE:
mv miki miki-old
tar -xvzf mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz
mv mediawiki-1.15.1 miki
cp miki-old/LocalSettings.php miki
cp -r miki-old/images miki
cp -r miki-old/extensions miki
rm -r miki/config
cd miki
cp AdminSettings.sample AdminSettings.php
vi AdminSettings.php                          # Edit the file as necessary
cd maintenance
php update.php
rm -r ../miki-old
# Don't forget to remove miki-old when everything's fine

Version 1.22.1

  • Not really an upgrade, but reinstall. Upgrade caused issue with the new short-URL, and our LocalSettings.php was too old.
mv miki oldmiki 
wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-1.22.1.tar.gz 
tar -xvzf mediawiki-1.22.1.tar.gz
mv mediawiki-1.22.1 miki
cp -iar oldmiki/images miki
cp -iar oldmiki/upload miki
cp oldmiki/kiwi.png miki

Version 1.28.1

First tentative, install from .tar.gz file. Aborted because of two reasons:

  • Tried to install the new mathoid extension.
  • Extension GeSHi was not working.
Mathoid
  • Reference:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
  • None of the install procedure works on Debian Jessie. This is what I did:
# Make sure umask is correct *** IMPORTANT ***
umask 022

# Install newest node.js -- the one of Jessie is much too old for Mathoid
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
apt install -y nodejs
# Install some dependencies
apt install librsvg2-dev
# Install npm *GLOBALLY*, as root, YES AS ROOT, GOSH
# ... Installing as root was the only way to solve the problem of "./app.js" module not found 
npm install -g mathoid
# ... mathoid is installed in /usr/lib/node_modules/mathoid
# ... test that it works:
cd /usr/lib/node_modules/mathoid
node server.js
# ... in a separate shell:
curl -d 'q=E=mc^2' localhost:10044

# Make sure umask is correct
umask 022

# We do a few things (from debian/mathoid.install / debian/mathoid.postinst)
addgroup --system mathoid
adduser --system --home /usr/lib/node_modules/mathoid --no-create-home --disabled-password --ingroup mathoid mathoid
cd /var/log
mkdir mathoid
chown mathoid:mathoid mathoid
chmod 700 mathoid

# If ok, generate the scripts
# We run the script to generate the startup scripts:
mkdir scripts/init
cd scripts/init
../gen-init-scripts.rb .

# Edit the files and copy as necessary

vi debian/mathoid.upstart
vi debian/mathoid.default
vi debian/mathoid.logrotate
vi config.dev.yaml
vi script/init/mathoid.service

cp debian/mathoid.upstart /etc/init/mathoid.conf
cp debian/mathoid.default /etc/default/mathoid
cp debian/mathoid.logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/mathoid
cp config.dev.yaml /etc/mathoid/config.yaml
cp script/init/mathoid.service /etc/systemd/system/mathoid.service

# Test everything is ok
systemctl start mathoid
systemctl status mathoid -l
ss -tupan|grep 10044
curl -d 'q=E=mc^2' localhost:10044
GeSHi
  • No rendering, no error, nothing, except category page with highlight problems.
  • Actually the issue was that shell_exec and proc_open (and maybe others) was disabled in PHP on server. See Phabricator bug T128993.
  • To get debug output, add to LocalSettings.php:
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgDevelopmentWarnings = true;
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/lib/mediawiki/images/debug.log";
  • To remove all interfering permissions, check files /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and possibly files in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/, for lines like
disable_functions = shell_exec, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_nice, proc_open, proc_terminate

and clear out everything (doing so MAY EXPOSE YOUR SERVER TO FOREIGN ATTACKS!): 

disable_functions =

version 1.27.1

Installed from debian package:

  • First, import logo kiwi.png as an image, such that now file is in ./images/e/ea/Kiwi.png.
  • Install the package
apt install mediawiki
vi /etc/apache2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf
# Remove Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/www.immie.org.conf
# Add 'Alias /wiki /var/lib/mediawiki'
  • Now visit the site and follow instruction. This upgrade the database and generate a new Localsettings.php
cp LocalSettings.php /etc/LocalSettings.php
chown www-data:www-data /etc/LocalSettings.php
chmod 700 /etc/LocalSettings.php
rm LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www
cp -rp --no-clobber /wiki/images /var/lib/mediawiki
mv wiki mediawiki
  • Add MathJax.
cd /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions
git clone https://github.com/hbshim/mediawiki-mathjax MathJax
chown -R www-data:www-data MathJax
cd /usr/share/javascript/mathjax/config/local
ln -sf /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/MathJax/mwMathJaxConfig.js
vi mwMathJaxConfig.js
# Edit URL at the end of the file
vi /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
# Add Mathjax stuff:
#
# # Extension:MathJax
# wfLoadExtension( 'MathJax' );
# # MathJax location
# $wgMathJaxJS = "/mathjax/MathJax.js";
# # Configuration - see "http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/config-files.html"
# $wgMathJaxProcConf = "TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML-full";
# # Local configuration file (excluding .js)
# $wgMathJaxLocConf = "local/mwMathJaxConfig";
# $wgParserCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
Troubleshooting
  • See above for GeSHi not running.

Troubleshooting

See MediaWiki - how to debug.

Mainly add to LocalSettings.php: 

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgDevelopmentWarnings = true;
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/lib/mediawiki/images/debug.log";

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

To Do

  • DONE — Upgrade jsMath to MathJax (see also [5]) (this requires MediaWiki 1.19 or higher)
