http://serverfault.com – Sirs, I loaded PostgreSQL, as asked when I started loading MediaWiki. And Apache-PHP, and so on. Then, when I tried to start "MediaWiki", it wrote : PHP 5.2.13 installed Could not find a suitable database driver! For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.so module For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.so module. Mediawiki, WAMPPS, and several Softwares designed for UNIX or LINUX are not when loaded using the standard installation mode under Windows XP, i. e. "Setup.exe", or similar, Then, they cannot be opened ! (HowTos)

Backstory

Ubuntu died (wouldn't boot) and I couldn't fix it. I booted a live cd to recover the important stuff and saved it to my NAS. One of the things I backed up was /var/lib/mysql.

Reinstalled with Linux Mint because I was on Ubuntu 10.0.4 this was a good opportunity to try a new distro (and I don't like Unity).

I installed the mediawiki packages from the official repository, and I ran into several questions. Mediawiki installs into /usr/share/webapps/mediawiki, but the default root of apache is /srv/http. Is it safe to simply move the files from the former directory to /srv/http/mediawiki so I can actually access them from the browser?

fedora 12, mediwiki 3 years 21 weeks ago

hi all,

I would like to take a working, stable, MediaWiki directory under /var/www, copy its contents to a new directory, and perform whatever steps are necessary to place the new directory into "just installed" state.

Hi All,

This one is proving to be a nuisance for me. Basically, I've installed MediaWiki on 12.04 server ed. Now I've tried changing the document root, ServerName variable in apache and more, but I can't get my server's domain name to resolve to the directory where mediawiki is installed (grr!). So going to let's say foo.bar.com resolves to /var/www.

Compiling MySQL (F10) 32 weeks 18 hours ago

Hey guys, I'm about to compile MySQL to replace my aging MySQL from F10. What are the files that I need to back up before I plunge into compiling the newer version?

In PHP, I can just backup the module that's being loaded and I can see what the last settings where.

This MySQL that I have right now came from a repo.

Hello all,

I can't start postgresql and logs are empty. Here is the complete steps I did so far:

I just installed Opensuse 11.2, got it up to date. Then I zypped in postgresql and postgresql-server.

When I first did rcpostgresql start, after a while (a minute or so of waiting) I got a message "could not start server". Bummer.

I've just installed MySql to support a mediawiki install on 12.04 64bit. Everything appears to be working ok, except that at boot-up, mysql server fails to start. This results in an error appearing on the webpage:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

When I discover this, and run

sudo service mysql start

It all works ok after that until the next reboo
