start wiki at boot up on os x lion
greetings,
MediaWiki 1.18.1
PHP 5.3.8 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.5.16
i'm trying to get os x to start up the wiki at boot up.
i've created a .plist which works when its in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
but when i put this .plist under /Library/LaunchDaemons and reboot, i get lots of error messages in the system.log ...

which look like they're being caused when mysql starts.
if i time it right i can actually see the wiki main page briefly but then it shuts down.
any ideas?
MediaWiki is not a desktop application. You can't "start" it.
I assume you mean you want to start Apache and MySQL at boot up ?
This is very possible, but depends on which Apache/MySQL you use. If you use the default Apache that comes with OS X, then all you have to do is enable it from the System Preferences > Sharing > Web Sharing and then it will be started right away and also starts when the system boots up (I do this myself as well).
hi Krinkle, thanks for the reply.
>MediaWiki is not a desktop application. You can't "start" it.
sure you can, if this were a more typical unix flavour i'd expect to be able to put the command i'm currently using to "start" it...
/Applications/mediawiki-1.18.1-0/ctlscript.sh start
in one of the rc scripts and that (hopefully) would be it. but the equivalent under os x seems to be (i'm new to os x but not unix) to create a .plist file and use launchctl load etc however when i do that i get the errors i mentioned. i was hoping someone had already come across this and knew of a fix otherwise i'll have to go into the mysql start scripts and try to figure out whats offending mach.
cheers,

There is no such file called ctlscript.sh in MediaWiki's code base.
Point stands: There no such thing as "starting mediawiki". You can:
- Start Apache/MySQL
- and/or: Open a browser and point it to your wiki's URL
Is that what you mean?
