Install PHP5 with mysql, mysqli, gd extensions (maybe should have installed PEAR? - need mail and
net_smtp if wiki is to send email!)
Add C:\PHP to your path. From the Start menu, right click My Computer and select Properties. From the
Advanced tab click the Environment Variables button. Under System Variable find Path and click Edit. At
the end of what is already present in Variable Value add a semicolon (;) and then C:\PHP.
Make sure GD is enabled in php.ini

4. Click the tab labeled "Home Directory."
5. Click the "Configuration…" button.
6. Click the "Add…" button.
7. Browse to %WINDIR%\system32\inetsrv\ to select fcgiext.dll as the Executable.
Note: If you are setting this up on 64bit platform in WOW mode, then you must use fcgiext.dll located in
%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\inetsrv
8. Enter .php as the Extension
9. Enter Verbs as GET,HEAD,POST
10 Ensure that "Script Engine" and "Verify that file exists" are checked.
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\fcgiext.ini should have the php block] --- 64 bit approach didn't work on our 64 bit Srv2003
# In explorer create folders C:\PHP\sessiondata and C:\PHP\uploadtemp
# Select both folders, right click, and choose properties. On the Security tab grant user
IUSR_<servername> “Modify” rights to both folders
# In Notepad open C:\PHP\php.ini
# Find the line “;cgi.force_redirect = 1” and uncomment it, change the value of “1” to “0”
# Find the line “upload_tmp_dir="C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\upload"” and change to
“upload_tmp_dir="C:\PHP\uploadtemp"”
# Change the next line to read: “session.save_path="C:\php\sessiondata"”
# ** Search PHP.INI for other instances of session.save_path and upload_tmp_dir. Comment them out, if
found.

# Save settings and exit IIS Manager
# Enable write permissions on the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mediawiki\config folder (at least during the setup
process). -- gave me trouble, so make it world writable to be sure
Install the asapi rewriter 1.2.12*c* (d didn't work) into a readable folder (must not be within the IIS
document tree), and add it as an ASAPI filter either for all of IIS or the specific wiki site(s) (in IIS
Manager). Make sure the log folder is writable by server.

Install Mediawiki into /w/ folder, and call up config page in browser
wikiadmin@fleetobserver.co.uk
Configure localsettings. Make sure pretty URLs are on:
#shorturl support
$wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1';
$wgScriptPath= '/w';
Staff wiki, with Win Auth:
$wgScriptPath = '/s';
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";
#shorturl support
$wgArticlePath = '/staff/$1';
If making multiple wikis, copy or symlink the mediawiki files, copy the wiki database, set up single
user table ($wgSharedDB) and remove the user table from the other wikis; use php logic to share config
robots.txt
redirect from / to /wiki/Main_Page:
<?php
// Permanent redirection
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.somacon.com/");
exit();
?>

It *might* be possible to have Windows Auth/Active Directory authenticate for the wiki too, but I havent
done that
Another tip: Ensure you have all of the necessary types configured in MIME settings (IIS server properties). Our wiki was throwing a 404 when we tried to access a .svg file because no MIME type existed.
