Manual:Installation guide/ro

Welcome to the MediaWiki installation guide which provides instructions on how to manually install and configure MediaWiki on a web server. Note that some users may find MediaWiki software bundles and hosting services with 1-click installation and wiki farms a convenient alternative to manual installation.

Prima parte a acestui ghid oferă largi instrucţiuni generale, în timp ce ultima secţiune conţine o listă de anexe care să ofere mai multe note detaliate de instalare pentru configuraţii de sistem specifice şi alte utilizări mai puţin frecvente ale software-ului.

Upgrade guide
If you are already running MediaWiki, see the Upgrade guide.

Ghid pentru instalare rapdiă
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to go through all the passages.


 * 1) Check that your system meets the minimum requirements
 * 2) Download MediaWiki  and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
 * 3) Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form http://[domain]/[directory]/mw-config/index.php. Replace [directory] with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installing on a local machine, replace [domain] with [localhost].  A locally installed wiki will need the LocalSettings.php modified from [localhost] to [domain] if you will ever be accessing the wiki from that domain. If installed on a remote server, replace [domain] with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
 * 4) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions!

Alternative to manual installation
Some users may prefer to skip manual installation by using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance or hosting services with 1-click installation and wiki farms.

If you are installing only for development or testing, consider using mediawiki-vagrant. You must have (and enable) hardware virtualization. Many modern computers have this, and you can check in your BIOS.
