Manual:Config script/it

Una volta caricato/installato MediaWiki nel proprio server web, la prima cosa necessaria da fare è completare la configurazione di base avviando lo script di configurazione. Lo script vi accompagna per comunicare a MediaWiki le informazioni necessarie per avere la wiki funzionante ed operativa. The following steps describe how to complete basic setup:

Click on the link to begin the configuration script. For reference (in case you want to go there directly), this is located in MediaWiki's  directory (so using the example above you would go to  ). contains all the information needed by MediaWiki to run.
 * 1) Open a web browser and browse to the website address or path that you configured for MediaWiki in the web server software.
 * 1) You will see the version of MediaWiki which you extracted and a link to "Please set up the wiki first."
 * 1) After selecting the language, the configuration script performs some environmental checks.
 * 2) Follow the instructions on the pages to set up database access and to set further settings.
 * 3) The script will populate the database and write a configuration file.
 * 4) After the configuration script has finished, download the generated configuration file   and place the file in the base directory of your MediaWiki installation.



Your wiki should now be ready to use. Browse to the address that you installed MediaWiki to.
