Manual:Installation on Uniform Server (Windows)/yue

WAMP 系統之中，用Uniform Server， 我地可以嚮 10 分鐘之內（如果練習過，又揀啱好日）、load 落兩份總共 7MB 嘅快佬就嚮各款 Windows 入面裝、設、行到一架wiki同埋佢所需嘅web同埋database伺服機.

套程式同資料庫，裝好校好都唔夠 21MB，所以放得落一塊 32MB memory card、32MB USB flash drive、PCMCIA/PC Card/CardBus 碟、LS-120 SuperDisk 或者第啲 portable media. 有咁樣一架 私伙維基都幾有用，可以用來示範、筆記、或者用份 simple copy 來超快安裝.

步/Procedure
呢套步驟安裝 用來嚮 Windows 行 MediaWiki 嘅主要部份. 開波之前，睇咗先；如果你有問題，去睇下.

第種做法/Alternate Approach
你可用 CH Software 嘅 WOS Portable 來代替 Uniform Server. 唔使用多一個 drive letter，而且一 unzip 就用得. 佢喺 GNU GPL 之下發表. 你可以由 http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm 攞到. （指示喺Manual:Wiki on a stick with WOS (Webserver on Stick). ）

安裝伺服機/Install the servers

 * 開 .  呢份係會自己 extract 嘅壓縮檔，包埋畀架維基用得嘅 Apache 同 MySQL 伺服器檔.   Extract 緊時會問你想擺喺邊個 destination folder.   撳下個 browse 掣來揾你想用嘅儲存架生.

Extraction 會整出個叫" "嘅 folder. 呢個 folder 入面有個叫 " " 嘅 sub-folder，佢會成為一 drive 字母嘅樹根. 你鍾意嘅話，可以改 " " 做第個名. 但係唔好改 " " 個名，除非你打算改曬全部引呢個名嘅嘢.

改兩份 text 快佬來校好架伺服器 / Edit two text files to configure the servers
改 Apache伺服機嘅 config 快佬：
 * 1) 如果重未有，喺 入面整個新嘅 sub-folder.
 * 2) Open the file  * in a text editor (such as WordPad).
 * 3) 揾 " " ，改   做  .   少啲 threads 會好 test 啲.
 * 4) 揾：" " ，改佢做 " - 咁樣，淨係本地呢架電腦至 access 到.  我哋呢版叫架本地機做 " ".
 * 5) 儲低份快佬，閂埋佢.

* Note: In previous versions of Uniform Server the  folder was named.

跟住咁修改 MySQL 伺服器 份 config 快佬：
 * 1) 開架編輯器，例如 Notepad，設 file type 做 show all files.  打開   .   唔好喺 Windows Explorer 「撳兩下」，因為 Windows Explorer 會當份快佬做支叫 嘅捷徑，唔會幫你用架編輯器打開佢.   如果你搞唔拈，試下掹粒 my-small icon 入個 open text editor window.
 * 2) 揾：" ".   喺 " " 下面加一行字：
 * 3) 儲低份快佬，閂埋佢.

裝 MediaWiki程式
啱啱撈低時，Mediawiki 係份壓縮咗嘅快佬， 多數"Zip" 架生都可以放返佢大. 呢度 7-zip係隻free嘅 Windows 放大 zip 快佬架生. Linux 都有份命令行嘅p7zip.

如果你用 WinZip，記住熄咗 "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" (look under Options|Configuration|Miscellaneous)，唔係會 corrupt 咗份 configuration 快佬. 記住揀埋 "Use Folder Names".

睇你用邊種解壓程式，你可能要幫  file 入便嘅  file 解多一次壓. 睇吓第一次解壓後嘅 folder 入便：如果你淨係睇到啲  file，就解埋佢喇.

This folder will contain your wiki. The folder name is part of the URL for the wiki. It is easier to follow the instructions if you rename " " to " " until you have the wiki working. Then you can rename the folder to whatever you want.
 * 1) Uncompress the MediaWiki zip file into the sub-folder.
 * 2) Unpacking creates a sub-folder called " ", where "x.y.z" is the version number of the wiki software.
 * 1) These instructions use the folder name " ".

Configure the wiki
The installation at this point is 39 MB. How do you reduce the size of the installation? One option is to check the MediaWiki languages subdirectory, which is about 4.25Mb. You can get it down to 150Kb by deleting all of the Language??.php and Messages??.php files you're not using (but don't delete LanguageUtf8.php). This still only gets the installation down to 35 MB. It is not explained sufficiently in the article how to get it down to the 21 MB.

Assigning a drive letter
Windows uses drive letters, not names. Most systems will have a C: drive, and may have a D: and E: or even more. Any hard drives, CD/DVD drives and USB storage devices will have their drive letter automatically assigned. The Wiki "server-start.bat" file sends a command to Windows that makes Windows act as if the Wiki directories on the memory stick are on a hard drive of their own.

These instructions use "w" as the drive letter. To make sure this is a valid drive letter, look at "My Computer" and see which letters have been assigned to local and network hard drives. In the example below, a typical Windows installation, drives C, D, and E are assigned.



NB: If the drive letter is changed from "w", the Uniform Server administration configuration file must also be updated, or the Admin Panel won't be accessible. Search for " " and specify the correct drive letter.

Editing the Uniform Server start-up script (optional)
The script used to start the Uniform Server has the following syntax:

Comments:
 * If no drive letter is specified, &quot;w&quot; is used by default.
 * Specifying &quot; &quot; as the second argument will make MySQL start automatically.
 * Specifying &quot; &quot; as the third argument will leave the console window open after the servers have been started.

In order to remove the need for supplying command line arguments to the start-up script, it can be modified as follows:


 * 1) Open   in a text editor
 * 2) Find this line:
 * 3) Replace   with   to set &quot;k&quot; as the default drive.

Creating shortcuts for starting and stopping the servers

 * Right-click on	Server_Start.bat and drag it to your desktop. Select &quot;Create Shortcuts Here&quot;.  Label the shortcut &quot;Start Wiki Servers&quot;
 * Right-click on	stop.bat and drag it to your desktop. Select &quot;Create Shortcuts Here&quot;.  Label the shortcut &quot;Stop Wiki Servers&quot;

Starting the Wiki Servers
 Doubleclick the &quot;Start Wiki Servers&quot; shortcut icon to start the servers. This starts the 	servers' admin page in your web browser. You may get an error the first time due to timing. Click OK on any error messages. A refresh should confirm the server is running.If you see a blue screen that resembles this, the Apache server is working.

Successful server start.

Click "Run MySQL" on the left side of the Uniform Server window

Uniform Server v3.2a
Uniform Server v3.2a is a quick, easy and small installation containing the servers and platform software for MediaWiki. It includes:
 * web-server Apache 2 (v2.0.54)
 * scripting engine PHP 5 (v5.0.4) with libraries (inc. zlib, libxml2, iconv) and extensions (sockets, mysql, GD2)
 * database administration phpMyAdmin (v2.6.3-rc1)
 * databaser server MySQL 4 (v4.1.12a)
 * command scripting ActiveState Perl 5 (v5.8.7.813)

Uniform Server v3.3
Released 2005-12-26, Uniform Server v3.3 "includes the latest versions of Apache2, Perl5, PHP5, MySQL5, phpMyAdmin and ..." and for protected servers (schools, work, ETC>) this download will not work.

MediaWiki v1.3.7
MediaWiki v1.3.7 is the same wiki software seen here, and consists of PHP web scripts and libraries (including PHPTAL "non-PEAR-users" v0.7.0 and optional memcached v1.0.10 support), and a database schema, data, and interfaces.

Requirements
These are the requirements and related work-arounds for this procedure.

Windows
This procedure may work on any 32-bit/64-bit Windows, but initial testing of this procedure has only been done on Windows 2000 SP4. This procedure has also been tested with success on both Windows XP (Professional Edition) and Windows 98. Testing on Windows XP pro 64-bit edition shows no problems.

Exceptions and any work-arounds are: If you are using USB removable media, Windows 95 needs to be the OSR2 edition, and may need extra drivers.
 * Windows 95 : Ensure that the latest TCP/IP update (winsock2) has been applied.
 * Windows 98 : If you are using USB removable media, extra media drivers may be needed.
 * You may need to comment out the eighth line of the START.BAT file to allow this script to work, especially if you have any instance of the Apache web server installed anywhere on your hard drive(s).


 * Windows NT 4 : Possible server-control problem.

For non-Windows operating systems, see Manual:Installation.

Disk space

 * 7MB for the downloads
 * 21MB for the initial installation and configuration
 * Additional space as the wiki database grows with edits and uploads

Drive letter
This procedure assumes that the drive letter  is unused. Otherwise use a different unused letter where you see the italicised letter.

HTTP TCP port
This procedure assume that the HTTP TCP port (80) is unused. To check, run:

If the output shows  or , you need to either stop the current web server or use a different TCP port in this procedure. See.

No other Apache.exe
If another Apache is installed and running on the same computer, with the exact name "Apache.exe", then:
 * Rename  in the folder   to
 * Change " " to " " inside these files:  (2&times;),   (1&times;),   (1&times;; old version),   (1&times;; new version)

Troubleshooting & support resources

 * No monobook skin, as MediaWiki automatically disables it due to its included PHPTAL library being incompatible with Uniform Server's included PHP v5 PHPTal is no longer used.
 * No maths markup, due to lack of texvc, LaTeX, dvips, and ImageMagick software
 * Avoid <tt>texvc</tt>. Look at the alternative method of using math without <tt>texvc</tt>. You can use LaTeX, dvips from a Miktex distribution (be sure to copy the dlls into the folder <tt>/usr/bin</tt>)
 * Image resizing may not support certain formats, due to lack of ImageMagick software (but PNG, GIF, JPG, XBM and WBMP formats should be okay).
 * Image resizing may result in ugliness, due to lack of ImageMagick software
 * Download ImageMagick from http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.2.8-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe and install it.

 * Edit conflicts do not automatically merge, due to lack of diff3 software (available from inside )
 * The  folder may gain small " " files, which can be deleted when the servers are stopped

Procedure limitations

 * The servers only run while you are logged-in

Other limitations

 * Running the wiki from portable writable media, while convenient, is slow.
 * Perhaps this limitation can be overcome by running a copy of Wikiwyg.org instead.

Security considerations
The procedure only allows access to the web-server from the local machine. Once this changes, other aspects need to be considered for security.

Wiki security model
... overview & links ...

Types of users

 * Anonymous : ...
 * Registered : ... The initial  user has the user rights   and  .  For more information on user rights, see Manual:User rights.

Wiki access

 * Connecting to the wiki : ...
 * Reading the wiki : ...
 * Becoming a registered user : ...
 * Editing the wiki : ...
 * Special privileges (e.g. deletion) : ...

Wiki access models
Combining the types of user and types of access gives a security policy or access model. Common examples are:

Privacy

 * Internet : ... server certificates, caches ...
 * Web browser : ... cookies, cache, history, auto-completion, passwords ...

Servers
Uniform Server, like all WAMP packages, gets fixed slowly compared to its individual components. This makes these packages a security risk. Do not even think about making these servers accessible from the Internet without extra front-end authentication (e.g. by using a VPN).

How to access the wiki from other computers
edit these files:



Listen on the appropriate interfaces: to accept connections from all networks: Listen 80

or to accept connections from localhost and for example 192.168.100.0: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Listen 192.168.100.0:80

to make self references to your apache work you will have to edit the ServerName entry: put your DNS name there or your IP ServerName 192.168.11.100:80 Give the appropriate rights in your .htaccess files: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from 192.168.11.0

if there is already a webserver active on port 80 you can switch to another port, for example 81. Then exchange :80 for :81 in Listen and ServerName. additionally you will have to edit the setup of phpmyadmin:

If you want to have access to phpmyadmin from the network you will also have to give access to this directory in the corosponding .htacces file: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from 192.168.11.0

Multiple wikis
Since the mysql-database for the wiki on a stick wiki runs locally, there is no limit on the number of databases which can be stored. To have several independent wikis on the same apache and mysql, just put them in distinct directories below and let each run it's install.php routine. Give different database names in the install.php routine. you can share the mysql-wiki user amongst different wikis, but it might be good to give each wiki its own mysql-user.

directory layout (example) (for testing) (stable for production)

Installing multiple wikis on a single server, using the same database
Here is how to install the Mediawiki software just once, but use it to power more than one wiki, keeping the tables for all the wikis in a single database-- including step-by-step instructions for a Unix-type of installation. This solution should work for most shared-hosting servers, too. Level of difficulty: Novice. See the instructions on this site.
