Is there a web-based application for MediaWiki? That is, I am a non-technical user and don't want to have to worry about the technical issues of hosting my wiki even with the help of an appliance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.216.170.236 (talk • contribs) 14 January 2010.

 * There are free wiki hosting services. For example http://www.wikia.com, which is based on MediaWiki. These are really simple. No PHP editing, no extra extensions are required. You just fill in a web form. See http://www.wikimatrix.org for a comparison of different options. Mange01 18:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

rPath links broken?
I can't find the information on the rPath product. After you follow the link from this Wiki page you get some info but the links on that page are broken. Does anyone have any other ideas on appliances to help with process of installing Media Wiki?

VirtualBox vs. VMware
Is one better than the other, as far as running MediaWiki is concerned? What are the pros and cons? Tisane 04:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Hardware Appliance
Hi,

My friend and I were dissatisfied with the lack of an easy hardware appliance for mediawiki. So we built one ourselves and released the source code and are selling boxes to friends. Our "InnoBox" as we call it boots a working mediawiki, with a handful of popular extensions and a custom GUI to handle nightly backups and restore. I think people will find it useful. Is this the appropriate place for a link? We are selling hardware ($599) at http://innoboxdevices.com and we have released source under the AGPL at http://github.com/innobox

I assume that since TurnKey Linux is also a for-profit institution and is listed here, it should not be a problem to add one more listing, but I would like to make sure.

Best, Kramer
