Manual:LocalSettings.php/nl

Het bestand   bevat basisinstellingen (gebaseerd op ) voor een MediaWiki-aangedreven wiki. U zou de tijd moeten nemen om een kijkje te nemen in dit bestand. Dit bestand wordt normaliter aangemaakt door het webgebaseerde MediaWiki-installatieprogramma, maar u kunt zelf ook de instellingen aanpassen, meestal voor de Apacheinstellingen. Voor MediaWiki-installaties die worden gebruikt voor een wikifamilie, zou een bestand met de naam  gebruikt kunnen worden.

Waar op de server te vinden
The LocalSettings.php file is not a wiki page and you cannot access it with your web browser. Instead, it is a file in the file system of the server. Its contents are generated during the initial setup of the wiki and the resulting file must be copied on the server manually. The file must be located in the folder you installed MediaWiki into, on the same level with folders like includes/and skins/ and files like api.php. If this file is not there, the wiki will not work at all - if the wiki does work, the file is there. If you do not know where it is, you can enter a command such as find / -iname LocalSettings.php -print in a terminal window to locate it.

Veiligheid
Dit bestand bevat meestal privégegevens zoals wachtwoorden voor databasetoegang. Deze gegevens mogen nooit openbaar worden gemaakt! Door een veiligheidslek ergens op de server, zou het mogelijk kunnen zijn dat ongeautoriseerde personen toegang hebben tot de inhoud van het bestand. Om het bestand veiliger te maken tegen dit soort lekken, kunt u de (UNIX) rechten van het bestand wijzigen: de webserver (e.g. Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc. - maar als PHP onder een aparte gebruiker werkt moet die gebruiker toegang hebben) moet toegang hebben tot dit bestand. Als het account van de webserver hetzelfde is als de eigenaar van het bestand, kunt u de rechten van het bestand op "600" zetten. In sommige gevallen is de webserver niet de eigenaar van het bestand, maar is deze wel in de (UNIX) gebruikersgroep van het bestand. In dat geval zou het veranderen van de rechten naar "640" voldoende moeten zijn. Voor een hogere veiligheid van het bestand moet u toegang tot het bestand zo hoog als mogelijk beperken.

U kunt daarnaast ook een databasegebruiker aanmaken welke alleen toegang heeft tot de database gebruikt door de wiki, en de gegevens van deze gebruiker toe te voegen aan de LocalSettings.php Als laatste kunt u uw databaseserver ook zo aanpassen dat deze alleen verbindingen accepteert vanaf localhost (de server waarop uw databasesoftware runt) - hierdoor zal men geen toegang tot de data krijgen mochten de gegevens van de databasegebruiker gelekt worden.

Inhoud
Als u de LocalSettings.php aanpast, moet de tekencodering tijdens het opslaan hetzelfde blijven. U moet de codering "ANSI/UTF-8" gebruiken, hierdoor wordt de LocalSettings.php opgeslagen zonder een byte order mark (BOM).

De LocalSettings.php bevat PHP-code - voor het grootste deel krijgt een variabele data toegewezen. Het veranderen van een instelling betekent meestal het veranderen van een PHP-variabele. Nadat u een nieuwe versie van de LocalSettings.php heeft opgeslagen, worden de wijzigingen gelijk waargenomen door de server. Er hoeft niks opnieuw opgestart te worden, alhoewel het in sommige gevallen wel mogelijk is dat u de cache van uw webbrowser moet legen om de veranderingen die u heeft gemaakt te zien.

The default values of many more settings are set in, which should not be edited; if the variable you want to change is not already mentioned in your LocalSettings.php, copy the appropriate line from   and modify it appropriately in LocalSettings.php. Within LocalSettings.php you can add new lines at the end.

Within the file, there can also be several lines such as ' ', which point to extensions. These lines enable the according extension in the wiki. Those extensions may require setting the values of more variables in LocalSettings.php; check the documentation of the according extension for further instructions.

In MediaWiki 1.16 en eerder was het belangrijk om geen extensies aan te zetten (via 'require_once( "$IP/extensions/...." );') vóór de regel met de code, omdat daardoor de extensie niet zal werken, en het niet uitgesloten kan worden dat de hele wiki niet meer werkt. Sinds MediaWiki 1.17 is het niet meer nodig om de  te laden in de.

Like most PHP files in MediaWiki, LocalSettings.php</tt> does not end with the closing PHP tag. This prevents admins from accidentally adding new information after this tag. PHP works fine without a closing tag.

Als u een wiki op een MediaWiki wikifamilie heeft, is het mogelijk dat nu geen schrijftoegang (of leestoegang) heeft tot de LocalSettings.php (see o.a. ). De beslissing of uw gewenste instellingen wel of niet zullen worden toegevoegd aan de LocalSettings.php ligt dan bij de systeembeheerders van de wikifamilie, het is goed mogelijk dat zij de meeste instellingen op alle wiki's gelijk willen houden.

Lijst van beschikbare instellingen
Zie deze categorie (en de bijbehorende opmerkingen) voor meer informaties wat alle beschikbare instellingen doen. Een verkorte lijst van de meest belangrijke instellingen (en de meestgebruikte instellingen) staat hieronder.

Include path
The $IP (include path) variable holds the local file path to the base installation of your wiki. Since MediaWiki 1.17, MediaWiki is setting $IP automatically - setting it manually in LocalSettings.php</tt> is no longer needed. It will default to the current working directory automatically and can be used without the need to manually define it.

The DefaultSettings.php file gets loaded from the directory designated by the IP variable.

Wikinaam
De variabele  bevat de naam van uw wiki. Deze naam is veelgebruikt in MediaWiki, zoals op MediaWiki:Pagetitle. De Wikipedia tagline "Uit Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie" maakt ook gebruik van deze instelling.

Declensions of site name
Some translations of interface are ready for inflection of site name. You can set proper forms of word in variables ' (for example please refer to the ' documentation page).

Taal
De variable  bevat de standaardtaal van uw MediaWiki-installatie. Geregistreerde gebruikers kunnen de taal die zij standaard willen gebruiken in hun instellingen wijzigen - anonieme gebruikers en geregistreerde gebruikers die hun instellingen niet wijzigen zullen standaard de taal gebruiken die aan  is toegekend.

Scriptpad
 is the URL path prefix to access the main MediaWiki script that is the central acting piece of code of MediaWiki. This setting should correspond to the Apache settings, especially if you are using Apache's rewrite rules.

Server name
 can be used optionally to overwrite the automatic detection. When the wiki is accessed from either the localhost where it runs, from an intranet or from the internet, e-mail notifications and a few other computed messages would be usually delivered with the different URLs. Using  overwrites the detection and the server name will be constant.

If www.example.com is the server address of your wiki as seen from the internet, add a line such as

The magic word variable  can be used on wiki pages; it equals the value of  ; however, on a wiki, such as those in the WikiMedia family, where relative urls are used, it will not fully expand, for example here it displays, which can neither be clicked nor copy-pasted into the address bar as it is.

Script name
 is the name of the main (index) MediaWiki PHP script, named  by default. Changing the script name is probably not a good idea. However, if you feel the urge to do so, this is the place to make your changes. Make sure you know what you are doing.

Redirect script name
 specifies the URL path to the redirect script which handles redirects in MediaWiki. This setting is similar to wgScript as you can configure the exact name of the script. As mentioned above, this is probably not a good idea unless you really know what you are doing.

Artikelpad
 is the path to use when accessing a page in MediaWiki. The path should contain the path to the main script (usually making use of ) and use the   placeholder for the article name.

If you are using Apache rewrite rules to create pretty and short URLs, you probably need to adjust  to address the right path. Note that wgArticlePath is used to construct URLs from within MediaWiki. If you make a mistake here, internal links will show up incorrectly while you still may be able to access the main page by specifying the correct URL manually. See Manual:Short URL for more information on URL configuration.

Typical values are:

Stylesheet location
Use  to set the URL path to the place where the stylesheets (CSS) for the MediaWiki installation are located.  should point the same place, but note that this is a local file system path for use in internal scripts accessing the file system.

Upload location
The upload directory is the place where files uploaded by the users are stored. ' specifies the URL path, ' points to the local file system path.

Logo
 specifies which graphical logo is displayed in the top left corner of all mediawiki pages. These steps replace the default logo in the /wiki/skins/common/images/ directory, replacing /wiki with the path to the directory where you installed the MediaWiki software.

First, copy whatever logo you want into the /wiki/skins/common/images/ directory (replacing /wiki with the path to the directory where you installed the MediaWiki software).

Next, try to find the line that looks like this in LocalSettings.php</tt>:

If there's no such line, you can copy and paste the line above at the end of the file.

Then, modify that line to point to your logo. The logo must be web accessible. The value of this variable is passed to the web browser, which uses it to fetch the logo. If in doubt, a good way to pick what to put here is navigate to the logo in your web browser (for example, this wiki the url of the logo is http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/b/bc/Wiki.png ), and put the full url as the value of this variable.

Some people just replace the skins/common/images/wiki.png file with their logo. This is not recommended, as the customized logo would be overwritten on upgrade.

Contact info
 is the e-mail address of the user to contact if something goes wrong. This e-mail address is used to send internal bug reports to. As an administrator, you want to include your e-mail address here.

 is the e-mail address where e-mail gets sent from, when passwords are sent out to users who have forgotten their passwords. Choose an address people can reply to in case of trouble or confusion.

Databaseinstellingen
MediaWiki needs access to the database (currently either MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store pages, modifications, user information, and a lot more things.

 contains the hostname where the database is hosted on. In most cases this will be just "localhost" as the database is run on the same system, but for distributed installations, you need to fill in the fully qualified domain name of the computer running the database.

 is the database name of the database to be used by MediaWiki. A single MySQL or PostgreSQL installation can store more than one database and you can even run many MediaWiki installations on a single server. Make sure you have stated the correct database name here and use different database names for different wiki installations on the same database server.

' and ' contain the login name and password to be used by MediaWiki to access the database. Make sure the specified user has the proper access rights to be able to manipulate the wiki's table on the database server.

Gebruikersrechten
 is an associative array, controlling permissions for creating and editing pages for your different user groups. In this array, custom permission levels can be created, and permission levels for the different user groups can be set. See Help:User rights for more information about the different permissions and user groups available.

Force capital links
By default, no page name can start with a lowercase Roman letter: in an attempt to do so the first letter is converted to uppercase; if a link target, included page, image or category is specified with a name starting with a lowercase letter, the actual target etc. is the page starting with the corresponding capital.

Alternatively page names can start with a lowercase letter, in addition to the possibilities of starting with a capital, a digit, etc. For that you must adjust . Setting it to false allows lowercase characters, true chooses the default behavior.

Enabling subpages
In LocalSettings.php</tt>, subpages are enabled on a per-namespace basis using . For example, to enable subpages in the main namespace:

Image uploads
Before users are allowed to upload files to the MediaWiki system, you have to enable that feature. Make sure the Upload Directory is properly configured and writeable by the Apache web server process. Then set  to true to allow uploading in the web user interface.

i.e. Here's some example code from includes/DefaultSettings.php to put in LocalSettings.php</tt>: If you want to be able to resize images on the fly to support thumbnails, MediaWiki needs a working ImageMagick installation. Set  to true once you have installed and tested ImageMagick on your system. Make sure ' points to the proper location of the  command of your installation, that the command is executable by the web server process, and ' is large enough. See for detailed information and trouble-shooting.

Also, you may want to modify the list of accepted extensions, which is stored within :

In case ImageMagick outputs an error message similar to the following:
 * Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file is not available in includes/MimeMagic.php on line 506

then try adding the following line to LocalSettings.php</tt>:

= "file -bi";

Interwiki support
InterWiki support is built into MediaWiki but you need to configure the prefix to be used for your internal links. This prefix is usually the same as, but in case you need to change that, you set the variable to the preferred name.

Language of user interface
MediaWiki allows for a variety of localized user interfaces languages instead of the English default. If you want to run your wiki in a non-English language, set the variable to the proper language code (e.g. "de" for German, "es" for Spanish, etc.)

You may use any of the languages with a file in the directory. E.g. if you find es.json</tt>, then you can use  for Spanish. Do not use  with a capital letter. Although it seems to work, not all texts are translated.

Note: After changing the language code, you will need to run a PHP script to make it work. In a terminal window, change to your wiki directory, change to the maintenance</tt> folder, and enter. On Windows, the PHP folder might not be in your  environment variable and you'll have to prefix php with the path to the program.

Not all languages are supported. See here for a list of the localisation statistics of. See translatewiki.net for the statistics per released version.

Setting copyright for the site

 *  is the page on the wiki that covers the copyrights that it falls under. Usually, this will be Project:Copyrights.
 *  is the page describing full details of your license. (For the GNU FDL, for example, this would be .)
 *  is the text in the footer that follows "Content is available under". It will be linked to the page specified in.
 *  is the URL of the image placed at the left of the footer.
 * Note: If  is non-empty, the link in the copyright/license notice will link to that page on your site. If   is empty then the copyright/license notice will link to   instead.

To modify the copyright statements of the site, add something like this to LocalSettings.php</tt>: Afterwards, edit MediaWiki:Copyright to provide an appropriate message, using  to indicate the position where the link to your copyright page will be.

Example: setting a Creative Commons license

To set a Creative Commons license do the following:


 * Choose your license: http://creativecommons.org/choose/
 * Examine the returned HTML code, e.g.:


 * For  enter the href info from the first anchor:
 * For  enter the text the second anchor links from (add the "a" to the Wiki variable for a more grammatically correct version)
 * For  enter the src info from the img link in the first anchor. You want to copy the badge to your own site instead of using the one from the Creative Commons site.


 * For using RDF metadata about copyright add one or both of the following lines to your LocalSettings.php</tt>:

Custom namespaces
By declaring ', and modifying ', and , extra namespaces can be added to a MediaWiki installation; and by declaring the $wgNamespaceAliases array namespace aliases can be added. Take heed not to have any pages already titled in that namespace, for instance in you had a page called "Technical:Support" and you created the Technical: namespace, then that page would not only be lost, but you cannot remove it from Special:Allpages. To fix this delete the namespace, move "Technical:Support" to "Support" in mainspace, delete the redirect, reinsert the namespace, and move it back to "Technical:Support". See Custom namespaces for more information as to how to do so.

Skins
The default skin of the site can be modified via .
