Manual:Configuration

The MediaWiki system is made up of many different parts. Once you have installed each of the components, you need to configure them to work together.

Configuring MediaWiki
The main configuration files for the MediaWiki software are LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php.

For a list of configuration settings, see:
 * Manual:Configuration settings
 * Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical) for an alphabetical list.

To configure specific parts of the software, see:
 * Manual:Cache for caching
 * Manual:Configuring file uploads for images
 * Manual:Short URL for URLs
