Details

rebuildall.php file is a maintenance script to rebuild the links and indices used for searching your site.

You should run this script after importing some data into your wiki. It will populate the categorylinks, pagelinks, and imagelinks tables and refresh the search index. It will not import or "register" images (even if they are in upload directory and there are articles referencing them). You should use the rebuildImages.phpManual:RebuildImages.php or importImages.phpManual:ImportImages.php scripts to do this.

This script is equivalent to running rebuildtextindex.phpManual:rebuildtextindex.php followed by rebuildrecentchanges.phpManual:rebuildrecentchanges.php, and finally followed by refreshLinks.phpManual:refreshLinks.php.

Using the script

This script must be run from the command line.

Open a terminal or command window and change directories to the maintenance subdirectory of the wiki.

Windows

cd C:\path\to\wiki\maintenance
C:\path\to\php.exe rebuildall.php

Linux/Unix

cd /path/to/wiki/maintenance
/path/to/php rebuildall.php
