Welcome to the MediaWiki installation guide which provides instructions on how to manually install and configure MediaWiki on a web server. Note that some users may find MediaWiki software bundles and hosting services with 1-click installation and wiki farms a convenient alternative to manual installation.
Benvenuto nella guida all'installazione di MediaWiki. La prima parte di questa guida fornisce le istruzioni generali su come installare e configurare MediaWiki in un web server. L'ultima sezione contiene note più dettagliate sull'installazione per le specifiche di sistema e usi non comuni del software.

For image thumbnailing and TeX-support, additional programs are required. (*) – MariaDB, a GPL fork of the MySQL code by Monty Widenius, the founder of MySQL, is an alternative and can also be used by MediaWiki. Debian/Ubuntu repos. |
Guida veloce all'installazione[edit | edit source]
Warning about webhost auto-installers |
Programs provided by webhosts to automatically install applications such as MediaWiki can, and frequently do, mishandle the process, resulting in errors and a failure to install MediaWiki (or another application for that matter). If you encounter this problem, it does not mean that you cannot install MediaWiki; all it means is that you should do it manually. This is very easy and there are benefits to doing this, including more control over where on the server and file path you want to install it, the ability to use a shared database, or the ability to control more features of the wiki during the installation. |
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, below.
- Check that your system meets the minimum requirements
- Download MediaWiki (direct link to latest version) and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
- Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form http://[domain]/[directory]/mw-config/index.php. Replace [directory] with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installing on a local machine, replace [domain] with [localhost]. A locally installed wiki will need the LocalSettings.php modified from [localhost] to [domain] if you will ever be accessing the wiki from that domain. If installed on a remote server, replace [domain] with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
Queste istruzioni sono deliberatamente brevi. Ci sono molte cose che possono andare storte. Per ulteriori dubbi, consulta la sezione successiva.
Guida principale all'installazione[edit | edit source]
- Prima di installare controlla:
- Configurare MediaWiki:
- Configurazione iniziale (usando lo script di configurazione)
- Configurazione avanzata
- Installare estensioni
Alternativa all'installazione manuale[edit | edit source]
Some users may prefer to skip manual installation by using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance or hosting services with 1-click installation and wiki farms.
If you are installing only for development or testing, consider using mediawiki-vagrant. You must have (and enable) hardware virtualization. Many modern computers have this, and you can check in your BIOS.

System-specific instructions[edit | edit source]
The following pages give more detailed installation instructions aimed at specific systems. However, by and large Manual:Installing MediaWiki is more up to date, and better written than the per system docs, and as such it is recommended you first consult the main install instructions before looking at a per system installation documents.
Note[edit | edit source]
- MediaWiki ships with an installation script which allows web-based configuration
- MediaWiki can share the database of another web-based application, e.g. phpBB etc.
- Knowledge of PHP is required in order to customize the software
- PHP 5 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.7 – if you are using an older version of PHP and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.6.12 (download). Note that this version is no longer supported.
- MySQL 4 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.6 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.5.8 (download). Note that this version is no longer supported.
- MySQL 5 support is required since MediaWiki 1.19 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade, you should use MediaWiki 1.18.5 (download). Note that this version is no longer supported.
- Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such as phpMyAdmin (MySQL) or phpPgAdmin (Postgres) to help administer the database server.
