Which instructions say that? http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/REL1_14_0/phase3/INSTALL says to rename the directory to something else (mediawiki-1.14.0 is the default directory that would be created when you untar the files); the installation guide on MW.org doesn't say anything on the subject. In any event, you should move everything so that MediaWiki is at /var/www/mediawiki (or just /var/www/w; see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Recommended_how-to_guide_.28setup_used_on_Wikipedia.29 ). You will need to update your Apache alias, $wgScriptPath (in LocalSettings.php), and possibly $wgArticlePath when you do this. > 2) the update instructions say I might not have an AdminSettings.php file > but later say I must have one and it's used in the update.php command line. > I don't have one for my v1.14.0 mediawiki so do I need this and if not what > is the command for running update without it please? > You won't have it if you haven't upgraded before; you'll need to either create it (copy AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php and then edit it) or just define $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword in LocalSettings.php. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
