I have this all working following these instructions:
http://www.wikihow.com/Install-MediaWiki-on-Fedora In my case I used mysql. All working and I can access the wiki from an XO as follows http://schoolserver/wiki All good. We're now able to upload content to Moodle and mediwiki as appropriately, on the same machine. You might ask why we need both, well it's explained in the background info below. Were now working on lesson plans to guide teachers and students in creating local language content about the environment in many formats using the XOs where available and SOAS and other means in schools without OLPC. The server is available to several schools around Marovo Lagoon over a wireless WAN. Teachers will collaborate on creating lesson plans using a great tool in the WikiEducator, which uses templates. More here (note it will all be divided into Marovo/English). http://wikieducator.org/Patukae_College/OER_Reef_and_Rainforest_wiki_in_Maro vo_Language David Leeming Solomon Islands Rural Link From: server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org [mailto:server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org] On Behalf Of David Leeming Sent: Saturday, 23 October 2010 3:30 p.m. To: 'Reuben K. Caron' Cc: 'XS Devel'; 'Michael Stein' Subject: Re: [Server-devel] MediaWiki on XS Hi, Things may have moved forward a bit since this useful document was shared on this list. I have tried to follow the instructions and installed mediawiki (without texlive) and mysql using yum install, but (a) In the attached document, MySQL Preparation, the stated directories i.e. /usr/local/mysql/* do not exist. (b) There seem to be instances of the packages in /usr/bin but the command /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u <root password> <mypassword> gives error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Something has changed with the XS or does this show my installation has some issues? Background to his - I'm working on a project involving an OLPC pilot in Solomons, rural community and schools wi-fi network, and a UNESCO indigenous knowledge management project. To cut things short, we need to have mediawiki running on the same server as the XS. Then students using specially prepared lesson plans will create local language multimedia content for a wiki. For various reasons moderation is needed, and we also want to reduce any barriers to creativity and participation so a local wiki as well as the XS will be needed for user uploads (content contributions for the wiki) http://wikieducator.org/Patukae_College/OER_Reef_and_Rainforest_wiki_in_Maro vo_Language David Leeming Solomon Islands Rural Link From: Reuben K.
