If you've installed everything with the ports defaults, the MediaWiki
files will end up in /usr/local/www/data-dist/mediawiki. If this
directory is outside of your web root (which it will be if you are
using Apache 2.2.x installed from ports) you can do something like
move manually into the directory of your choice within your web root
or add an Alias directive into the Apache configuration to point to
the installed directory.
There are also ways to force the port to install MediaWiki into your
directory of choice. For example, you can define the environment
variable "MEDIAWIKIDIR" and set it to your desired install directory
before doing the "make" on the port. If you do that, make sure to
update your pkgtools.conf file as well so the system remembers where
the files are installed when you do a future portupgrade.

The pkg_add worked with minor discrepancies (some of
the software
versions installed were slightly newer than the ones required by the
packages), but I'll assume for the time being that won't cause problems;
if it does, I'll just do a full "make".
But what do I do next? Presumably I have to get php/config/etc files
into my web server directory, somewhat as described in the 'generic'
install page at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Installation, but do
I do this by hand (and if so, from where), or is there a better way for
FreeBSD? The instructions at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_FreeBSD talk
about points involved in installing various extensions, but unless I'm
missing something, doesn't mention anything about what is necessary to
do between 'pkg_add' and restarting Apache. Since nothing obviously
related to MW has appeared in my web server directory after the MW
install, I'd assume I have to do _something_.
Thanks,
Ken
