(alternative) Install MediaWiki as an RPM from EPEL[edit

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Red_Hat_Linux&action=edit§ion=8 ]

As an alternative to the above *recommended* install, EPEL maintains a pre-built package (.rpm file). The repository is located here: Fedora Project Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL. This package may be one or more versions behind the current stable MediaWiki branch. However, many RHEL and CentOS users find EPEL is a good source for packages not included in the base system.

First, configure your Red Hat (CentOS) installation to recognize the EPEL package repository, following these instructions: add the EPEL repository https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F as a source for your package manager.

List the available EPEL MediaWiki packages:

yum list 'mediawiki*'

or, if you want descriptions of each package

yum info 'mediawiki*'

Then install those that you choose with a command like

yum install *packagenames go here, blank separated*

Is this documentation invalid? It's not working for me.

Thanks, Eric

Hi,

I'm moving an old MediaWiki on to a new server, so I'm going through the MediaWIki Upgrade procedure ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading). I'm trying to do the alternate install so that our patch process keeps it up to date but I'm not finding mediawiki when listing. I set up EPEL so I can see the packages:

rpm -Uvh

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

...

But then I look for the mediawiki packages like this, but nothing shows:

# yum list 'mediawiki*'

Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Error: No matching Packages to list

All I see is this:

# yum list '*mediawiki*'

Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Installed Packages

drupal7-mediawiki_api.noarch 1.0-0.14.rc1.el7 @epel

libmediawiki.x86_64 4.10.0-7.el7 @epel

libmediawiki-devel.x86_64 4.10.0-7.el7 @epel

python-simplemediawiki.noarch 1.2.0-0.3.b2.el7 @epel

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
