After a reinstall of my Debian 8 I'm having great difficulties in getting my own mediawiki instance (just available as a local instance and not web serving) working.
Can anyone tell me please what Debian packages I need to install that will allow me to use mariadb with a downloaded mediawiki.tar.gz.
Currently http://localhost/wiki/ is showing this text -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * This is the main web entry point for MediaWiki. * * If you are reading this in your web browser, your server is probably * not configured correctly to run PHP applications! --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
My ultimate aim is to be able to get a backup of my mediawiki website and then see if I can install it on my local setup.
Thanks Sharon.

Thanks Bartosz.
But what do I need to run mariadb please?
Thanks Sharon.
Replace mysql-server with mariadb-server, and apt should sort all the necessary dependencies out for you.

You might need to do some other prep.
https://downloads.mariadb.org/
I have run 10.1.x and 10.2.x on Debian 8 (and Mediawiki on top).
"Use CentOS, Fedora, Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, or Mageia? See our repository configuration tool."

You might need to invoke these commands.
*** sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386,ppc64el] http://lon1.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.1/debian jessie main' *** sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mariadb-server ***
The change from mysql to mariadb is easy enough, in my experience.
