Hi,
I'd like to write a script to fully automate the install of Mediawiki on my machine in order to ease recovery in case of crash. Unfortunately, all the install instructions I've seen so far involve running manually the script using forms to get info, described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Config_script.
Is there a documentation about this? Is it enough to follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki and copy the LocalSettings.php I've got during my first install? Or are there any other steps carried out by the script?
Regards,

Copy LocalSettings.php from backup Copy images folder from backup Redownload needed extensions Recreate mysql user Import database backup (you could manually create the structure using tables.sql but you will want to import the data anyway...)

Thanks for your answer. So to have a fresh installation, without any backup, instead of running through the config script by hand it is the same to copy a existing LocalSettings.php and setting up the DB (user + tables.sql), right? (just to be sure I understand correctly the install process)
Regards,
Is there a simple way to make tables in Mediawiki? I have made a couple of small ones by copying the code below, but I was wondering if there was some sort of GUI/WYSIWYG tool that would make nice tables inside a mediawiki page.
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;"> {| border="1" cellpadding="2" |-valign="top" |width="5%"|'''67''' |width="20%"|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |width="75%"|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. |-valign="top" |'''68''' Xxxxx xxxxxx |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. |-valign="top" |'''69''' |xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxx |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.} </blockquote>
