Hi there,
I want to set up a MediaWiki site on my hosting and domain. The
technical info seems a bit complex, could you explain it to me please?
I can get mySQL and PHP as required, but is a lot of PHP required to
make my wiki site secure and so some small edits?
Well, it's not any harder than installing MySQL, PHP, Apache/IIS; in
fact, I find it much easier. Read all the documentation (especially
README's INSTALL's or what comes with the package), then go through
the installation pages on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Contents and if you
come to any problems, post about them here or ask in IRC.
Frankly I don't see how anyone could explain such an open ended
question without you hiring someone and that person going through the
install for you.
