How to stand up a MediaWiki on Windows Server 2012 (10 easy steps with pictures)

  • 项目

Step 1.  Setup Windows Server 2012 (see my build a lab series for that if you don’t know how).

Step 2.  Patch it and name it blah blah.

Step 3.  Download Microsoft Web Platform 4.5:

Step 5.  Click Database, then “MySQL Windows 5.1” and click “Add”

Step 8.  Click Continue and then Check the box, help the people who write code to get feedback on their installers, and hit “I Accept” (or don’t, that’s cool too, you still need to hit “I Accept, but you don’t need to check the box).

After clicking finish it opens an IE 10 window to local host.  It looks like there was a bug where there were // instead of / after ‘localhost’ so I removed one and hit enter.  Then I got prompted to turn on “Intranet Security” as it was currently disabled on my 2012 Server (action bar at the bottom of the browser window).  After I did that I got this:

Step 10.  Do wiki stuff!  Share and enjoy!

    Man they need to update the mediawiki install page and link it to this article.
    Their install instructions were giving me a headache with configuring PHP and what not.

    I agree with Don. Jeff, I find this very helpful too. I only wish that MySQL and MediaWiki were two different packages. For our installation, MySQL will be on its own server.

    How on earth do you get the extensions operational in this method. The LocalSettings.php is all funky...

    Is anyone else experiencing the following error? (below) I have scoured the internet for a fix and have yet to find one. Tried Visual C++ 2012, tried different versions of PHP; 5.5 and 7.0, verified IUSR permissions, etc. I'm at my wits end.HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server ErrorC:\Program Files\PHP\v7.0\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

      If you're running PHP 5.5.x you need to ensure the VC++11 runtime is installed:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
