(See also Mediawiki on biowikifarm (quick introduction/overview of setup) and the Mediawiki installation page (first time installation details).)
Contents
Mediawiki maintenance scripts
(See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maintenance_scripts)
In /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/ copy AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php, create a new user wikiadmin for mysql with localhost only, and edit AdminSettings.php accordingly. Then, for each wiki, in /var/www/wikifolder/, a symlink must be created linking to /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/AdminSettings.php. Since we have a symlinked installation, installations scripts must run like:
php /var/www/wikifolder/maintenance/rebuildall.php --conf /var/www/wikifolder/LocalSettings.php
php /var/www/wikifolder/maintenance/importImages.php --conf /var/www/wikifolder/LocalSettings.php /var/www/wikifolder/media/newimages .jpg .png .svg
Rebuild all is necessary after external text, sql, or xml imports.
Table corruption: rebuildall.php may report that a table, especially searchindex (which is MyISAM even if other tables are InnoDB) is corrupt and needs to be repaired. In phpmyadmin, open a sql window for the affected database, and issue: truncate table searchindex;
. Running rebuildall.php afterwards concluded the repair in a case we had.
After erroneously localizing commons images not to openmedia but to local wikis, extension Nuke was used to deleted the caching-bot imports, and deleteArchivedFiles to actually delete all archived files, e.g.:
cd /var/www/v-on/w; php ./maintenance/deleteArchivedFiles.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php --delete
Fix problems with unparsable image names (see [1]). Needs NOT be run on regular basis, usually no problems:
cd /var/www/v-k2n/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-on/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/o; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/s; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Extension maintenance scripts
Some extensions provide their own maintenance scripts in their own extension folder. On a wiki farm, the execution of these scripts may fail due to the linked directory structure. They need an additional link (needs to be created only once):
cd /usr/share/mediawiki/; ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/maintenance
cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/maintenance
TitleKey now installed (here only example, full set of update commands available further down!):
cd /var/www/testwiki; php ./extensions/TitleKey/rebuildTitleKeys.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php
MediaWiki version upgrading
To upgrade Mediawiki first run the update on the staging version (= testwiki, http://biowikifarm.net/test):
# Test for unwanted local changes:
cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; sudo svn status phase3 extensions;
# If necessary, reset any unwanted local changes:
### cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; sudo svn revert -R phase3 extensions;
# restore modified icons reverted above:
sudo cp /usr/share/mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/skins/images/smw_button.png ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/skins/images/
sudo cp /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/skins/common/images/poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png ./phase3/skins/common/images/
# MAIN UPDATING:
cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; sudo svn update phase3 extensions -r100100
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful
# Optionally add other updates:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
cd /usr/share/; sudo svn update phpmyadmin-dev
- Note: when trying to find the precise svn version that is causing a bug within a range of versions (e.g. r100281 to 102570), the following command shows which versions apply to the present SVN folders at all: cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3 sudo svn log -r100281:102570 -q
After testing and verifying functionality, also update the production version (where "-r100100" indicates to update to revision 52502; this should always be the value of the tested revision from staging / test wiki!):
# Test for unwanted local changes:
cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; sudo svn status phase3 extensions;
# If necessary, reset any unwanted local changes:
## cd /usr/share/mediawiki/; sudo svn revert -R phase3 extensions;
# restore modified icons reverted above:
sudo cp /usr/share/mediawikistaging/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/skins/images/smw_button.png ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/skins/images/
sudo cp /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/skins/common/images/poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png ./phase3/skins/common/images/
# MAIN UPDATING:
cd /usr/share/mediawiki; sudo svn update phase3 extensions # if version then: -r100100
## MORE CAREFUL WITH EXT-TRUNK:
## cd /usr/share/mediawiki; sudo svn update ext-trunk # if version then: -r100100
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful
## ext-LOCAL-svn is usually not necessary, because of automatic svn push
## Updating ext-tagged-release not necessary, extensions in tagged releases don't change
## to check whether tagged extensions have new versions, go to
## http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/
## If a tagged extension has to be updated, follow the following pattern:
cd /usr/share/mediawiki/ext-tagged-release
sudo svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/AdminLinks/REL_0_1_5 AdminLinks

sudo svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/Widgets/REL_0_9_2 Widgets

## sudo chgrp www-data compiled_templates; sudo chmod g+w compiled_templates
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful
Update, runJobs, rebuildFileCache, refreshMetadata scripts
Occasionally version upgrades of Mediawiki require an upgrade of the database structures. Again, the update.php must be called with symlink-compatible syntax. Examples for mediawiki core and titlekey extension:
cd /var/www/metawiki; sudo php ./maintenance/update.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/studienstiftungswiki; sudo php ./maintenance/update.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php

Switching targets of symbolic links
Old symbolic links can be deleted interactively by prompting on each remove and set anew as follows (example extension SemanticResultFormats):
cd /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/extensions
sudo rm -i SemanticResultFormats; sudo ln -s ../../extensions2/SemanticResultFormats
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful
To document those links, a small bash script create_sorted_extension_list.sh located in both extension folders creates a dated log file sorted by links (the script asks before start logging). It can be started by something like that:
./create_sorted_extension_list.sh
Create sorted extension list (y/n)
Adding a new directory link
Occasionally new directories directly in /phase3/ are introduced by mediawiki.org with version upgrades. New symbolic links need to be created:
# root wiki from staging:
cd /var/www/testwiki/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/wiki-template-staging/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/resources/ resources
# root wikis from normal:
cd /var/www/metawiki/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/studienstiftungswiki/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/wiki-template/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
# virtual servers
cd /var/www/v-ispi/w/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-k2n/w/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources

cd /var/www/v-phytomed/w/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-phytopathology/w; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-plantnet/terms/e; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-plantnet/terms/f; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-plantnet/uses/e; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-plantnet/uses/f; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
cd /var/www/v-rosaceae/w; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources

cd /var/www/v-workbench/w/; sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/resources/ resources
(To remove links one may use the interactive option rm -i
, but one must confirm each single file.)
General topics
MediaWiki configuration tips
Configuring MediaWiki:Sidebar: New options July 2008, see [2]
It may be useful to copy the contents of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css into the Mediawiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css pages of each Wiki where you may want to use copied things e.g. templates from wikipedia.
File uploading and Mime types
Uploading files with extensions and Content types (MIME types) usually not allowed on wikis:
The default of normally allowed extensions is listed $wgFileExtensions
in /includes/DefaultSettings.php (which should never be edited). To allow
additional extensions override $wgFileExtensions
in LocalSettings.php.
There are also $wgMimeTypeBlacklist and $wgFileBlacklist for file extensions and MIME types that are never allowed for security reasons, even if added to $wgFileExtensions
. If needed for special purposes and considered safe, they can be commented out in these blacklists in LocalSettings.php.
If there is still the error message "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again", the reason can be that the file you want to upload has a MIME type for which only certain file extensions are allowed in /includes/mime.types and has an extension not listed there. If considered safe, the extension can be added in that file. The mime type can be determined with the command file -i filename
. Note: Files that are changed manually are then excluded from svn update. To drop own changes and get back to the svn version delete the file and then run svn update (see above).
Logging/Debugging
For debugging, you may enable logging of debug and error messages:
# create a log-file somewhere
sudo touch /var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt
# edit LocalSettings.php and add the following line after the line including the DefaultSettings.php:
$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt";
Note, that the logfile will grow fast, so one should switch on the logging only for short periods of time, and delete the logfile after done.
PHP debugging can be doen with xdebug. Details see Mediawiki debugging.
Backup/Restore in general
Backing up the database alone is documented here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki. A more complete script can be found here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Flominator/Backup_MW - this also backups the folder with uploads (media). Based on that source, adapted scripts were created, execute as:
cd /var/backups/scripts/; ./backup-mw.sh
The additional backup-mw.php script can potentially be used within www to directly create and download a copy of the mediawiki. We are considering this as a measure to build trust.
In addition, to create an xml dump, make sure a link to AdminSettings.php exists in the current wiki folder and the maintenance folder is temporarily copied, then run, e.g.:
cd /var/www/v-on/w; sudo php ./maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full --conf ./LocalSettings.php > /var/www/v-orowiki/w/media/full.xml
To restore such a xml-dump, remove tables and create new tables with default values in mysql, then:
cd /var/www/WIKINAME; # (replace path with actual wiki path!)
php ./maintenance/importDump.php /var/backups/wikis/k2n-full.xml --conf ./LocalSettings.php
php ./maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php # absolutely necessary
## If backlinks etc. do not work, or extensions had to be disabled, use (Very slow!!!!):
php ./maintenance/rebuildall.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Notes: In our experience, some extensions may create problems during reimport. We found GoogleMaps and DynamicPageList to cause importDump to abort. After disabling these two extensions, the import worked correctly. However, all DPL pages are then still cached without proper DPL rendering even after re-enabling both extensions. Running rebuildall.php fixed this.
Example restore for testing of the wikimediafoundation commons xml-dump:
cd /var/www/wmf-commons; php ./maintenance/importDump.php /mnt/wpTest/commonswiki-pages-articles.xml --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Refresh SemanticMW data
If it becomes necessary to delete all SMW data in a particular wiki and regenerate the data again from the individual pages the following command lines can be used:
cd /var/www/WIKINAME; # (replace path with actual wiki path!)
php ./maintenance/runJobs.php -v --procs 4 --conf ./LocalSettings.php
php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php -ftpv --conf ./LocalSettings.php
php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php -v --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Notes:
- change to the local directory of the wiki to be refreshed,
- make sure all outstanding jobs are completed,
- delete all SMW data,
- regenerate the data from the individual pages.
The last step can take some time (e.g. about 10 minutes to refresh about 4000 IDs). The wiki seems to work normally during that time but queries may be effected. For that reason it is recommended to implement this operation during a maintenance window.
During step 4 the procedure slows down after about 5 min. and can be sped up by:
- interrupting the procedure by using Crtl-C
- restarting the last command by specifying the next ID to be processed, e.g.
php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php -v -s 2062 --conf ./LocalSettings.php
if 2061 IDs had been already processed at the time of the interruption.
