Installing MediaWiki on Reaper

A short story, as written by seth.

Mostly in note form so I can work out what I've done at a later date.

Zone Installation

create the db zone

reaper:~# zonecfg -z db
db: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:db> create
zonecfg:db> set zonepath=/zones/zone_roots/db
zonecfg:db> add net
zonecfg:db:net> set address=193.62.81.38
zonecfg:db:net> 
zonecfg:db:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:db:net> end
zonecfg:db> commit
zonecfg:db> exit


reaper:~# zoneadm -z db install

FIXME: set zone to autoboot

Set up MySQL

(from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Solaris_10)

# /usr/sfw/bin/mysql_install_db
# groupadd mysql

# useradd -g mysql -d /var/mysql mysql
# chgrp -R mysql /var/mysql
# chmod -R 770 /var/mysql

# /usr/sfw/sbin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

FIXME - fix security settings

WEBSERVER

zonecfg:www:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:www:net> end
zonecfg:www> commit
zonecfg:www> exit

add /usr/apache as a lofs thingy FIXME - DOCUMENT THIS cp reapers version into shared dir

reaper:~# zoneadm -z www boot && zlogin -e] -C www
[Connected to zone 'www' console]
Hostname: www

then installation begins:

Answers to questions pretty much the same as the previous zone.

and then off we go!

create a user account:

# svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
# chmod 755 /home
# useradd -m -d /home/username -s /bin/bash/ username
# passwd seth

scp config files from reaper (saves time) reaper# scp /etc/profile /etc/default/login /etc/default/su user@newhost

drop them into place on the new system (ssh in with user account, then su to root)

you may also wish to change root's shell and homedir (in /etc/passwd)

logout, log back in.... voila!

install the php package (sun url)

PATCH LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER

run x_postinstall

edit the apache config file:

use vhosts
serve index.php as an index
set hostname, email etc

there are links to this stuff on the web, google for SAMP stack, etc FIXME: refind those links

WIKI

Installation
