mw docker mediawiki install

Installs a new MediaWiki site using install.php & update.php

Synopsis

MediaWiki Install

Installs a new MediaWiki site using MediaWiki maintenance scripts: - install.php - update.php

The sequence of actions is as follows: 1) Ensure we know where MediaWiki is installed 2) Ensure a LocalSettings.php file exists with the shim needed by this development environment 3) Ensure composer dependencies are up to date, or run composer install & composer update 4) Move LocalSettings.php to a temporary location, as MediaWiki can’t install with it present 5) Wait for any needed databases to be ready 6) Run install.php 7) Move LocalSettings.php back 8) Run update.php

Manual installation

You can also run install.php and update.php manually, if you wish.
