uniKB Administration Guide

Overview

This page describes the configuration of this wiki. uniKB, as with any other MediaWiki-based site, is a customized installation based on open-source software. This page is dedicated to outlining in detail these custom changes from the default configuration so that the wiki can be administered by any system administrator familiar with Apache/MySQL/PHP.

Installation

The uniKB wiki runs on top of Apache/MySQL/PHP. These are all open-source software and available to use for both personal and commercial use. They do not come with commercial support (except for MySQL, which has a commercial option i.e. the software is based on the same source code but comes with paid support), and are community-maintained. As such, there is no default way to install these programs.
