Prerequisites to Deploy MediaWiki

To host MediaWiki, you need to install the OpenSolaris 2008.05 OS that you can download from the OpenSolaris web site. You must have the following web stack components set up in the OpenSolaris OS that you have installed:

• Web Server — To host MediaWiki and listen to the server's request from the browser,

• MySQL — To store the web pages,

• PHP — To receive dynamic web content,

  PHP is a scripting language that can run on any web server. MediaWiki requires PHP at least version 5 or later.
