Could you elaborate on your problems? I am a MediaWiki user.

Any recent MediaWiki deployers on the list? For many years, I have operated many old MoinMoin (Python) wikis on many old distros. MoinMoin isn't getting much maintenance attention, while Python is evolving beyond compatibility with MoinMoin code. MediaWiki (PHP), the engine underneath Wikipedia, currently has the majority share of new wiki deployments, and is actively (perhaps TOO actively) maintained and enhanced. So, I hope to "futureproof" my wikis by converting them to MediaWiki. There are cheesy scripts for that. As I write this, I have not yet successfully configured a functional MediaWiki instance. There are many tutorials online about that, but most are years out of date. For example, procedures for setting up mysql, rather than the current mariaDB. I'm probably not asking the right questions or looking at the best tutorial websites. IF YOU HAVE SET UP MEDIAWIKI RECENTLY, CAN YOU POINT ME AT GOOD /RECENT/ TUTORIALS? Perhaps the most useful thing would be an "ls -lR" listing of the files and programs and libraries used by a recent implementation of MediaWiki, so I know what files are supposed to be there, permissions and ownerships and sizes. And yes, I will sign an NDA if necessary, and can even offer boilerplate forms for that. Keith L. P.S.; I know there are rental MediaWikiFarms, but I hope to continue integrating my wikis with legacy html pages and online executables. MediaWiki has many extensions that might help with this.
