The .sql scripts in this directory are not intended to be run standalone,
|
|
although this is appropriate in some cases, e.g. manual creation of blank tables
|
|
prior to an import.
|
|
|
|
Most of the PHP scripts need to be run from the command line. Prior to doing so,
|
|
ensure that the LocalSettings.php file in the directory above points to the
|
|
proper installation.
|
|
|
|
Certain scripts will require elevated access to the database. In order to
|
|
provide this, first create a MySQL user with "all" permissions on the wiki
|
|
database, and then set $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword in your
|
|
LocalSettings.php
|
|
|
|
=== Brief explanation of files ===
|
|
|
|
A lot of the files in this directory are PHP scripts used to perform various
|
|
maintenance tasks on the wiki database, e.g. rebuilding link tables, updating
|
|
the search indices, etc. The files in the "archives" directory are used to
|
|
upgrade the database schema when updating the software. Some schema definitions
|
|
for alternative (as yet unsupported) database management systems are stored
|
|
here too.
|
|
|
|
The "storage" directory contains scripts and resources useful for working with
|
|
external storage clusters, and are not likely to be particularly useful to the
|
|
vast majority of installations. This directory does contain the compressOld
|
|
scripts, however, which can be useful for compacting old data.
|
|
|
|
=== Maintenance scripts ===
|
|
|
|
As noted above, these should be run from the command line. Not all scripts are
|
|
listed, as some are Wikimedia-specific, and some are not applicable to most
|
|
installations.
