Created page with "=a2Hosting MediaWiki Environment= ==Tests and Lessons in 2021== ===4 June=== right|r-mode image (300 x 225 px) I successfully uploaded the "r-..."

New page

=a2Hosting MediaWiki Environment=

==Tests and Lessons in 2021==
===4 June===

[[File:RmodeHBookImage3.png|right|r-mode image (300 x 225 px)]]

I successfully uploaded the "r-mode image" — shown here, on the right — from my Mac to the a2Hosting file system.
<ol>
<li>I pointed my browser to the URL: Tohline.education/SelfGravitatingFluids; this opened the "Main Page" of my MediaWiki app</li>
<li>I logged into the MediaWiki site; as a result, the "Upload file" link was added to the left-hand menu</li>
<li>Clicking on this "Upload file" link, a familiar MediaWiki page opened; it allowed me to upload a selected r-mode image from my Mac</li>
<li>From the a2Hosting's cPanel, I double-clicked on the "File Manager"; I located the file under public_html/SelfGravitatingFluids/images/3/3b</li>
</ol>

===5 June===
I found [https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_change_my_mediawiki_logo_image/ this URL] useful as I attempted to change my MediaWiki Logo image.

Via a cPanel-Terminal session, I changed directory to "~/public_html/SelfGravitatingFluids" and …
<ol>
<li>Found index.php; its contents were not immediately useful.</li>
<li>Found LocalSettings.php
<ol type="a">
<li>$wgServer = "https://tohline.education"</li>
<li>$wgScriptPath = "/SelfGravitatingFluids"</li>
<li>$wgResourceBasePath = $wgScriptPath</li>
<li>$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png" ];</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

I realized that, when using the cPanel-File_Manager, I must click on the **name** (e.g., SelfGravitatingFluids) of a directory folder as well as the tiny folder icon in order to see all of the directory's files and sub-directories.

[[File:RmodeImage5big.png|right|200px|r-mode image (300 x 300 px)]]

I successfully uploaded the "r-mode image" — shown here, on the right — from my Mac to the a2Hosting file system.

<ol>
<li>It is 135 x 135 pixels, which is the size used for the replacement MediaWiki Logo; actually, what is displayed here is a 300 x 300 pixel image.</li>
<li>From the a2Hosting's cPanel, I double-clicked on the "File Manager"; I located the file under public_html/SelfGravitatingFluids/images/8/8b; actually, the displayed image is in ~/images/9/97</li>
<li>Now, let's try opening the LocalSettings.php file and changing the $wgLogos specification to read: $wgLogos = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/images/8/8a/RmodeHBookImage6.png" ];</li>
<li>That did not work, but the following did: $wgLogos = [ '1x' => "images/8/8a/RmodeHBookImage6.png" ];</li>
<li>I added the "Self-Gravitating Fluids" label to the same image, then repeated the above-enumerated upload steps. Now the appropriate Logo can be found at the following location: $wgLogos = [ '1x' => "images/d/d3/RmodeImage8.png" ];</li>
</ol>

Where do new MediaWiki pages get stored?
<ol>
<li>Looks like one ''test'' example is at: ~/www/SelfGravitatingFluids/tests/phpunit/includes/page/</li>
<li>Perhaps the real thing is at: ~/www/SelfGravitatingFluids/includes/page/</li>
<li>Even more likely to be useful: ~/www/SelfGravitatingFluids/includes/content/ 
88% into ''TextContent.php'' … "Generates an HTML version of the content, for display. Used by fillParserOutput() to provide HTML for the ParserOutput object."
</li>
</ol>

===8 June===
SSH and SFTP.
<ol>
<li>After reading [https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/getting-started-guide/accessing-your-account/using-ssh-secure-shell this document], I learned how — from my iMac — to log into the a2Hosting linux servers via a secure shell (SSH; port 7822) session.</li>
<li>After reading [https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/getting-started-guide/accessing-your-account/using-ftp-with-linux-hosting-accounts a separate document], I followed a2Hosting's advice and installed [https://filezilla-project.org/download.php FileZilla] on my iMac. This allows me — via a very pleasant "windowed" interface — to establish and use SFTP to transfer files from the iMac to my account on a2Hosting servers.</li>
</ol>

Contemplate installation of "Math" extension.
<ol>
<li>Consider reading www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings</li>
<li>Steps drawn from: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#Installation Extension:Math#Installation]
<ul>
<li>Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Math in your extensions/ folder.</li>
<li>Add the following code at the bottom of your ~/SelfGravitatingFluids/LocalSettings.php:
<ul>
<li>wfLoadExtension( 'Math' );</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
