<div>This site is mainly a collection of my own meanderings and interests (of course it would be, it's my site). If you're lost, I suggest checking out either the [[Special:Categories|Categories]] or [[Special:Contributions/Rabbi_Bob|My Contributions]] page to see if there really is anything of interest for you at all here.<br />
<br><br><br />
If you were looking for MikeBeane.com, you've found that as well. I can't be bothered to update two sites, so both domains point to the same place on the web. It's just another spot....<br />

<hr />
<div>=Purpose=<br />
Awhile ago I started a project called "[[Atlashl|AtlasHL]]" and today while I was sick I decided to go back and look at some of the scripting I had done two years ago. Without too much detail, I did today in two hours what I did in about two months back then.<br />
<br />
I'm not a Regex Guru by any stretch of the imagination and while there are better ways to do what I'm doing, I do actually have some reasons for breaking some specific log lines the way I do. Someday I'll learn efficiency, but for right now, I'm going through this in the worst way possible: stepped if/elsif statements until the end.<br />
<br />
==Current Status==<br />
# Generally just bashing lines through the regex. After I get through all of the logs I have, I'll look at categorizing a little better (and condensing some lines).<br />
# Current ratio:<br />
## 10,972 logs<br />
## 114 unmatched lines (mostly repetitive)<br />
## 2,619,859 matched lines<br />
<br />
=References=<br />
#http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/HL_Log_Standard#054._Team_Selection<br />
<br />
The HL Log Standard appears to be a little long in the tooth and hasn't been really updated and the adhering to it is loose at best depending on what game you're looking at. Tthis is my opinion, but I have nearly 100 thousand logs from various games & mods to back this up with.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Purpose=<br />
Awhile ago I started a project called "[[Atlashl|AtlasHL]]" and today while I was sick I decided to go back and look at some of the scripting I had done two years ago. Without too much detail, I did today in two hours what I did in about two months back then.<br />
<br />
I'm not a Regex Guru by any stretch of the imagination and while there are better ways to do what I'm doing, I do actually have some reasons for breaking some specific log lines the way I do. Someday I'll learn efficiency, but for right now, I'm going through this in the worst way possible: stepped if/elsif statements until the end.<br />
<br />
==Current Status==<br />
# Generally just bashing lines through the regex. After I get through all of the logs I have, I'll look at categorizing a little better (and condensing some lines).<br />
# Current ratio:<br />
## 10,972 logs<br />
## 114 unmatched lines (mostly repetitive)<br />
## 2,619,859 matched lines<br />
<br />
=References=<br />
#http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/HL_Log_Standard#054._Team_Selection<br />
<br />
The HL Log Standard appears to be a little long in the tooth and hasn't been really updated and the adhering to it is loose at best depending on what game you're looking at. Tthis is my opinion, but I have nearly 100 thousand logs from various games & mods to back this up with.<br />

''By Morning Sentinel staff''<br />
<br />
Kennebec Journal, Morning Sentinel <br />

01/22/2008<br />
<br />
<br />
Living in Maine is costing Michael Beane money, and he knows it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a couple of hundred miles south of his Newport home, Beane's friends in Boston earn almost twice the money in jobs similar to Beane's position as a systems analyst at Pittsfield's Sebasticook Valley Hospital.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yet, when he and his wife, Fiona, reflect on what their two children are getting out of growing up in his home state of Maine, Beane knows his fortune is being invested in the future. "Maine has a comfortable, constant speed to it," Beane said. "Some places just seem to be fast for the sake of being fast, and that doesn't sit well with me. It's not that I can't navigate the big city and stay there. It's just that I don't want to."<br />
<br />
<br />
A Benton native, Beane, 33, graduated from Lawrence High School in Fairfield in 1992. He had the grades for college, but the idea held no appeal. "I didn't really prepare myself in high school to go to college," Beane said. "I'm a path of least resistance kind of guy."<br />
<br />
<br />
Beane looked to the Navy for direction. He headed to basic training in San Diego in 1993 believing he would never return to Maine for more than family visits.<br />
<br />
"I left here February 21st of 1993," Beane recalled. "If you look at the weather that day we had the most snow we'd had in years. I was happy to be going."<br />
<br />
The Navy allowed Beane to pick a school after he graduated from basic training in the top 5 percent of his class. The southern California life agreed with him, so Beane spent another year in San Diego learning to be a sonar technician.<br />
<br />
<br />
"I picked night classes so I got to get up in the morning and go to the beach," Beane said. "Life was good." Beane again graduated near the top of his class, and the Navy again allowed him to pick his assignment. His superiors were stunned when Beane decided to return to Maine to serve at a duty station as the destroyer USS Laboon was being built at Bath Iron Works. "The Navy brought me back to Maine," Beane said. "The other choice was Corpus Christi, Texas. I think 107 was the average temperature down there. For a lot of reasons it was a no-brainer for me to come home."<br />
<br />
<br />
Beane spent a year living in a hotel in Brunswick. He drove to Benton to visit his family just about every weekend, but for the most part Beane was seeing Maine as an adult for the first time. "When I came back with the Navy I saw Maine from a different perspective," Beane said. Beane spent the last 18 months of his service in the Laboon's home port in Virginia and six months traveling the waters around Crete, Morocco and the Persian Gulf, where in September 1996, the Laboon launched its missiles in support of Operation Desert Strike. Beane was ready to leave the Navy when his commitment was up in 1997.<br />
<br />
<br />
"I didn't hate the Navy," he said. "I was just kind of done with it."<br />
<br />
<br />
At 23, Beane decided to head home to Maine again. He spent two-plus years at the University of Maine at Orono -- where he met Fiona -- studying computer science, before transferring to Eastern Maine Technical College in Bangor (now Eastern Maine Community College). He graduated with an associate's degree in computer networking in 2002. Beane took a job as a service manager for a small Bangor company, Automated Business Concepts, just before graduation. The company sent Beane and his new wife, Fiona, to Manchester, N.H., where they stayed for almost a year.<br />
<br />
<br />
As it had before, Maine beckoned. When Fiona became pregnant with the couple's first child Beane requested a transfer back to Bangor and, in 2003, the Beanes returned home for good. "It was really the pull of family," Beane said. "That was the catalyst to come back." Beane took a job at the hospital in 2004, the same year the baby was born, and they purchased their first home, in Newport. Beane has no regrets about living in Maine, but he acknowledges it is not easy. Jobs do not pay as much and there is a dearth of industry to buoy the economy as a whole.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Beanes were committed to Fiona staying home to care for their children but she has recently returned to work to help with the family's budget. "We're seeing the cost of heating fuel and now gasoline (stressing) family budgets, and the effects on the local economies are noticeable," Beane said. "We've seen work that was done in the state for quite some time now go elsewhere, resulting in closures and job losses, which has put a strain on the state and the people who live here." <br />
<br />
<br />
The same thing that makes Maine so appealing as a place to live could also save it, Beane believes. "I wish the state could find a good way to attract business back into the state by exploiting what we're rich in: people who perform quality, hard work," Beane said. Beane hopes his family will always be able to stay in Maine. With both his and Fiona's extended families so close it is nearly an ideal situation, he said. "I can't come up with any good reasons to leave that are good life decisions," Beane said. "I'm in a fairly stable industry in a position that I am both happy and thankful for, working in a place with great people, living in an area with equally great people. I'm very go-with-the-flow about things and, well, the flow is good here."<br />

[[Category:Family]]</div>Rabbi Bobhttps://www.rabbibob.com/index.php?title=Mediawiki_1.43_from_1.39&diff=2043Mediawiki 1.43 from 1.392026-08-27T10:40:27Z<p>Rabbi Bob: /* Background */</p>
<hr />
<div>=Things to Look At=<br />
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList (consider replacing Intersection with this)<br />
=Background=<br />
This was a WhatIf page to map out 1.39 to 1.43 with a thought of waiting until November for 1.47 LTS... but I went for it this past week.<br><br><br />
<br />
=LTS=<br />
Note: To upgrade MediaWiki, you can upgrade from the two most recent Long Term Support (LTS) versions directly. If you are using an older version, you must first upgrade to one of the two latest LTS versions before proceeding to the latest version.<br />
<br />
=The Path=<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Version !! MySQL !! PHP !! Jumps !! Status !! Notes <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.39.5 LTS || MySQL 8.0.46 || PHP 8.1.2 || 0 || Current || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.43 LTS || MySQL 5.7.0+ (good) || PHP 8.1.0+ (good) || 1 || Could do now || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.47 LTS || MySQL 5.7.0+ (good) || PHP 8.3.0+ '''(need to update)''' || 2 || || <br />
|}<br />
<br />
=The Process=<br />
The last few times I've done this I have been honing in on 'what is the basic approach to updating Mediawiki?' and I think I'm there now.<br />
==Naming==<br />
# Create the databases with the wiki version in the name. End it with _139 or something.<br />
# Create the site directories in the same fashion. Use symlinks for the actual "public" name.<br />
## example: rabbibob\->rabbibob_139\<br><br><br />
<br />
I started doing this so updates were more agile. When I want to go to 143, I can create rabbibob_143\ and use that as a fresh area to configure, then shift the symlink when it is all done. Copying the db from the _139 into a new _143 is the other key. Editing LocalSettings.php allows for the ability to do this. The limitation is if php or mysql requirements don't allow to the older or the new version to cohabitate.<br />
<br />
==Mediawiki==<br />
# Know the requirements for where you are and where you need to get to in regards to MySQL and PHP requiremnts.<br />
#* Sometimes a major revision upgrade of the OS carries these with them and it might be worth updating the OS or starting a fresh install<br />
# BACK THINGS UP <br />
# List your extensions (go to the Special:Version page, copy that page out to a Google Sheet so the links are intact)<br />
# Create a new database_### and import the previous version db into that<br />
# Create a new html dir mediawiki_### and import the target mediawiki into that<br />
# Copy LocalSettings.php into the new dir from the old dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
## Update the following with temporary values<br />
##* $wgScriptPath<br />
##* $wgServer<br />
## Comment out all of the extensions<br />
## Set the skin to one that comes stock<br />
# run php maintenance\update.php from the command line<br />
# Copy the images/ directory from the old install<br />
# Update file permissions as needed during testing<br />
# Work through the extensions<br />
#* It is worth curating the extensions so you know what is custom and came with the new update<br />
#* Comment out any that you are not using<br />
#* Add ## or #! for ones that crash MW<br />
# Work through the skins<br />
# When everything is working, set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
#* $wgScriptPath<br />
#* $wgServer<br />
===Clean Up Thoughts===<br />
* Set up your backups if exporting the db and backing up the html directories.<br />
<br />
=OLD NOTES BELOW=<br />
==Requirements==<br />
Required software as of MediaWiki 1.47.0:<br />
<br />
* Web server with PHP 8.3.0 or higher, plus the following extensions:<br />
** ctype<br />
** dom<br />
** fileinfo<br />
** iconv<br />
** intl<br />
** libxml<br />
** mbstring<br />
** openssl<br />
** xml<br />
** xmlreader<br />
* A SQL server, the following types are supported<br />
** MariaDB 10.11 or higher<br />
** MySQL 5.7.0 or higher<br />
** PostgreSQL 10 or higher<br />
** SQLite 3.31.0 or higher<br />
<br />
=June Notes=<br />
==PHP 8.4==<br />
* This can be done prior to the major jump as 1.39 supports 8.4<br />
===Steps===<br />
* dpkg -l | grep php<br />
* sudo apt-get install php8.4<br />
* sudo apt install php8.4-cli php8.4-common php8.4-mysql php8.4-zip php8.4-gd php8.4-mbstring php8.4-curl php8.4-xml php8.4-bcmath<br />
* sudo apt install php8.4-redis php8.4-pcov php8.4-imagick php8.4-intl<br />
* dpkg -l | grep php<br />
* sudo update-alternatives --config php<br />
* php -v<br />
* sudo a2dismod php7.4 9<br />
* sudo a2enmod php8.4<br />
* sudo systemctl restart apache2<br />
* Check wiki version, should be at 8.4.x<br />
==MySQL==<br />
# copy the existing db into a new db_1.43<br />
# set permissions<br />
<br />
==Mediawiki Files==<br />
# Make a list of the extensions...<br />
# sudo mkdir it-wiki-1.43<br />
# chown it:www-data it-wiki-1.43<br />
# upload new files to 1.43<br />
# cp /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/LocalSettings.php /var/www/html/wiki-1.43<br />
# cp -r /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/images/ /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/<br />
# set permissions<br />
#* sudo chown -R it:www-data /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
#* sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
# edit LocalSettings.php to reflect url path for testing<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
# change the db to 143<br />
# set the skin to vector (shut off foreground)<br />
# disable extensions<br />
# Test<br />
# sort out extensions and cleanup LocalSettings.php<br />
<br />
===Changeover===<br />
After testing...<br />
# Set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=The Approach=<br />
* ALL THIS STUFF IS FROM THE LAST PAGE, REVAMP IT!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Prepping the Databases==<br />
# Backup the MW databases<br />
# Find my Google sheet with notes<br />
# Tally the extensions in use and find out what is still being maintained.<br />
#* From the old sites I made copy of the Extensions that were installed via the Special:Version page<br />
# Upgrade MySQL<br />
# Upgrade PHP<br />
* I installed the lowest version of MediaWiki I required and verified it worked.<br />
** I then pulled in a backup of my two wiki sites<br />
** I imported images/ from the same site<br />
** I pointed mediawiki (via localsettings.php) at one of the databases<br />
*** Ran maintenance/update.php --force<br />
** Verified that the information loaded in the new site<br />
* NOTE: I entirely ignored Skins and Extensions.<br />
* Repeated for Site #2<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Eventually I had two working MW databases at 1.39<br />
==New Ubuntu Server==<br />
* I created a new Ubuntu 22.04 server and on this one, I took the time to set up various security related items.<br />
* I opted to put<br />
** MySQL at 8.0.35-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 <br />
** php at 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 (apache2handler)<br />
* Installed apache2, created a new MW1.39LTS site to verify it ran under the new software.<br />
* From there, I imported the two site databases, copied the 1.39 directory to two separate directories, set up MW, imported images and all was good.<br />
==Extensions and Skins==<br />
* The Skin was freshly installed from the latest version. Not much of an issue there.<br />
* This was a little more tedious: I matched up the default 1.39 extensions against the old site listings and then went looking to for the latest extensions.<br />
** Some extensions were still in production<br />
** Some were not<br />
* Fiddled until things were working. Had to fix some code for YouTube.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
* I tried this about seven months ago and I was attempting to update the extensions as I went: this was not the way to go. Getting the database updated was the key and ignoring everything else made that easier to do. All a wiki really is at the base is the information (database) and the images/... everything else is functionality.<br />

<div>== Installing and Configuring CirrusSearch with Elasticsearch ==<br />
<br />
Setting up '''CirrusSearch''' with Elasticsearch requires three main phases: installing the Elasticsearch cluster, downloading the required MediaWiki extensions (Elastica and CirrusSearch), and building the search index via MediaWiki maintenance scripts.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisites ===<br />
* '''MediaWiki 1.39+:''' Recommended Elasticsearch 7.10.2 (or OpenSearch 1.3+).<br />
* '''PHP:''' The PHP <code>cURL</code> extension must be enabled.<br />
* '''Composer:''' See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.<br />
* <font color="red">'''DATABASE NAMES MUST BE ALL LOWERCASE!'''</font><br />
<br />
====Composer Install====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt upgrade<br />
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip<br />
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"<br />
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Install & Start Elasticsearch ===<br />
Install Elasticsearch on your server (instructions below are for Ubuntu/Debian):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# Install Java runtime if not already installed<br />
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless<br />
<br />
# Install Elasticsearch 7.x<br />
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
<br />
# Enable and start the service<br />
sudo systemctl enable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To verify it is running on <code>localhost:9200</code>, test it in your terminal with <code>curl http://localhost:9200</code>.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Download the MediaWiki Extensions ===<br />
CirrusSearch depends on '''Extension:Elastica''' to serve as the PHP client bridge.<br />
<br />
# Navigate to your MediaWiki <code>extensions/</code> directory:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/extensions<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Download both Elastica and CirrusSearch (replace <code>REL1_39</code> with your MediaWiki branch version, e.g., <code>REL1_40</code>, <code>REL1_43</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Elastica<br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Install PHP Dependencies:''' If you cloned the extensions via Git, you must install the Composer dependencies inside both extension folders:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd Elastica && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
cd CirrusSearch && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Configure LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and add the following block at the bottom:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// 1. Load the required extensions<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// 2. Specify your Elasticsearch server location<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// 3. Temporarily disable search updates during bootstrapping<br />
$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Generate and Bootstrap the Search Index ===<br />
Run the maintenance scripts from your MediaWiki root directory to build and populate the Elasticsearch index.<br />
<br />
# '''Configure the index structure:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:UpdateSearchIndexConfig<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Re-enable live search updates:''' Go back into <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and '''remove or comment out''' the <code>$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;</code> line.<br />
<br />
# '''Populate the index with your wiki's page content:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipLinks --indexOnSkip<br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipParse<br />
php maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
<br />
# if the above fails out, the db may be too big in various aspects, give the command more memory:<br />
php -d memory_limit=1G maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Verify the indexes, this should show your db with count details. If 0, re-run the above commands again and re-test.<br />
curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"<br />
<br />
<br />
*: ''Note: For smaller wikis, running just <code>php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex</code> is usually sufficient.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 5: Switch MediaWiki to Use CirrusSearch ===<br />
Once indexing completes successfully, add the final setting to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to hand search queries over to Elasticsearch:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// Direct default search traffic to CirrusSearch<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Test a search query on your wiki's <code>Special:Search</code> page. Your results should now be powered by Elasticsearch!<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: LocalSettings.php Cleanup ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
## CUSTOM ELASTIC SEARCH<br />
// Force CirrusSearch overrides at the very end of LocalSettings.php<br />
# https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch/%2B/HEAD/docs/settings.txt<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// Ensure fallback to core MySQL is explicitly disabled for testing<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />
$wgCirrusSearchClusterOverrides = [<br />
'default' => [<br />
'replica' => '127.0.0.1'<br />
]<br />
];<br />
<br />
$wgJobRunRate = 0;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Logs====<br />
# Setup a log dir (probably should revisit this some day and do a proper rotation)<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mediawiki<br />
sudo chown it:it /var/log/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Log Rotate====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
/var/log/mediawiki/*.log {<br />
daily<br />
missingok<br />
rotate 14<br />
compress<br />
delaycompress<br />
notifempty<br />
create 640 www-data www-data<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute or every 5 minutes or ...<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo -u www-data crontab -e<br />
<br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=1G /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs >> /var/log/mediawiki/yourWebSite_runjobs.log 2>&1<br />
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=1G /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs >> /var/log/mediawiki/yourWebSite_runjobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Test====<br />
# Wait at least 1 minute before doing the checking<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo tail -f /var/log/mediawiki/YourWebSite_runjobs.log<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Reverting to the Default MediaWiki Search ==<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing issues with CirrusSearch or simply want to revert to MediaWiki's native MySQL/MariaDB database search, follow these steps to safely disable the extension.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Edit LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and locate the configuration block for CirrusSearch.<br />
<br />
You must remove or comment out the line that sets the search engine type, as well as the extension loading commands.<br />
<br />
Change this:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To this (commented out by adding <code>//</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
// $wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />

<div>== Installing and Configuring CirrusSearch with Elasticsearch ==<br />
<br />
Setting up '''CirrusSearch''' with Elasticsearch requires three main phases: installing the Elasticsearch cluster, downloading the required MediaWiki extensions (Elastica and CirrusSearch), and building the search index via MediaWiki maintenance scripts.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisites ===<br />
* '''MediaWiki 1.39+:''' Recommended Elasticsearch 7.10.2 (or OpenSearch 1.3+).<br />
* '''PHP:''' The PHP <code>cURL</code> extension must be enabled.<br />
* '''Composer:''' See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.<br />
* <font color="red">'''DATABASE NAMES MUST BE ALL LOWERCASE!'''</font><br />
<br />
====Composer Install====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt upgrade<br />
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip<br />
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"<br />
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Install & Start Elasticsearch ===<br />
Install Elasticsearch on your server (instructions below are for Ubuntu/Debian):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# Install Java runtime if not already installed<br />
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless<br />
<br />
# Install Elasticsearch 7.x<br />
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
<br />
# Enable and start the service<br />
sudo systemctl enable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To verify it is running on <code>localhost:9200</code>, test it in your terminal with <code>curl http://localhost:9200</code>.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Download the MediaWiki Extensions ===<br />
CirrusSearch depends on '''Extension:Elastica''' to serve as the PHP client bridge.<br />
<br />
# Navigate to your MediaWiki <code>extensions/</code> directory:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/extensions<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Download both Elastica and CirrusSearch (replace <code>REL1_39</code> with your MediaWiki branch version, e.g., <code>REL1_40</code>, <code>REL1_43</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Elastica<br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Install PHP Dependencies:''' If you cloned the extensions via Git, you must install the Composer dependencies inside both extension folders:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd Elastica && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
cd CirrusSearch && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Configure LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and add the following block at the bottom:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// 1. Load the required extensions<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// 2. Specify your Elasticsearch server location<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// 3. Temporarily disable search updates during bootstrapping<br />
$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Generate and Bootstrap the Search Index ===<br />
Run the maintenance scripts from your MediaWiki root directory to build and populate the Elasticsearch index.<br />
<br />
# '''Configure the index structure:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:UpdateSearchIndexConfig<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Re-enable live search updates:''' Go back into <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and '''remove or comment out''' the <code>$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;</code> line.<br />
<br />
# '''Populate the index with your wiki's page content:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipLinks --indexOnSkip<br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipParse<br />
php maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
<br />
# if the above fails out, the db may be too big in various aspects, give the command more memory:<br />
php -d memory_limit=1G maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Verify the indexes, this should show your db with count details. If 0, re-run the above commands again and re-test.<br />
curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"<br />
<br />
<br />
*: ''Note: For smaller wikis, running just <code>php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex</code> is usually sufficient.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 5: Switch MediaWiki to Use CirrusSearch ===<br />
Once indexing completes successfully, add the final setting to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to hand search queries over to Elasticsearch:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// Direct default search traffic to CirrusSearch<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Test a search query on your wiki's <code>Special:Search</code> page. Your results should now be powered by Elasticsearch!<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: LocalSettings.php Cleanup ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
## CUSTOM ELASTIC SEARCH<br />
// Force CirrusSearch overrides at the very end of LocalSettings.php<br />
# https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch/%2B/HEAD/docs/settings.txt<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// Ensure fallback to core MySQL is explicitly disabled for testing<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />
$wgCirrusSearchClusterOverrides = [<br />
'default' => [<br />
'replica' => '127.0.0.1'<br />
]<br />
];<br />
<br />
$wgJobRunRate = 0;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Logs====<br />
# Setup a log dir (probably should revisit this some day and do a proper rotation)<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mediawiki<br />
sudo chown it:it /var/log/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Log Rotate====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
/var/log/mediawiki/*.log {<br />
daily<br />

rotate 14<br />
compress<br />
delaycompress<br />
notifempty<br />
create 640 www-data www-data<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo -u www-data crontab -e<br />
<br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=1G /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs >> /var/log/mediawiki/yourWebSite_runjobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Test====<br />
# Wait at least 1 minute before doing the checking<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo tail -f /var/log/mediawiki/YourWebSite_runjobs.log<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Reverting to the Default MediaWiki Search ==<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing issues with CirrusSearch or simply want to revert to MediaWiki's native MySQL/MariaDB database search, follow these steps to safely disable the extension.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Edit LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and locate the configuration block for CirrusSearch.<br />
<br />
You must remove or comment out the line that sets the search engine type, as well as the extension loading commands.<br />
<br />
Change this:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To this (commented out by adding <code>//</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
// $wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
// $wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
*: ''Note: By removing <code>$wgSearchType</code>, MediaWiki automatically falls back to its default internal search engine.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Clear the MediaWiki Cache ===<br />
MediaWiki caches configuration settings. To ensure the wiki immediately recognizes that CirrusSearch has been disabled, purge the application cache from your terminal in the MediaWiki root directory:<br />

<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,<br />
Too full for sound and foam,<br />
When that which drew from out the boundless deep<br />
Turns again home.<br />

And may there be no sadness of farewell,<br />

Setting up '''CirrusSearch''' with Elasticsearch requires three main phases: installing the Elasticsearch cluster, downloading the required MediaWiki extensions (Elastica and CirrusSearch), and building the search index via MediaWiki maintenance scripts.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisites ===<br />
* '''MediaWiki 1.39+:''' Recommended Elasticsearch 7.10.2 (or OpenSearch 1.3+).<br />
* '''PHP:''' The PHP <code>cURL</code> extension must be enabled.<br />
* '''Composer:''' See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.<br />
* <font color="red">'''DATABASE NAMES MUST BE ALL LOWERCASE'''</font><br />
<br />
====Composer Install====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt upgrade<br />
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip<br />
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"<br />
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Install & Start Elasticsearch ===<br />
Install Elasticsearch on your server (instructions below are for Ubuntu/Debian):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# Install Java runtime if not already installed<br />
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless<br />
<br />
# Install Elasticsearch 7.x<br />
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
<br />
# Enable and start the service<br />
sudo systemctl enable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To verify it is running on <code>localhost:9200</code>, test it in your terminal with <code>curl http://localhost:9200</code>.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Download the MediaWiki Extensions ===<br />
CirrusSearch depends on '''Extension:Elastica''' to serve as the PHP client bridge.<br />
<br />
# Navigate to your MediaWiki <code>extensions/</code> directory:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/extensions<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Download both Elastica and CirrusSearch (replace <code>REL1_39</code> with your MediaWiki branch version, e.g., <code>REL1_40</code>, <code>REL1_43</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Elastica<br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Install PHP Dependencies:''' If you cloned the extensions via Git, you must install the Composer dependencies inside both extension folders:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd Elastica && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
cd CirrusSearch && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Configure LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and add the following block at the bottom:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// 1. Load the required extensions<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// 2. Specify your Elasticsearch server location<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// 3. Temporarily disable search updates during bootstrapping<br />
$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Generate and Bootstrap the Search Index ===<br />
Run the maintenance scripts from your MediaWiki root directory to build and populate the Elasticsearch index.<br />
<br />
# '''Configure the index structure:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:UpdateSearchIndexConfig<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Re-enable live search updates:''' Go back into <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and '''remove or comment out''' the <code>$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;</code> line.<br />
<br />
# '''Populate the index with your wiki's page content:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipLinks --indexOnSkip<br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipParse<br />
php maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
<br />
#if the above fails out, the db may be too big in various aspects, give the command more memory:<br />
php -d memory_limit=1G maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
*: ''Note: For smaller wikis, running just <code>php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex</code> is usually sufficient.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 5: Switch MediaWiki to Use CirrusSearch ===<br />
Once indexing completes successfully, add the final setting to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to hand search queries over to Elasticsearch:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// Direct default search traffic to CirrusSearch<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Test a search query on your wiki's <code>Special:Search</code> page. Your results should now be powered by Elasticsearch!<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: LocalSettings.php Cleanup ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
## CUSTOM ELASTIC SEARCH<br />
// Force CirrusSearch overrides at the very end of LocalSettings.php<br />
# https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch/%2B/HEAD/docs/settings.txt<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// Ensure fallback to core MySQL is explicitly disabled for testing<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />
$wgCirrusSearchClusterOverrides = [<br />
'default' => [<br />
'replica' => '127.0.0.1'<br />
]<br />
];<br />
<br />
$wgJobRunRate = 0;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Logs====<br />
# Setup a log dir (probably should revisit this some day and do a proper rotation)<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mediawiki<br />
sudo chown it:it /var/log/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Log Rotate====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
/var/log/mediawiki/*.log {<br />
daily<br />
missingok<br />
rotate 14<br />
compress<br />
delaycompress<br />
notifempty<br />
create 640 www-data www-data<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo -u www-data crontab -e<br />
<br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=1G /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs >> /var/log/mediawiki/yourWebSite_runjobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Test====<br />
# Wait at least 1 minute before doing the checking<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo tail -f /var/log/mediawiki/YourWebSite_runjobs.log<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Reverting to the Default MediaWiki Search ==<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing issues with CirrusSearch or simply want to revert to MediaWiki's native MySQL/MariaDB database search, follow these steps to safely disable the extension.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Edit LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and locate the configuration block for CirrusSearch.<br />
<br />
You must remove or comment out the line that sets the search engine type, as well as the extension loading commands.<br />
<br />
Change this:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To this (commented out by adding <code>//</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
// $wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
// $wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
*: ''Note: By removing <code>$wgSearchType</code>, MediaWiki automatically falls back to its default internal search engine.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Clear the MediaWiki Cache ===<br />
MediaWiki caches configuration settings. To ensure the wiki immediately recognizes that CirrusSearch has been disabled, purge the application cache from your terminal in the MediaWiki root directory:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php purgeCache<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Verify the Changes ===<br />
Go to your wiki in a web browser and try using the search bar. The results should now load using the standard MediaWiki search interface.<br />
<br />
=== Step 4: (Optional) Stop the Elasticsearch Service ===<br />
Elasticsearch consumes a significant amount of RAM (often 1GB+). If you do not plan to use it again or are permanently abandoning CirrusSearch, you should stop and disable the background service to free up your server resources:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo systemctl disable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
=== Step 5: Crontab ===<br />
# Edit out or remove the schedule crontab job.<br />

=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Logs====<br />
# Setup a log dir (probably should revisit this some day and do a proper rotation)<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mediawiki<br />
sudo chown it:it /var/log/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Log Rotate====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
/var/log/mediawiki/*.log {<br />

notifempty<br />
create 640 www-data www-data<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo -u www-data crontab -e<br />
<br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=1G /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs >> /var/log/mediawiki/yourWebSite_runjobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
====Test====<br />
# Wait at least 1 minute before doing the checking<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo tail -f /var/log/mediawiki/YourWebSite_runjobs.log<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Reverting to the Default MediaWiki Search ==<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing issues with CirrusSearch or simply want to revert to MediaWiki's native MySQL/MariaDB database search, follow these steps to safely disable the extension.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Edit LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and locate the configuration block for CirrusSearch.<br />
<br />
You must remove or comment out the line that sets the search engine type, as well as the extension loading commands.<br />
<br />
Change this:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To this (commented out by adding <code>//</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
// $wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
// $wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
*: ''Note: By removing <code>$wgSearchType</code>, MediaWiki automatically falls back to its default internal search engine.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Clear the MediaWiki Cache ===<br />
MediaWiki caches configuration settings. To ensure the wiki immediately recognizes that CirrusSearch has been disabled, purge the application cache from your terminal in the MediaWiki root directory:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php purgeCache<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Verify the Changes ===<br />
Go to your wiki in a web browser and try using the search bar. The results should now load using the standard MediaWiki search interface.<br />
<br />
=== Step 4: (Optional) Stop the Elasticsearch Service ===<br />
Elasticsearch consumes a significant amount of RAM (often 1GB+). If you do not plan to use it again or are permanently abandoning CirrusSearch, you should stop and disable the background service to free up your server resources:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo systemctl disable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
=== Step 5: Crontab ===<br />
# Edit out or remove the schedule crontab job.<br />

<div>== Installing and Configuring CirrusSearch with Elasticsearch ==<br />
<br />
Setting up '''CirrusSearch''' with Elasticsearch requires three main phases: installing the Elasticsearch cluster, downloading the required MediaWiki extensions (Elastica and CirrusSearch), and building the search index via MediaWiki maintenance scripts.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisites ===<br />
* '''MediaWiki 1.39+:''' Recommended Elasticsearch 7.10.2 (or OpenSearch 1.3+).<br />
* '''PHP:''' The PHP <code>cURL</code> extension must be enabled.<br />
* '''Composer:''' See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.<br />
* <font color="red">'''DATABASE NAMES MUST BE ALL LOWERCASE'''</font><br />
<br />
====Composer Install====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt upgrade<br />
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip<br />
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"<br />
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Install & Start Elasticsearch ===<br />
Install Elasticsearch on your server (instructions below are for Ubuntu/Debian):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# Install Java runtime if not already installed<br />
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless<br />
<br />
# Install Elasticsearch 7.x<br />
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
<br />
# Enable and start the service<br />
sudo systemctl enable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To verify it is running on <code>localhost:9200</code>, test it in your terminal with <code>curl http://localhost:9200</code>.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Download the MediaWiki Extensions ===<br />
CirrusSearch depends on '''Extension:Elastica''' to serve as the PHP client bridge.<br />
<br />
# Navigate to your MediaWiki <code>extensions/</code> directory:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/extensions<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Download both Elastica and CirrusSearch (replace <code>REL1_39</code> with your MediaWiki branch version, e.g., <code>REL1_40</code>, <code>REL1_43</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Elastica<br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Install PHP Dependencies:''' If you cloned the extensions via Git, you must install the Composer dependencies inside both extension folders:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd Elastica && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
cd CirrusSearch && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Configure LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and add the following block at the bottom:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// 1. Load the required extensions<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// 2. Specify your Elasticsearch server location<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// 3. Temporarily disable search updates during bootstrapping<br />
$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Generate and Bootstrap the Search Index ===<br />
Run the maintenance scripts from your MediaWiki root directory to build and populate the Elasticsearch index.<br />
<br />
# '''Configure the index structure:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:UpdateSearchIndexConfig<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Re-enable live search updates:''' Go back into <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and '''remove or comment out''' the <code>$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;</code> line.<br />
<br />
# '''Populate the index with your wiki's page content:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipLinks --indexOnSkip<br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipParse<br />
php maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
<br />
#if the above fails out, the db may be too big in various aspects, give the command more memory:<br />
php -d memory_limit=1G maintenance/run.php runJobs<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
*: ''Note: For smaller wikis, running just <code>php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex</code> is usually sufficient.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 5: Switch MediaWiki to Use CirrusSearch ===<br />
Once indexing completes successfully, add the final setting to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to hand search queries over to Elasticsearch:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// Direct default search traffic to CirrusSearch<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Test a search query on your wiki's <code>Special:Search</code> page. Your results should now be powered by Elasticsearch!<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: LocalSettings.php Cleanup ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
## CUSTOM ELASTIC SEARCH<br />
// Force CirrusSearch overrides at the very end of LocalSettings.php<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// Ensure fallback to core MySQL is explicitly disabled for testing<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
$wgCirrusSearchEnableDynamicHighlighter = false;<br />
<br />
<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />
$wgCirrusSearchClusterOverrides = [<br />
'default' => [<br />
'replica' => '127.0.0.1'<br />
]<br />
];<br />
<br />
$wgJobRunRate = 0;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs --maxtime=60 >> /var/log/mediawiki/runJobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />

<br />
=== Step 5: Switch MediaWiki to Use CirrusSearch ===<br />
Once indexing completes successfully, add the final setting to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to hand search queries over to Elasticsearch:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// Direct default search traffic to CirrusSearch<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Test a search query on your wiki's <code>Special:Search</code> page. Your results should now be powered by Elasticsearch!<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: LocalSettings.php Cleanup ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
## CUSTOM ELASTIC SEARCH<br />
// Force CirrusSearch overrides at the very end of LocalSettings.php<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />

$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />

<br />
$wgJobRunRate = 0;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 7: Setup Crontab Job ===<br />
====Job====<br />
# Establish a job that runs every minute<br />
# crontab -e<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/maintenance/run.php runJobs --maxtime=60 >> /var/log/mediawiki/runJobs.log 2>&1<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
====Logs====<br />
# Setup a log dir (probably should revisit this some day and do a proper rotation)<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mediawiki<br />
sudo chown it:it /var/log/mediawiki<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Reverting to the Default MediaWiki Search ==<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing issues with CirrusSearch or simply want to revert to MediaWiki's native MySQL/MariaDB database search, follow these steps to safely disable the extension.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Edit LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and locate the configuration block for CirrusSearch.<br />
<br />
You must remove or comment out the line that sets the search engine type, as well as the extension loading commands.<br />
<br />
Change this:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To this (commented out by adding <code>//</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
// wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
// $wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
// $wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
*: ''Note: By removing <code>$wgSearchType</code>, MediaWiki automatically falls back to its default internal search engine.''<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Clear the MediaWiki Cache ===<br />
MediaWiki caches configuration settings. To ensure the wiki immediately recognizes that CirrusSearch has been disabled, purge the application cache from your terminal in the MediaWiki root directory:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php purgeCache<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Verify the Changes ===<br />
Go to your wiki in a web browser and try using the search bar. The results should now load using the standard MediaWiki search interface.<br />
<br />
=== Step 4: (Optional) Stop the Elasticsearch Service ===<br />
Elasticsearch consumes a significant amount of RAM (often 1GB+). If you do not plan to use it again or are permanently abandoning CirrusSearch, you should stop and disable the background service to free up your server resources:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo systemctl disable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
=== Step 5: Crontab ===<br />
# Edit out or remove the schedule crontab job.<br />

<div>== Installing and Configuring CirrusSearch with Elasticsearch ==<br />
<br />
Setting up '''CirrusSearch''' with Elasticsearch requires three main phases: installing the Elasticsearch cluster, downloading the required MediaWiki extensions (Elastica and CirrusSearch), and building the search index via MediaWiki maintenance scripts.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisites ===<br />
* '''MediaWiki 1.39+:''' Recommended Elasticsearch 7.10.2 (or OpenSearch 1.3+).<br />
* '''PHP:''' The PHP <code>cURL</code> extension must be enabled.<br />
* '''Composer:''' See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.<br />
<br />
====Composer Install====<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt upgrade<br />
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip<br />
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"<br />
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Install & Start Elasticsearch ===<br />
Install Elasticsearch on your server (instructions below are for Ubuntu/Debian):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# Install Java runtime if not already installed<br />
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless<br />
<br />
# Install Elasticsearch 7.x<br />
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.10.2-amd64.deb<br />
<br />
# Enable and start the service<br />
sudo systemctl enable --now elasticsearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
To verify it is running on <code>localhost:9200</code>, test it in your terminal with <code>curl http://localhost:9200</code>.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: Download the MediaWiki Extensions ===<br />
CirrusSearch depends on '''Extension:Elastica''' to serve as the PHP client bridge.<br />
<br />
# Navigate to your MediaWiki <code>extensions/</code> directory:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd /var/www/html/<yourWebDir>/extensions<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# Download both Elastica and CirrusSearch (replace <code>REL1_39</code> with your MediaWiki branch version, e.g., <code>REL1_40</code>, <code>REL1_43</code>):<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Elastica<br />
git clone -b REL1_43 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Install PHP Dependencies:''' If you cloned the extensions via Git, you must install the Composer dependencies inside both extension folders:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
cd Elastica && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
cd CirrusSearch && composer config policy.advisories.block false && composer install --no-dev && cd ..<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Configure LocalSettings.php ===<br />
Open your <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file and add the following block at the bottom:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"><br />
// 1. Load the required extensions<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' );<br />
wfLoadExtension( 'CirrusSearch' );<br />
<br />
// 2. Specify your Elasticsearch server location<br />
$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ '127.0.0.1' ];<br />
<br />
// 3. Temporarily disable search updates during bootstrapping<br />
$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Generate and Bootstrap the Search Index ===<br />
Run the maintenance scripts from your MediaWiki root directory to build and populate the Elasticsearch index.<br />
<br />
# '''Configure the index structure:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:UpdateSearchIndexConfig<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
# '''Re-enable live search updates:''' Go back into <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and '''remove or comment out''' the <code>$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;</code> line.<br />
<br />
# '''Populate the index with your wiki's page content:'''<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipLinks --indexOnSkip<br />
php maintenance/run.php CirrusSearch:ForceSearchIndex --skipParse<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />

<br />
// Force exact database prefix matching for CirrusSearch<br />
$wgCirrusSearchClusterOverrides = [<br />

'replica' => '127.0.0.1'<br />
]<br />
];<br />
<br />
// Ensure fallback to core MySQL is explicitly disabled for testing<br />
$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';<br />
$wgCirrusSearchEnableDynamicHighlighter = false;<br />

Not an original script.<br />
=Usage=<br />
<pre> .\Test-IPRange-Threaded.ps1 -startIP "192.168.1.1" -endIP "192.168.1.50" </pre><br />
<br />

<br />
<SyntaxHighlight language="powershell" line><br />
# 10.101.50.70 255.255.0.0<br />
<#<br />
.SYNOPSIS<br />
Pings a range of IP addresses concurrently to check their online status.<br />
<br />
.DESCRIPTION<br />
This script takes a start IP address and an end IP address. It iterates through<br />
each IP address in the specified range (primarily designed for ranges within<br />
the same /24 subnet) and sends two ping requests to each IP concurrently<br />
using PowerShell runspaces for improved efficiency.<br />
<br />
- If an address responds to one or more pings, it's marked as "Online".<br />
- If an address does not respond to either ping, it's marked as "Offline".<br />
- Errors during a specific IP ping are marked as "Error".<br />
<br />
.PARAMETER startIP<br />
The starting IP address of the range (e.g., "192.168.1.1"). This is a mandatory parameter.<br />
<br />
.PARAMETER endIP<br />
The ending IP address of the range (e.g., "192.168.1.254"). This is a mandatory parameter.<br />
<br />
.PARAMETER ThrottleLimit<br />
The maximum number of concurrent ping operations. Default is 30.<br />
Adjust this based on your system's resources and network considerations.<br />
<br />
.EXAMPLE<br />
.\Test-IPRange-Threaded.ps1 -startIP "192.168.1.1" -endIP "192.168.1.50"<br />
<br />
This command will ping IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50 concurrently<br />
(using the default throttle limit), sending two pings to each and reporting their status.<br />
<br />
.EXAMPLE<br />
.\Test-IPRange-Threaded.ps1 -startIP "10.0.0.1" -endIP "10.0.0.254" -ThrottleLimit 50<br />
<br />
This command will ping IPs in the 10.0.0.x range with up to 50 concurrent operations.<br />
<br />
.NOTES<br />
- This script uses PowerShell Runspace Pools for threading, compatible with PowerShell 5.1+.<br />
- For PowerShell 7.0 and newer, ForEach-Object -Parallel offers a simpler syntax for parallel execution.<br />
- The script assumes the IP range is primarily within the same /24 subnet. It uses the first<br />
three octets of 'startIP' as the base network prefix.<br />
- If 'startIP' and 'endIP' have different network prefixes, a warning is displayed, and the scan<br />
proceeds using 'startIP's' network prefix.<br />
- To run this script:<br />
1. Save it as a .ps1 file (e.g., Test-IPRange-Threaded.ps1).<br />
2. Open PowerShell.<br />
3. Navigate to the directory where you saved the file.<br />
4. If needed, adjust your execution policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser<br />
5. Run: .\Test-IPRange-Threaded.ps1 -startIP "YOUR_START_IP" -endIP "YOUR_END_IP" [-ThrottleLimit DESIRED_NUMBER]<br />

|}<br />
<br />
=The Process=<br />
The last few times I've done this I have been honing in on 'what is the basic approach to updating Mediawiki?' and I think I'm there now.<br />
==Naming==<br />
# Create the databases with the wiki version in the name. End it with _139 or something.<br />
# Create the site directories in the same fashion. Use symlinks for the actual "public" name.<br />
## example: rabbibob\->rabbibob_139\<br><br><br />
<br />
I started doing this so updates were more agile. When I want to go to 143, I can create rabbibob_143\ and use that as a fresh area to configure, then shift the symlink when it is all done. Copying the db from the _139 into a new _143 is the other key. Editing LocalSettings.php allows for the ability to do this. The limitation is if php or mysql requirements don't allow to the older or the new version to cohabitate.<br />
<br />
==Mediawiki==<br />
# Know the requirements for where you are and where you need to get to in regards to MySQL and PHP requiremnts.<br />
#* Sometimes a major revision upgrade of the OS carries these with them and it might be worth updating the OS or starting a fresh install<br />
# BACK THINGS UP <br />
# List your extensions (go to the Special:Version page, copy that page out to a Google Sheet so the links are intact)<br />
# Create a new database_### and import the previous version db into that<br />
# Create a new html dir mediawiki_### and import the target mediawiki into that<br />
# Copy LocalSettings.php into the new dir from the old dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
## Update the following with temporary values<br />
##* $wgScriptPath<br />
##* $wgServer<br />
## Comment out all of the extensions<br />
## Set the skin to one that comes stock<br />
# run php maintenance\update.php from the command line<br />
# Copy the images/ directory from the old install<br />
# Update file permissions as needed during testing<br />
# Work through the extensions<br />
#* It is worth curating the extensions so you know what is custom and came with the new update<br />
#* Comment out any that you are not using<br />
#* Add ## or #! for ones that crash MW<br />
# Work through the skins<br />
# When everything is working, set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
#* $wgScriptPath<br />
#* $wgServer<br />
===Clean Up Thoughts===<br />
* Set up your backups if exporting the db and backing up the html directories.<br />
<br />
=OLD NOTES BELOW=<br />
==Requirements==<br />
Required software as of MediaWiki 1.47.0:<br />
<br />
* Web server with PHP 8.3.0 or higher, plus the following extensions:<br />
** ctype<br />
** dom<br />
** fileinfo<br />
** iconv<br />

<br />
=June Notes=<br />
==PHP 8.4==<br />
* This can be done prior to the major jump as 1.39 supports 8.4<br />
===Steps===<br />
* dpkg -l | grep php<br />
* sudo apt-get install php8.4<br />
* sudo apt install php8.4-cli php8.4-common php8.4-mysql php8.4-zip php8.4-gd php8.4-mbstring php8.4-curl php8.4-xml php8.4-bcmath<br />

* php -v<br />
* sudo a2dismod php7.4 9<br />
* sudo a2enmod php8.4<br />
* sudo systemctl restart apache2<br />
* Check wiki version, should be at 8.4.x<br />
==MySQL==<br />
# copy the existing db into a new db_1.43<br />
# set permissions<br />
<br />
==Mediawiki Files==<br />
# Make a list of the extensions...<br />
# sudo mkdir it-wiki-1.43<br />
# chown it:www-data it-wiki-1.43<br />
# upload new files to 1.43<br />
# cp /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/LocalSettings.php /var/www/html/wiki-1.43<br />
# cp -r /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/images/ /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/<br />
# set permissions<br />
#* sudo chown -R it:www-data /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
#* sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
# edit LocalSettings.php to reflect url path for testing<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
# change the db to 143<br />
# set the skin to vector (shut off foreground)<br />
# disable extensions<br />
# Test<br />
# sort out extensions and cleanup LocalSettings.php<br />
<br />
===Changeover===<br />
After testing...<br />
# Set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=The Approach=<br />
* ALL THIS STUFF IS FROM THE LAST PAGE, REVAMP IT!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Prepping the Databases==<br />
# Backup the MW databases<br />
# Find my Google sheet with notes<br />
# Tally the extensions in use and find out what is still being maintained.<br />
#* From the old sites I made copy of the Extensions that were installed via the Special:Version page<br />
# Upgrade MySQL<br />
# Upgrade PHP<br />
* I installed the lowest version of MediaWiki I required and verified it worked.<br />
** I then pulled in a backup of my two wiki sites<br />
** I imported images/ from the same site<br />
** I pointed mediawiki (via localsettings.php) at one of the databases<br />
*** Ran maintenance/update.php --force<br />
** Verified that the information loaded in the new site<br />
* NOTE: I entirely ignored Skins and Extensions.<br />
* Repeated for Site #2<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Eventually I had two working MW databases at 1.39<br />
==New Ubuntu Server==<br />
* I created a new Ubuntu 22.04 server and on this one, I took the time to set up various security related items.<br />
* I opted to put<br />
** MySQL at 8.0.35-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 <br />
** php at 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 (apache2handler)<br />
* Installed apache2, created a new MW1.39LTS site to verify it ran under the new software.<br />
* From there, I imported the two site databases, copied the 1.39 directory to two separate directories, set up MW, imported images and all was good.<br />
==Extensions and Skins==<br />
* The Skin was freshly installed from the latest version. Not much of an issue there.<br />
* This was a little more tedious: I matched up the default 1.39 extensions against the old site listings and then went looking to for the latest extensions.<br />
** Some extensions were still in production<br />
** Some were not<br />
* Fiddled until things were working. Had to fix some code for YouTube.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
* I tried this about seven months ago and I was attempting to update the extensions as I went: this was not the way to go. Getting the database updated was the key and ignoring everything else made that easier to do. All a wiki really is at the base is the information (database) and the images/... everything else is functionality.<br />

This was a WhatIf page to map out 1.39 to 1.43 with a thought of waiting until November for 1.47 LTS... but I went for it this past week.<br><br><br />

#* Sometimes a major revision upgrade of the OS carries these with them and it might be worth updating the OS or starting a fresh install<br />
# BACK THINGS UP <br />
# List your extensions (go to the Special:Version page, copy that page out to a Google Sheet so the links are intact)<br />
# Create a new database_### and import the previous version db into that<br />
# Create a new html dir mediawiki_### and import the target mediawiki into that<br />
# Copy LocalSettings.php into the new dir from the old dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
## Update the following with temporary values<br />
##* $wgScriptPath<br />
##* $wgServer<br />
## Comment out all of the extensions<br />
## Set the skin to one that comes stock<br />
# run php maintenance\update.php from the command line<br />
# Copy the images/ directory from the old install<br />
# Update file permissions as needed during testing<br />
# Work through the extensions<br />
#* It is worth curating the extensions so you know what is custom and came with the new update<br />
#* Comment out any that you are not using<br />
#* Add ## or #! for ones that crash MW<br />
# Work through the skins<br />
# When everything is working, set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# Edit LocalSettings.php<br />
#* $wgScriptPath<br />
#* $wgServer<br />

==MySQL==<br />
# copy the existing db into a new db_1.43<br />
# set permissions<br />
<br />
==Mediawiki Files==<br />
# Make a list of the extensions...<br />
# sudo mkdir it-wiki-1.43<br />
# chown it:www-data it-wiki-1.43<br />
# upload new files to 1.43<br />
# cp /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/LocalSettings.php /var/www/html/wiki-1.43<br />
# cp -r /var/www/html/wiki-1.39/images/ /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/<br />
# set permissions<br />
#* sudo chown -R it:www-data /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
#* sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/wiki-1.43/images<br />
# edit LocalSettings.php to reflect url path for testing<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
# change the db to 143<br />
# set the skin to vector (shut off foreground)<br />
# disable extensions<br />
# Test<br />
# sort out extensions and cleanup LocalSettings.php<br />
<br />
===Changeover===<br />
After testing...<br />
# Set the symlink to the new dir<br />
# $wgScriptPath<br />
# $wgServer<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=The Approach=<br />
* ALL THIS STUFF IS FROM THE LAST PAGE, REVAMP IT!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Prepping the Databases==<br />
# Backup the MW databases<br />
# Find my Google sheet with notes<br />
# Tally the extensions in use and find out what is still being maintained.<br />
#* From the old sites I made copy of the Extensions that were installed via the Special:Version page<br />
# Upgrade MySQL<br />
# Upgrade PHP<br />
* I installed the lowest version of MediaWiki I required and verified it worked.<br />
** I then pulled in a backup of my two wiki sites<br />
** I imported images/ from the same site<br />
** I pointed mediawiki (via localsettings.php) at one of the databases<br />
*** Ran maintenance/update.php --force<br />
** Verified that the information loaded in the new site<br />
* NOTE: I entirely ignored Skins and Extensions.<br />
* Repeated for Site #2<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Eventually I had two working MW databases at 1.39<br />
==New Ubuntu Server==<br />
* I created a new Ubuntu 22.04 server and on this one, I took the time to set up various security related items.<br />
* I opted to put<br />
** MySQL at 8.0.35-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 <br />
** php at 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 (apache2handler)<br />
* Installed apache2, created a new MW1.39LTS site to verify it ran under the new software.<br />
* From there, I imported the two site databases, copied the 1.39 directory to two separate directories, set up MW, imported images and all was good.<br />
==Extensions and Skins==<br />
* The Skin was freshly installed from the latest version. Not much of an issue there.<br />
* This was a little more tedious: I matched up the default 1.39 extensions against the old site listings and then went looking to for the latest extensions.<br />
** Some extensions were still in production<br />
** Some were not<br />
* Fiddled until things were working. Had to fix some code for YouTube.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
* I tried this about seven months ago and I was attempting to update the extensions as I went: this was not the way to go. Getting the database updated was the key and ignoring everything else made that easier to do. All a wiki really is at the base is the information (database) and the images/... everything else is functionality.<br />
