<bash> url=foo.com documentroot=/var/www/ mapdir=fodda templatedir=template version=1.11.0

if [ ! -d $documentroot/domains ] then 

mkdir $documentroot/domains

fi

if [ ! -d $documentroot/wikis ] then 

mkdir $documentroot/wikis

fi

mkdir $documentroot/wikis/$mapdir

  1. 2) Mapping

ln -s $documentroot/wikis/$mapdir $documentroot/domains/$url ln -s $documentroot/mediawiki-$version $documentroot/wikis/$mapdir/wiki cp -p $documentroot/wikis/$templatedir/LocalSettings.php $documentroot/wikis/$mapdir cp -pR $documentroot/wikis/$templatedir/files $documentroot/wikis/$mapdir </bash>
