Procedure.svg Add a wiki database
Organic Design procedure

Usage

Note: The databases referred to in the add-db command must pre-exist

    add-db TEMPLATE DB1.PREFIX1 [DB2.]PREFIX2 [DB3.]PREFIX3...

    Where,
        TEMPLATE is the name of the *.sql file or db.prefix to use as the template.

        DB*.PREFIX* are the databases to replicate the template into and the
        table prefixes to use (prefixes are mandatory).

Notes:

  • There is also an add-wiki script in MW maintenance dir which we need to check out
  • The database dump being used as a template should only contain one wiki.
  • It should not include create or drop database statements.
  • The destination databases must already exist
  • The destination tables will be replaced if they exist
  • The DB part is optional for all but the first and means to continue using the previous database.\n"

Next

After installing a wiki database, you can then install the wiki.
