 |
|
Alright, I've got my laptop, but I spend the majority of my time without an internet connection. I'd like to download the wikipedia database in SQL/XML form and set it up on my own wikipedia/apache2 server. The only thing is, I don't know how to set up wikipedia witht he downloads from http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/
Do I install apache2, mysql, mediawiki, and then import the sql databases or something?
Anyhelp would be appreciated here (the sql/xml SHOULD be smaller than plain html documents, right?)
Thanks for any help!

This may help you getting going. If it's using MySQL, you would need to import the MySQL database file. It ends in with a .sql extension. Once you have MySQL running and functioning type this into a command prompt
Found this searching on google
| Code: | | mysql -p -h dbname < /path/to/dbname.sql |
dbname would be the name of your database within MySQL, and dbname.sql is the mediawiki sql script to set up your database.
Hope this helps!
