Overview
This procedure documents restoration of a site instance backed up with the Media Wiki Backup procedure. Restoration implies performing a full new installation of the latest LTS version as a prerequisite, as described here Media Wiki Installation.
Restore the Database
Use the restoration script to create the database and the database user being restored, then restore the database.
backup-system/mediawiki-restore -v \
/Users/ovidiu/tmp/2023.12.29-03.00.01-not500-kb.novaordis.com-backup.tgz \
/opt/brew/var/www/mediawiki-1.39.6 -d /Users/ovidiu/tmp/post-install
Modify the script to be able to stop after restoring the database.
Collect database user, password and database name.
Update /opt/brew/var/www/mediawiki-1.39.6/LocalSettings.php:
$wgDBname = "novaordis_wiki";
$wgDBuser = "novaordis_wiki";
$wgDBpassword = "...";
