I’ll download LocalSettings.php to my computer and open it with a text editor. For this tutorial, I’ve installed MediaWiki in a directory called “wiki.” So the path to LocalSettings.php is: /public_html/wiki/LocalSettings.php LocalSettings.php is located in the root directory of your MediaWiki installation. We’ll do that by editing the LocalSettings.php file. One of the first things you’ll want to change may be the default logo. You can do that using the cPanel file editor, or an FTP program.įor this MediaWiki tutorial, I’ll be using FTP, but if you prefer a web-based file editor, check out our comprehensive guide to using the cPanel file editor.

Otherwise, log into cPanel and go to the “Softaculous Apps Installer” section. If your hosting provides a direct login to Softaculous, log in there. We’ll go through the Softaculous MediaWiki installation, and then I’ll show you a couple of configuration options that you may want to use. That’s a valuable perk when working with software like MediaWiki, which can be inconvenient to maintain otherwise.

Softaculous can alert you when a new version is available and do the update for you.
One of the advantages of using Softaculous is the ability to track updates. The best piece of software for wikis is MediaWiki, and the easiest way to install MediaWiki is through Softaculous.
