Dart
You probably want to see the page "Bringing up Dart" but right now, that page is... on Dart... which is not up. Actually the GEO-CEG wiki moved to http://wiki.geo-ceg.org/ after I wrote that.
I keep a separate page for each computer I own, as a form of asset management.

- smarthost using gmail, because I use gmail for the Wildsong and Geo-CEG domains.
- sasl auth is needed to talk gmail
Mediawiki + MySQL
I decided to go w/ MySQL because of support issues (MySQL is sort of the "official" database of mediawiki), this means running both MySQL and PostgreSQL on Dart. Dart has lots of memory and the machine's not doing much anyway... The main reason I install PostgresSQL on Dart is for PostGIS.
Installing mysql means I install other stuff. Installing mediawiki calls for a few things too.
apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin postfix-mysql apt-get install php-apc git
With MediaWiki, along come my favorite extensions.
PostgreSQL
The wiki on this server is using PostgreSQL. I need version 9.3 or higher
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ wheezy-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install postgresql-9.4
2015-Feb-27
I packed up Dart last May (2014) shortly after re-installing the operating system and switching to Debian. Now I am trying to pick up the pieces. There is no Web server right now! Zow! How can that be?
I do remember I gave up on CentOS when I found out how impractical it was to try to run my own copy of ESRI ArcGIS Server after I lost (free) access to a developer license.
