Command line

[Skizzerz]

The web software I'm running (mediawiki) requires command line access for a few installation scripts, among other things, and I was wondering how do I go about requesting an administrator to do this (I know that you don't give out SSH to free users, which is why I'm not asking). I know the commands that need to be run, but I'd rather not make them publicly available if at all possible. I also know that I shouldn't pm the admins unless asked to do so, so I'm in a conundrum. How should I request that these commands be carried out?

You don't have to run any commands to get mediawiki working.
The database stuff you do in cPanel.

I have the base software working just fine, but I need to run installation scripts for some extensions I want to include (namely, CheckUser and IRC Chat (also, please excuse me if the IRC Chat violates the terms of service, I didn't see anything in there against having an IRC Client, but if that is disallowed, I will pursue the idea no further)).

No IRC is allowed on our servers. I don't see anything about SSH in CheckUser you should be all set.

I beg to differ (about the CU part). In CheckUser, it says here (in step 2): "open up command line and run install.php".

The path to the file is

http://maplestreetwiki.x10hosting.com/w/extensions/install.php

so if you could just do that... I'll get out of your guys' hair

As for the IRC, it might be helpful to add a clause about that to the terms of service so questions like mine don't come up in the future.

Seems to be an error with the script when I run it, if you could see what the problem is I would try again.

[root@stoli extensions]# php install.php

Warning: require_once(/home/skizzerz/public_html/w/extensions/../../maintenance/commandLine.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/skizzerz/public_html/w/extensions/install.php on line 7

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/skizzerz/public_html/w/extensions/../../maintenance/commandLine.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/skizzerz/public_html/w/extensions/install.php on line 7
[root@stoli extensions]#

I think I've corrected the mistake in the .php file to account for the extra directories in front. Try it again now.

 

[Brandon]

Alright, you should be all set now.

[root@stoli extensions]# php install.php
...cu_changes table added.
...cu_changes table added and populated.
[root@stoli extensions]#
