Setting up MediaWiki on our Lighttpd web server and PostgreSQL execution environment under Alpine Linux
Welcome back to another tutorial from our Alpine Linux explorations tutorial series.
This time we are going to set up MediaWiki on our Lighttpd web server and PostgreSQL execution environment under Alpine Linux.
Let us begin:
1. Once our Alpine Linux virtual machine execution environment has fully booted we are ready to begin the process – system ready.
2. We need to open the Linux Terminal.
3. We need to switch to the root user to run the necessary commands.
4. We need to update our Linux System to prepare for the MediaWiki deployment.
5. We need to update our Linux System to prepare for the MediaWiki deployment.
6. We need to update our Linux System to prepare for the MediaWiki deployment.
7. Now we need to install our Lighttpd web server and PHP support packages.
8. Now we need additional PostgreSQL database support packages.
9. We need to install MediaWiki.
10. Unpack the archive file.
11. Rename the MediaWiki directory and remove the tar archive file.
12. Change the permissions and create the necessary symlink.
13. We need to edit the Lighttpd web server configuration file.
14. We need to enable the fastcgi option.
15. Starting up PostgreSQL for our database support (we need it for our Lighttpd web server and MediaWiki).
16. We need to register our new PostgreSQL database server and add it to our boot autostart list.

32. We use the command 'poweroff' to shut down our Linux server machine.
Well, that was most enjoyable. See you in the next tutorial!
