I would like to take a working, stable, MediaWiki directory under /var/www, copy its contents to a new directory, and perform whatever steps are necessary to place the new directory into "just installed" state.

Media Wiki 1.15.0 Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at localhost Port 80 PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Nov 13 2010 16:08:24) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.7 (Tikanga) Your MySQL connection id is 487 Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution

I am familiar enough with MySQL and the config files to change whatever is needed to reset everything. I cannot find any instructions like this at all out on the web.

    Why not just do a fresh install of the same version to the new location? – Shane Madden Jan 03 '12 at 20:38
  • Probably as simple as cleaning the database and removing the generated config file. What will doing this accomplish vs. downloading the tarball and extracting it? – Tim Jan 03 '12 at 20:43
  • Where can I get that version? I'd do it in a second. Also, if you'd answer this, I'd mark it as an answer, and vote it up. – octopusgrabbus Jan 03 '12 at 22:07

I would just download a new Media Wiki install here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download

Then just unzip it and go. I don't understand the need for moving an old one if you don't want any of the data on it.
