Extension:CentralAuth I’m trying to install this Extension on my wiki but I had a question that in Infinity Free Hosting can we enable this Extension as it is to merge account in 2 or more wikis so can we do that in wiki here by having 2 wikis.
(other information and details relevant to your question)
Unfortunately, it’s probably not going to work due to the security system:
You will likely run into CORS issue as well
Actually there don’t need to be two wikis actually one wiki would be fine I’ve one question that can’t we run update.php in Infinity free host or isn’t there any cmd terminal to run scripts can’t we run scripts.
A quick scroll through the extension documentation doesn’t highlight any particular issues to me that could prevent you from doing this. The communication between the wikis appears to be done through the database.
Running the migration scripts is a bit more difficult. The table setup can probably be done by just grabbing the SQL files yourself and just loading them into phpMyAdmin.
The PHP migration scripts are a bit harder to reproduce. I’m not sure how that can be done easily. Maybe you’ll need to temporarily copy your websites to a local PHP server (like XAMPP) to run the commands.
Does copying my website into a local server like XAMPP and fixing it there and aging transfering it to website will this work. Because I already have an wiki having working CentralAuth so If I replace it with Infinity free one will it work.
Yes, that’s exactly what I proposed, and it should work.
Actually I’ve one wiki already having Central Auth on XAMPP so If I copy the Extension Central Auth and AntiSpoof another required extension only using Fire Zilla and place it in Infinity free will this work or I’ve to copy my this Infinity free wiki to XAMPP and do all process there and transfer it back.
Either way should work.
The gist is that you need to perform the migration steps locally then migrate the wiki to our hosting. Whether you start building the wiki on our hosting and then migrate it locally, or start locally first, is not important. Whatever works for you.
Now I’ve one problem that while copying my website to local server XAMPP I couldn’t make ZIP archive via File Manager or cPannel as it says error and downloading the files from FTP client it takes huge amount of time so now how can I easily in less amount of time make archive or something to copy it to local server can you do something.
This is the only way
Isn’t there any alternative for doing it fast any.
Downloading the directory through FileZilla as-is is the fastest method. It’s still not fast, but at least it will work in the end, unlike trying to make archive downloading work.
Ok then Can I know that estimated approximately how much time can it take?
Depends on your internet speed and how many other people are using the server.
When downloading many small files with FTP, it mostly depends on the latency between you and our FTP server, not so much your raw internet speed. Most of the time will be spent setting up the individual downloads, more so than the download itself. The FTP server is in the UK, so in (Western) Europe, the speed is pretty good, but the further away you get the slower it becomes. The stability of your network also matters: a wired connection on residential fiber is faster than WiFi or mobile.
It also depends on how big your website is. Unfortunately, MediaWiki is big.
So it will probably take a while. It could take multiple hours. But how many hours is impossible to tell from our end.
One thing you could do is crank up the number of concurrent connections in FileZilla. By default, it only downloads 2 files at a time, but you can increase that to 10. Usually that brings a 5x speed boost.
Ok I’ve done a new thing I installed Media Wiki 1.41.1 on local server XAMPP and installed and set-up Central Auth there and it’s working so now I’ve created a domain and two database one for wiki and on for central Auth so I made zip of the file of the wiki on local server and transferred it to XAMPP file and I’ve exported SQL of both my wiki database and central Auth and now willing to import it to here wiki database I created so will this work.
