== Step 1: Install MediaWiki == #mediawiki

{{{
$ sudo port install MediaWiki
}}}

MediaWiki will also install:
* port:php56-intl 
* port:php56-dba 
* port:php56-mbstring
* port:ImageMagick


== MySQL installation ==

  create database wikidb;
  grant index, create, select, insert, update, delete, alter, lock tables on wikidb.* to 'wikiuser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

If your database is not running on the same server as your web server, you need to give the appropriate web server hostname -- mediawiki.example.com in my example -- as follows:
  grant index, create, select, insert, update, delete, alter, lock tables on wikidb.* to
  'wikiuser'@'mediawiki.example.com' identified by 'password';
