Now you will access the web site directly. In the AWS Instances dashboard, click on your running instance, and look in the bottom part of the page. Here you will find all of the information about your server. One of these items is the AWS supplied domain name for the instance. Click the Open address link under the Public IPv4 heading. This will open your website in a new window. Please note that you may get a warning that the site is not secure, proceed anyway and open the site. We will set up a self-signed https certificate at a later point.

• Follow the instructions on the installer page to install MediaWiki.
  • Under extras, check only Visual Editor. The rest will be installed from the back end.
• When the installer is finished, download the LocalSettings.php file to your local computer.
• Return to the command line and create the LocalSettings.php file using the nano text editor:

sudo nano /var/www/html/wiki/LocalSettings.php

• Open the LocalSettings.php file you downloaded on your computer in the editor of your choice. Copy all the text.
• Switch back to the SSH program and paste this text into the nano editor.
• Make sure you are at the end of the file in nano.
• Use Ctrl-R to read in a file. It will ask for the location of the file. Paste in the following:

/var/www/html/wiki/SettingsExtras.php. 

• Use Ctrl-x to Save the file and exit nano.
• Open MySQL and import theinterwikidata.sql.

sudo MySQL;
use mywikidb; (Your database name)
source /var/www/html/wiki/theinterwikidata.sql;
exit;

This will overwrite all but the admin user with all the template data.

• Update the database and Semantic Mediawiki with the data you just imported.

php /var/www/html/wiki/maintenance/update.php  (run this twice)
php /var/www/html/wiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php

Go back to the web interface and reload the page to confirm all is working. Proceed to fill in physicians and procedure data.
