[edit] how to archive a mediawiki wiki to an xml text file

  • note: this works if and only if you are using the MediaWiki wiki software -- this will not work with any other wiki software package

[edit] create the AdminSettings.php file

  • if it does not already exist, create AdminSettings.php under the webserver directory in which your mediawiki wiki lives:
    • for example, if your wiki is hosted under /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wiki, populate the file /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wiki/AdminSettings.php as follows: 
<?php

$wgDBadminuser = 'root';
$wgDBadminpassword = '';

$wgEnableProfileInfo = false;

?>
  • set the appropriate permissions on this file: 
chmod 700 /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wiki/AdminSettings.php

[edit] install the php command line interface

apt-get -y install php5-cli

[edit] output an archive of all of your wiki pages to an xml text file

php /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wiki/maintenance/dumpBackup.php --current --report=5 > /tmp/my_wiki_archive.xml
