I am a newbie in php and my next task i have to build a mediawiki extension that will embed the datagrepper messages in wiki user profile. Even setting up the mediawiki environment became a tough job for me. But I have managed to do so and now i am going to share the installation steps.
How to install Mediawiki-vagrant?
1. Install git
2. Get virtualbox
First install the dependencies:
$ sudo yum update $ sudo yum install binutils qt gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms
Now, install VirtualBox:
$ sudo yum install VirtualBox-4.3
3. Download the latest version of vagrant.
4. Get the code and create your machine:
$ git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/vagrant $ cd vagrant $ vagrant up [charul@localhost vagrant]$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... [default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... [default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces... [default] Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...

[default] -- /vagrant [default] -- /vagrant/logs [default] -- /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/manifests [default] -- /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0 [default] VM already provisioned. Run `vagrant provision` or use `--provision` to force it
As there is a proxy behind my internet connection, i had to install vagrant-proxyconf plugin.
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf
Then i configured proxy by adding the following lines to $HOME/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile (or to the project Vagrantfile)
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
config.proxy.http = "http://username:password@proxyhost:port/"
config.proxy.https = "http://username:password@proxyhost:port/"
config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1,.example.com"
end
# ... other stuff
end
After this,
$ vagrant provision
For the first time I got this output which wasn’t correct. 😦

Stderr from the command:
This was the time when i got really frustrated. Even after repeated number of trials i couldn’t succeed. This was mainly because of the proxy and also many websites are blocked in my college. It failed to download few dependencies like phpsh, php5-redis etc. I manually installed them and but ‘vagrant provision’ command gave me the same error everytime. So i was left with one option i.e to install them without proxy connection. I did it and it was successfully installed. This gave me a momentarily relief but the real problems were yet to arrive. Well, i will discuss about them in the next blog. For now I am feeling accomplished after installing this.
So, the correct result that should be displayed on terminal after ‘vagrant provision’ is:
[charul@localhost vagrant]$ vagrant provision [default] Running provisioner: puppet... Running Puppet with site.pp... info: Applying configuration version '1392886401.15b24e4' info: mount[files]: allowing mediawiki-vagrant access notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki/File[/vagrant/settings.d]/mode: mode changed '0775' to '0755' notice: Finished catalog run in 5.91 seconds
Now to go to mediawiki main page, go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/wiki/Main_Page.
In order to remotely login mediawiki-vagrant from terminal:
$ vagrant ssh
I think this looks cool 🙂
